Current Pakistan top-3 Fast bowlers are 145Kph one is bowling at 148kph Wahab Irfan Junaid High Hope from Ahmad jamal hopefully Jamal also Touch atleast 150kph Mark in future

[rkt.india]

Anyway my point is a guy with breathing problem and not even in best of his fitness easily bowling above 150ks at the age of 35 . Only 2 possible reasons 1 ) born with naturally very strong Right arm 2) use to chuck

Will you bowl 150 if you start chucking?

I never understand how Shoaib was use to bowl at such a pace ? Even in 2011 WC he was touching 150ks easily ,Brett lee on the other hand now just bowl above 140ks. even fit and fine bowlers find it difficult to reach 150ks in mid 20s while he use to bowl that even at 35-36 I seriously believe that something was wrong with his action O/W there is no other answer how he use to bowl fast even at such an old age and when he himself say that he use to limp.

You have overlooked that his speed and injuries have the same explanation. They were both caused by hypermobility in his joints. This allowed him to move through a great range of motion in his elbow, shoulder, knees...everywhere really. This allowed a bowling action more effective than someone whose joints can only move through a regular range of motion. However, it caused him injuries.

Wasn't there a rumor about Shoaib drinking Donkey blood and sprinting for 10 K.M's every day? Not making this **** up....Actually heard this story

It isn't sprinting if you do it for 10km.

Bend arms = high speed`
