Dravid_TheWall Posted November 10, 2011 Author 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. Woahh even more slingly than mine. Yeah I am aware of Thommo. Mine is like Fidel's.
Serani Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Mine is like malcolm marshalls but im a bit quicker
maniac Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I clocked 160mph in a match against Pak in the Wc final in air cricket...... :picsorstfu: ....in this case videos
rkt.india Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I don't know Serani but why you think guys who are playing Club cricket, FC cricket, and international cricket can only clock fast. Other guys may not be genuine quick, but clocking 75-80 mph is not a big thing. Even Dhoni clocks that who is a WK/bat. Big thing is clocking 85 mph. Most guys who can bowl with good balanced action and has bowled somewhere like in college if not for club can clock 75 mph easily. Because to clock 75-80 mph, you do not need any special thing in you. If you need any then it is to clock 90 mph that is why 90 mph bowlers are rare. In my club, most fast bowlers will be clocking that speed easily and one guy I am sure can certainly clock 85 mph though not measured on speed guns yet, but he is certainly fast and the fastest bowler in the state capital region, but lack of exposure in our area has not helped him go ahead as our state do not have any Ranji Trophy team yet. People here play cricket just to get national certificates to get government jobs in sports quota by playing U17, U19, and university cricket.
panther Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 in pak they have speed camps in order to find fast bowlers couple years back Mohammad talha won he clocked 88mph sohail khan came second with 85
rkt.india Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 80 mph is very fast. 80 mph is very slow, not fast.
nikred Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I usually bowl around speeds of 80-85mph. The highest I ever reached is 89mph.
Trichromatic Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 80 mph is very slow' date=' not fast.[/quote'] At international level.

Seriously I have played with and against some of the brightest talents in english cricket at 16,17 and they clock between 75-80 and are absolute wheels. People have no idea about speed unless they actually play the game to a decent standard. In your club you have every bowler above 75 MPH yet the India national team usually has 2 bowlers in the 75-80 mph range, you have no idea what you are talking about. Im sure if I came to your club and bowled you would say i was in the 80's but im nowhere near.
punjabi_khota Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 80 mph is very slow' date=' not fast.[/quote'] bhai pagla gaye ho ? I faced 80mph on a batting machine (baseball) once, and left with my pants wet. Couldn't touch a single ball.
Trichromatic Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 bhai pagla gaye ho ? I faced 80mph on a batting machine (baseball) once, and left with my pants wet. Couldn't touch a single ball. During school days (at the age of 15-16), I played against few bowlers who could bowl around 80 mph. There was a 27-28 year old left arm seamer who used to bowl full length deliveries at us and we always struggled to do anything. Only one of my friend who was best batsman among us, could survive his bowling. International players make 80 mph bowling look like nothing.
Number Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I usually bowl around speeds of 80-85kmph. The highest I ever reached is 89kmph. :winky:
vvvslaxman Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 97 mph. But i don't like playing international cricket :--D
nikred Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 :winky: My bowling action is a combination of Hadlee and Marshall. :hatsoff:
maniac Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 97 mph. But i don't like playing international cricket :--D Have you considered IPL....$$$,parties etc etcB-> Or being the peace ambassador to Pak....they would just love you there for your beastly skills:winky:
maniac Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 My bowling has variations inspired by Afridi's quicker one,Ajmal's doosra and Vinay Kumar's slower ball
The Outsider Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Around 125 kmph (78 mph) are probably the quickest bowling speeds, one can expect to encounter at club level. Most of the quick club level bowlers are around the 120 kmph (75 mph) mark. LOL @ people claiming to just walk up and be able to bowl 130-134 kmph.
