Mosher Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 3 hours ago, rkt.india said: Akhtar clocked 154, the fastest, Srinath 149, second fastest. My bad. Srinath was the 2nd fastest in that WC but he did bowl 154.5 in that WC. Part of 1999 World Cup, Srinath touched 154.5 KMPH (96 MPH) mark on the speed gun to become the India’s quickest ball deliverer and the second fastest after Shoiab Akthar in that tournament. https://www.crictracker.com/top-5-fastest-balls-delivered-by-indians-in-cricket/5/ express bowling and Vilander 2 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 4 hours ago, rkt.india said: Not Nehra neither Munaf. Nehra did almost touch 150 in WC 2003,clocking 149.8 in the Final but nevertheless can't be said he clocked 150 as per records Even Agarkar clocked 149 in England 2002 Link to comment

rkt.india Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Srinath in 99 WC. He was genuinely fast in those days. Edited June 1, 2021 by rkt.india Link to comment
Jay Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 15 minutes ago, sarchasm said: Srinath retired just when Indian batting firepower was coming together as a unit - Sachin, Dravid, Laxman, Sehwag, Ganguly...and later Dhoni. And while he had Kumble bowling with him, even spin stocks were bare - an endless parade of journeymen like Nilesh Kulkarni, Bhardwaj, Joshi, Chauhan, Ashish Kapoor etc to partner Kumble. A horror show. The more I go over his career, the more I get convinced of his status as the greatest Indian quick ever. I mean, look at the likes of Starc, Boult, Broad etc celebrated as modern greats. They bowl on conducive pitches and yet have a record that's within 2-3 runs of Srinath. Indian fans on a whole undersell Srinath massively. srinath is a legend. one man army. imagine him next to booms and shami. Would wreak havoc. sub 25 level bowler who was unfortunate to play for a weak side. Vilander 1 Link to comment

Can they sustain that pace and accuracy in tests is a different question often. Link to comment

OpeningBatsman Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Agarkar touched 149, which was a no-ball. Link to comment
express bowling Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Among Indian fast bowlers who have played 10+ tests .... Fastest .... 1. Srinath 2. Umesh 3. Bumrah 4. Shami 5. Ishant 6. Sreesanth / Nehra I find it difficult to compare the speeds of pacers who have bowled quick for multiple years in test matches, with pacers who have not played that much international cricket OR bowled quick primarily in T20s. Among young pacers or pacers who have played less than 10 tests .... Fastest .... 1. Aaron 2. Saini 3. Tyagi 4. Prasidh 5. Siraj 6. Avesh Edited June 5, 2021 by express bowling Mosher, Vilander and Mariyam 3 Link to comment
