msb1991 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 This debate about whether Sreesanth bowled 150kph is just what is wrong with ICF at some times. A fan of Sreesanth notes that Sreesanth can bowl 150kph and then people dispute whether it is true or not. The fact is that he does not often bowl that speed (whatever the reason is irrelevant!) and doing so does not grant him success. In short, the important thing is the speed that a bowler bowls the majority of the time, not his top speed and secondly, it all doesn't matter if the bowler is terribly inconsistent. I bet Indian fans would kill for a Devon Malcolm - I'm far happier with an Angus Fraser.

Sree is still a 135-140kmph with swing. He can up his speed if he wants.
Dravid_TheWall Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Pakistan in India ODI Series - 5th ODI in jaipur sree clocked 149k last ball of the 17th over. I am trying to find footage or info on 150k ball. I am sure he did hit the magical mark.
Vilander Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 he bowled one over with lots of ball in 149 and he touched 150. something..i remember it.
Vilander Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Wow.. Very pleased to read following statement from Mr. Campbell: Honestly speaking I wasn't much aware of Srinath's exploits as out and out pace bowler. Having said that I always knew that he was quick,from the time he broke Mourik Pringle's nose during 92 tour, and carried India's attack admirably on many away tours like England 96, SA 96-97. But his pacy period seems to have faded relatively quickly. I remember Sreenath hitting 142 in 2003 WC. he was slower than Zak and Nehra who could both bowl 148. But it was all Lee, Akthar and bond show with 150+
rkt.india Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Sreesanth bowled 150 kpmh plus v SL in wc final. He should be 4 on that list. He did bowl a few at 144-145 but LOL at 150. He ran out of gas after 2-3 overs of quick bowling. It was comical and embarrassing to see him even struggling to complete even his runup, so much being a fast bowler.

Our bowlers do need better fitness though. In tests you see a lot of players drop speed as their spell progresses.
Laaloo Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 The clown was bowling 120 -130kph in England :hysterical:

PaceAttack Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 One of the commie in the IPL match was saying that TA sekar was the fastest bowler India has ever produced. Is that true? Anyone seen him bowl here?
vvvslaxman Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 :giggle: If both sree and Mishra give the same pose now.. :cantstop: it would be hilarious
maniac Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 If both sree and Mishra give the same pose now.. :cantstop: it would be hilarious As an Indian fan it would be quiet sad tbh.....Looks like they were on the Duncan Fletcher diet...opposite of the Jenny Craig diet
vayuu1 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 What about Mohammad Nissar and Amar Singh? Mohd.nissar was quicker than Harold larwood and amar Singh was quick with ability to swing the ball ,not to forget a very useful batsman as well.
vayuu1 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 What about rehan khan aka Bihar express whom some were saying is quicker than umesh ,Aaron and ishant.
