Dravid_TheWall Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I don't play much, but I have been clocked by the Natwest Challenge crew in England here a few years ago. It was during a game and before the game anyone from the crowd could bowl. Mine was 81mph. I think that is good for an amatuer.
panther Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 faster than vinay kumar personally never been clocked
bajrang Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 long time ago there was a show,about finding the fastest bowler in india.most of the ppl who came to bowl were in 110-130 range. mostly amateurs and wayward.
Sid Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 But OP I think your spell at Joburg was your best effort.

Dravid_TheWall Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 132ks........in 2003......... Good speed :two_thumbs_up:
Dravid_TheWall Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 i only play tape ball cricket I've only played a handful of proper matches with real ball. Never played tape ball. Usually just tennis ball around here when you play with mates.

Dravid_TheWall Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 you cant hit big sixes with tennis ball you should try tape ball I can't bat well anyway. I did once use tape ball with my brother just remembered, got a lot of swing. Bowling with the tennis ball is boring tbh, no real pace, no swing. Good bounce though at times :haha:
panther Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 when the tape rips you can get some mad reverse swing
Dravid_TheWall Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 when the tape rips you can get some mad reverse swing Next time I play with my bro or mates, I will do this. In the UK not many Indians use tapeball but it sounds much more fun.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 We dont get tape balls here in India.........else would have loved to play with them.........mostly played tennis balls and season balls........In tennis it was more about bowling cutters....
rahulrulezz Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 We dont have guns here in rhe ground but we have speed guns in indoor nets here where one can bowl with good 10-12 steps of runup. I have clicked 128 on that n m sure I click 132-134 with my long runup in a ground during club matches. My run up is bit like Akhtar n bowling action is exactly like Jeff Thomson(check my signature for his action in YouTube) n Malinga.
