You cant leave out T20.  You bowl fast you bowl fast simple.  Dont say undkat bowling 150 in t20

 

Ferguson was clocking 153!!!!  Not seen any player do this in T20 unless rapido.  Ferguson is fast and will bowl fast anywhere any format

Starc bowls that in test which Ferguson hasn't done yet. Starc is inarguably the fastest at the moment. 

[rkt.india]

Starc

Ferguson

Gabriel

Thomas

Stanlake

 

These are the fastest at the moment.

Tofay Marc Wood was bowling fast. England slip fielders were standing bit far too. Brilliant bowling today.

Ferguson is as quick if not quicker than Starc

Length matters too I guess. Wagner runs in and bowls 135ks short balls that rise at an awkward length all day. Speed doesn’t show how uncomfortable he makes the batsmen.

 

Same applies to Cummins as well.

 

These Guys are 5 clicks slower but are more dangerous than Starc or Mark Wood at times.

the speed shown is in release end, batsmen feel the speed at the bat, some of them bowl in awkward angles and also get more pace at the business end.

ok, never seen him bowl. NZ i guess.

Wonder how much Bumrah could add if he lengthens his run up a bit. Even Shami can improve his run up and final approach, looks somewhat uncoordinated atm.

Starc looked really avg in test series but in world cup i am sure he will bowl fastest ball or have fastest avg speed as pace bowler.

 

My Prediction for Worldcup:
 

For India:

Bumrah (Max 150/ Avg 143+)

Shami (Max 148-09/ Avg 140+)

 

For Australia:

Starc (Max 154-155 kph/ Avg: 144+)

Cummins (Max 150/ Avg 140+)

 

For New Zealand:

Lockie Ferguson: (Max 154kph/ Avg 144+)

 

For England:

Mark Wood: (Max 148kph/ Avg 140+)

Plunkett: (Max 148kph/Avg 141+)

 

For South Africa:
Rabada: (Max 151 kph/ Avg 141+)

Steyn: (Max 146 kph/ Avg 138+)

Mark wood clocked 152.2 kph in this test match itself.

Anyway the answer to this thread is STARC by miles. The guy clicks high 140's, early 150's in almost every single match he plays across all formats. And he's been doing this for 4 consecutive years as well. Others don't bowl anywhere close to his average pace and gave much lesser workloads across formats and certainly haven't shown consistent pace year after year. 

[Insidious]

Starc by a country mile. As per cricbuzz his average pace against srilanka in the 2nd test was 151.34 km/h. That is serious pace.

he pretty much does everything with his shoulders atm, if he lengthens up his run-up he will not be the same bowler, he will miss line etc.

Kuggelin is pretty sharp as well
