That is the normal Shami Ahmed speed. So the speed gun is correct after all. :winky:
Yesterday was not working first chawla at 139k then vinay at 147k.

Shukla consistently in the mid 140s.He was coming back from an injury last season so was low on pace.I said he was quick & as quick as Aaron.Now he has proved me right.

Can someone post Shukla's speed? He seems to be bowling in 140s.
Well over 140 actually,142-144 most of the time with some balls around 145 with fastest being 146.8kph which got him a wicket.

Good pick Shebby. Not only is he quick, he is bowling well too.:two_thumbs_up:

At least IPL is throwing up some fast bowlers who can actually bowl fast. I've had enough of trundlers like Koomars & Dinda who can neither bowl quick nor be consistent in their line & length.

Meh. I'm as excited as the next person but I've seen Dinda bowl the odd spell at this speed. Dinda is excellent when he bowls over 140kph though so I guess what needs to be seen is whether this guy can sustain pace.

Key is that Dinda & Koomars bowl an "odd" ball at 140 and when they do they lose control. When needed to bring their A game at the death they are cannon fodder to a half decent batsman. It's time to move on and hopefully go with youngsters.

No he can't.He can bowl 140+ in T20s,first spell in the ODIs but not in the longer spells.He'll be 134-138 in FC & test matches with odd 1 or 2 balls over 140.

It is amazing. Here is a 22 year old new Indian fast bowler taking wickets at 146 k, Doull and co. gaga over his current spell ; Manju and Bhogle come and not a mention of Shukla even ! :omg:

And he seems to have the body for it. In theory it's not impossible. Anyway, very early days yet. He's just bowled 2 overs so far today.
