Malcolm Merlyn Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Q4NST8PVMJo This is 150k bowler :hysterical: at his peak, more like 135k Final warning to you,stop derailing the thread and stop trolling.
panther Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Do you have a video of Waqar bowling at 153ks? Do you even have a newspaper article from a neutral source saying Zahid was 150ks?I dont count PP as neutral. I have posted 2 articles by non indians saying Srinath bowled at 156ks.Now go troll some where else. Check video above for 150k, I don't have 153k vid but you guys have absolutely nothing close to 150k let alone 156k for javagal srinath.

Heck there is no neutral atricle saying Zahid was 150k.Ofcourse there are articles saying Waqar was 153ks in England. Similarly there are articles here saying Srinath was 156ks. Now either prove those articles by esteemed authors to be false or stop your trolling.Those articles are by well known people while you are a Anonymous guuy with No credibility. Chalo ab niklo.

panther Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 No Indian can bring me proof of srinath 156k ball, but I can show you proof of waqar at his peak or maybe after not sure exactly, look at the speed guns reading at 52.10. Cab9GBSxZn4 :--D there video evidence
express bowling Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Umesh Yadav was frighteningly quick today on a green top. Consistently bowling 147 k and 148 k. The ball was flying to the keeper.

Rocky Balboa Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Pakistanis are just jelaous dat india s got some good pacer bowlers. Faster than their's. Its like ur wife s eloped with ur worst enemy....:haha:
vishalvirsingh Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 My first Test Match that I saw At the ground was Between Africa and India in which Allan Donald, left Arm pace bowler lance Klusener and Srinath n Prasad Played- Azzur was the captain. At wankhade at 11 AM, 2:30 afternoon and 4 Pm eve , I saw srinath And even Donald bowling later..... I can touch my heart and say that Srinath and Allan Donald Both were Frightening Quick....Srinath bowled inswingers mostly where as Donald bowled everywhere and both of these guys were Bowling a lot of bouncers.....I shud admit that Lance Klusner Also bowled preTty fast and probably as fast as srinath and donald To naked eye( to me) Srinath used to field at Long Off and hardly 10 metres To where I Stood, I am 6 ft and I looked like a Kid in front of Him. I screemed my lungs out for almost 30 minutes shouting from Boundary hi srinath how r u etc....and that Tall fellow Did not turn to see me even Once.....he used to stand with his hands On his hips..relaxing at boundary..... Also saw the Great Venky bowling- he looked to me slightly Faster than Anil Kumble.....but I think he was a very Clever bowler as I believe the Pace at which he bowled in That match( one I saw) ...-No bowler can make an INTERNATIONAL career bowling at that Pace...I think he bowled At Praveen Kumar"s Pace.
vishalvirsingh Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 I missed watching Umesh yesterday But glad that he touched 148K Was 148K his fastest or what was his fastest Speed.
rkt.india Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 bwjGk3fmMtc[/youtube :giggle: not even close to 150k :WTF: didn't you see how SA batsmen were being hurried on pull and hook on Srinath's bowling. There is another video of him of 1996 England tour. There were no speed guns but it was quick a bowling as you would see from any genuine fast bowler ever. Look at this if it was not as quick any bowler has bowled. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkqMUixOKo8]Javagal Srinath's fiery spell of bowling - YouTube[/ame]
rkt.india Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Srinath was Faster than Waqar :hysterical::hysterical: Srinath was a genuinely fast bowler and in the period between about 1995 and March 1997 Srinath's pace was at times frightening. He was right up there with the fastest men in the game. Perhaps at times Srinath was even No 1 in the pace stakes but just how fast he was at his peak we will never know. What we do know is that following South Africa's tour of India late in 1996, India travelled to South Africa where speed guns were in operation. Between December '96 and February '97 Srinath's speeds were timed in excess of 150kph and were comparable to those of both Allan Donald and South Africa's 'new' pace sensation Lance Klusener. Whilst Klusener's fastest ball came in at 154kph and he proved at the time to be faster than Donald, it has been brought to my attention on numerous occasions that Srinath pipped them both with one particular delivery measured at 156kph. This particular delivery was reported by a major Indian News service although the exact date and the match in question has not been confirmed. Some six years on, and all three of these men now struggle to reach 140kph on a good day. In March 1997, when Srinath should have been at the peak of his powers, the rotator cuff problem which he had been carrying since September '96 flared and shoulder surgery became inevitable. Some questioned whether Srinath would ever bowl again, let alone rank along side the quickest men in the game. In 1998, Australia toured India and for the first time on Indian soil the speed guns were to be a fixture. The Indian press chose to give the speed battle between Glenn McGrath and Srinath top billing but most so-called 'experts' at the time found this to be bordering on the insane. After all, Glenn McGrath was up there with Donald as the world's fastest bowlers, and that Srinath was never anything more than a 'military medium' bowler, right? Wrong. In their first encounter with the new speed guns, Srinath clocked 148kph while McGrath, although the fastest of the rest, was a whopping seven kph behind Srinath at 141kph. At the time, many people found these figures inconceivable and chose to dismiss them in error, but with the advantage of hindsight, we understand these speeds to be correct. Later on in that series, Srinath bowled a fastest ball of 149.6kph and was not far from his top pace before the shoulder operation. Bowling speeds also received huge publicity in the lead-up to the 1999 World Cup when all eyes were on Shoaib Akhtar. The question was not 'who was the fastest' but 'who could come close to the Rawlpindi Express'? Not much was known about bowling speeds at the time and some still rated McGrath and Donald fast enough to challenge Shoaib. At the tournament's first match Srinath and McGrath went head to head once more. This time it was evident for all the world to see that Javagal Srinath was no medium pacer, but was a genuine speedster clocking up 149.6kph once again and bettering McGrath's best speed by some 9kph. Srinath proved to be the second fastest bowler of the tournament next to Shoaib (154.5kph) while surprise pacemen Geoff Allott of New Zealand (146.5kph) and Jacques Kallis (146.4kph) left the pace of McGrath and Donald looking decidedly bland. Javagal Srinath could now lay claim to being the second fastest bowler in the world. http://www.espncricinfo.com/wctimeline/content/story/111878.html
rkt.india Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I dont think we still have a bowler who was as quick as Srinath at his peak, not even Yadav, Aaron, or Ishant are as quick as Srinath of 95-97, his best years before that rotator cuff injury which lead to his loss of pace.

He had his bowling arm a bit more closer to his right shoulder, like Steyn does and those 2-3 ball came quicker than normal and with away swing.
