Sachinism Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Dont talk about Atul Sharma anymore if he is exist then we will all know in IPL till then keep silent This coming from the guy who bumped the Atul Sharma thread daily :cantstop:
Macj Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 WA is one of the very few, if not the only one, paki cricketer that I have some respect for. He was lethal even when he was not pacey. And a very useful batsman as well. Among the current bunch Johnson is miles ahead of any, even among all bowlers he is at the top rung because of his stamina, bowling and batting. Especially since for the last 5-6 years of his career he shortened his runup big time.
Ram Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 No doubt whatsoever, Its Mitchell Johnson. Akram was brisk, but never consistently in the 90 mph range. Forget left arm bowlers, I think Johnson is the quickest bowler in the world right now in terms of averge speed over a long spell.
msb1991 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Mitchell Johnson, imo followed by Brett Schultz, who was said to be very lively.
nikred Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 x2. The most unluckiest player ever... Don't remember seeing him. Whats his story?
Don Sharma Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Don't remember seeing him. Whats his story? He was always injury prone. He has had more than one surgery to his knee also has injuired his shoulder a couple of times. On his the tour to Pak he injuired his shoulder in the first innings of the first test and thts it never played in the series again. I regard him as the most unluckiest bowler, a distant second will be Dion Nash/ Geoff Allott.
bharat297 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 On Raw pace ... ud have to say Johnson ... he's consistently at the high 140s and occassionally even at the low 150s ... Wasim Akram was more mid 140s. He seemed quicker because he did more with the ball, but im pretty sure (i cant be 100% sure because by the time reliable speed guns were around, Akram was quite old) Johnson would pip him pace wise.
Donny Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Who cares ?? The great pacemen - Lillee, Hadlee, Pollock, Akram, McGrath etc. - all cut down their speed to be more effective.
bharat297 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Fantastic ... but thats not what the question was ... LOL.
Chorazin Reto Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 ""Forget left arm bowlers, I think Johnson is the quickest bowler in the world right now in terms of averge speed over a long spell."" Over a long spell yes, the fastest still in our domestic competition is Shaun Tait.
Donny Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Fantastic ... but thats not what the question was ... LOL. I answered the question.
bharat297 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 The question was who is the quickest left arm bowler? Who cares ?? The great pacemen - Lillee, Hadlee, Pollock, Akram, McGrath etc. - all cut down their speed to be more effective. ... I answered the question. :hmmmm: Care to explain???
