Tiger80 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaG58fLspYs]Fastest Ball in 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup by Shoaib Akhtar - YouTube[/ame] According to speed gun Shoaib Akhthar bowled fastest bowl of 159 kph in Wc 2011.I still don't understand how is it possible for Shoaib to bowl at such pace when his paper age is 35 real age could be 37 or more Was there something wrong in speed gun? Is there something wrong in his action Or his action could be the possible reason
One&only Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Speed Gun error for sure , look how close Kamran is standing and how easily he caught it, fastest ball he bowled in this WC was 151 k
Rightarmfast Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Speed gun error obviously. As mentioned, just look at the ease the wicketkeeper caught it. The other factor, the batsmen reaction wasnt hurried, even though he did not touch it. And had this bowl been actually bowled at 159, it would have become a topic of discussion.
Dravid_TheWall Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 As others have said about the speed gun error. But also shoaib generally did not bowl quick in his last world cup. He had a shorter run up and was bowling line and length mainly at late 80's mph.
cricketman Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 A Zaheer Khan slower ball was recorded at 108MPH :hysterical:
Trichromatic Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 This ball doesn't look that fast. I guess some of his other deliveries looked faster than this.
NareshK Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 The best evidence is even Kamran Akmal caught it with ease. :P There's no way the ball was bowled at 150 kmph.
One&only Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 This may give you some idea of the faulty speed gu Skip to 1:31 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vye1SQHoGdg]Fastest Ball in history, Zaheer Khan India.mp4 - YouTube[/ame]

Cricket Tragic Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 :WTF: are you guys doing? This was the high point of Pakistan's WC campaign.
Yoda-esque Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah Right..I think Zak bowled one at a million mph..The speed gun showed it
Gotham Cronie Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 :WTF: are you guys doing? This was the high point of Pakistan's WC campaign. Ending AUS's undefeated streak wasn't bad.
