is Nahid Rana currently the Fastest Bowler in International Cricket ?

[nitinbwj]

He can rattle with genuine pace everywhere plus he is very tall. An excellent find for Jaahils.

Saw the highlights, this guy is definitely something Bangladesh needs to groom properly. Not like mustafizur where he lost his mojo after injury

88 % deliveries above 140 kph this match.   

 

Nortje doesn't play Tests now but was seriously quick too.

 

Bangladesh have to be very careful. 

 

If he's only 21(real age) , they shouldn't bowl him into the ground and control his workload for the next 3 years .

 

Harder part would be keeping him away from T20's. 

 

Can't remember about which team the article was about but the context was something like this: each year a pacer should bowl x amount of overs or injury will occur if they go over that line - the article used I believe Australian pace battery as an example and another team who was bowling their pacers to the ground and showed examples of how many of them were super fragile because of that. 

 

Some team *cough* *Pakistan* *cough* just doesn't know how to rotate their bowlers consistently to avoid working them like a horse. And in return gets players injured for major tournaments

If Mayank had proper fitness, I think he would be no. 1 in the world on avg pace. of the ones that are playing, I would say wood is the first, and n. Rana would be either 2 or 3 in the list

[vvvslaxman]

While talking about Nahid Rana , ALlan Donald shares some of the importance of extreme pace and how they can be expensive and game breaker in the same match.  How come we don't have coach like Donald. But we have Morkel.

I know would be an unfair comparison but Mayank Yadav whatever little he bowled has not lost his speed.

BD bowling in Aus tests gonna be exciting, early season that too when wickets will be fresh @Lone Wolf

 

They will get whitewashed but also give a few scares to that old, jaded Aussie batting unit. 

[Gollum]

Aus is going to be battered a lot by pace in coming months. 

 

Toygers at home, Saffers away, and if NZ quicks are fit in Nov-Dec, watch out for that series. Let us see how long their ageing pace trio and Lyon can cover for the batsmen. 

 

Hope they are ripe for a thrashing when they come to India next Jan. 21 tests in 9 months will take a toll on that old team, we must be ready to land the killer blow. 

[Nikhil_cric]

Overrated, for now. Lots of pace and bounce but not the skill to go with it. 

 

Pakistani batsmen are terrible against bounce

Despite all that avergaes 37, most of his success is against Pakistan.

Both tests are in Darwin and Mackay not exactly pace bowling paradises I suppose.   CA is not giving them a test at a premier venue which is a shame honestly.

 

Though offers an opportunity for BD to be competitive

Early season pitches will have juice. 

[tapandrun]

He got bounce and pace and can sustain pace, he got the ingredients.  

 

Is he the fastest bowler no, that would be mark wood.

 

Rana got 5-er vs b level but still decent nz side in Odis, he has troubled Pak the most be it intnl or Psl, he is the kryptonite to pak batting style.

India is yet to produce a bowler like Rana in its history. Have too admit it. 6 ft 5 in beast 150+ in test cricket, disgrace that BD has achieved this before us. 

 

We are the only country that hates genuine speedsters.

Nahid Rana is a rarity but India has Mayank Yadav even though he is 6'1 but guess he is as quick as Rana.

 

Though Rana probably has far more overs under him and is fit for the toughness needed for test cricket.  Mayank is injury prone.

Ashok Sharma is not that tall but perhaps quicker than both on average 

 

But there is no doubt India hates fast bowlers and athletics in general.  They look and relish looking at mediocrity and they subconsciously relate to it.. and hate it when folks break the barrier.

Rana has proved himself in test cricket. Mayank atm is a 4 overs specialist, no comparison. 

 

This is another area @deathmonger

Ind crkting system rejects bowlers trying to bowl fast, they think high pace bowlers have to be world class out of the box.

Yup. Bangladesh's economic growth means they become the Asian no 2 eventually with their massive population.

India with 1.5 billion pop should produce at least 1 150+ guy in tests. 

 

Disgrace that we have failed to do that till now. BD with worse sports culture and 1/10th of our pop has managed it.

Nahid Ranas average speed is 141, I raise you Ishant Sharma who used to bowl at high speeds in the first 5-6 years of his career, still remember his fiery spell to Ponting on debut. He slowed down after that as most fast bowlers do. So yes we did produce one like that , averages are similar too.
