In T20 he might have touched 155 around that time No. I have watched him since his bbl debut. He was not 155 kph. Though he was only 17-18 according to official age so I had thought in few years he might bowl 155-160 but due to injuries he couldn't progress to that level.

tapandrun Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Think fastest Cummins ever bowled was around 152 kmph, he was 19 or something so it was thought that he will gain some more speed as he progresses. Think in the same video or other video they claimed Tait was even faster before making it to Aus team, so will take those cummins being 155 kmph bowler and tait even faster than what he bowled in Intnl with pinch of salt. express bowling, JaFanatic and raki05 1 2 Link to comment

JaFanatic Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Like how Srinath bowled @157 against Zimbabwe in 97? Perhaps Irfan's 153.7? Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 I've seen Vinay Kumar touch 150 in an ODI in and against Australia. Link to comment

There are more sh!ts like this online https://www.vision11.in/blog/2024/08/22/fastest-bowlers-in-india-fastest-balls-delivered-by-indian-bowlers/ Even that 154.5k of Srinath was actually bowled by Akthar in the 99 world cup(fastest of that tourney) for which these morons are taking credits for Srinath!

It only started when Ishant sharma bowled some 150 kmph balls in Aus , before that there was no mention of Srinath bowling at 157 kmph. Not saying he was not fast just were the speeds really recorded some where ?? Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 32 minutes ago, tapandrun said: Speedgun error. I don't even have to take a look at that clip brother. How on earth a bowler who has always been 130ish(mid 120s at some points) bowls just one delivery at 153.7? What's fastest ball if u remove that one odd delivery? Should be somewhere around 145-147 at his max effort. Some of us Indians are so desperate to make claims that Irfan Pathan is a 150+ bowler! Link to comment

Having said that it's not officials' responsibility to give clarifications for every other wrong reading by the speedometer! Like Irfan's 153.7 or Vinay's 150 Link to comment

He was more of a 130+ bowler in his later stages. Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) India finally got bowlers who are actually breaching the 150+ marks. Celebrate them if you want to celebrate bowlers for their capability to bowl at higher pace. Why make stupid claims like Irfan's 153.7 and Srinath's 157? Are Bumrah and Shami joke to these guys? Both breached the 150 mark in every spell and even every over at times during their prime! Edited October 18 by JaFanatic Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Both Bumrah and Shami still bowls at mid 140s consistently if need be! One is in his early 30s and the other is in his mid 30s. Irfan couldn't do it even in his 20s for heaven sake. Srinath hardly touched(let alone consistently hitting) 140k in his 30s. MechEng 1 Link to comment
