Is Stuart Broad a trundler?

[indiaregulator]

I'm really confused. I always thought he was a trundler, given he was bowling at 125-130kmph during the entire SA tour of England and also in Dubai. I just thought he was a very accurate bowler but not a fast bowler. Now, in the game vs West Indies, his first over averaged around 144kmph. WTF?

[indiaregulator]

Now his second over is 90.1MPH and 79.4MPH... Speedclock wrong?

So err, Finn is the fastest bowler in the world?! Thats ridiculous, no way can that be accurate.

he just took a wicket

Sharma bowled around 80 mph in SA and was around 85-87 against WI at home. Gul does same. Sometimes bowls around 80 mph in tests and 87 mph in limited over cricket. That's why they are fast medium bowler and not fast.

Why is it ridiculous?

[maverick451]

Broad is a fast bowler but for some reason his pace was well down during the SA series, possibly carrying a knock or just a bit burnt out.

What? :blink:

What?

All the world's best test bowlers are at this tournament, bar Anderson who isn't that fast anyway. That means that on bowling averages alone, Finn is probably the fastest bowler in the world. This means that the state of fast bowling is utterly crap.

Basically, according to the link on post 2, Finn is the fastest bowler in the world, on average. This basically also means that fast bowling is a bit crap right now.

Basically this thread should be closed or merged with some other thread.

A lot of conspiracy theories on ICF these days. :headshake:

Only Indian bowlers can be trundlers. Stuart Broad is not

There was a time when Sami was the fastest bowler in the world. At that time, Wasim, McGrath, Srinath were also playing. So what was the state of fast bowling

Glory belongs to L Balaji. Only Indian bowlers can be trundlers. Stuart Broad is not

This.

Lot of the times for a classical bowler, it depends on the rythem of a fast bowler ...Bowlers such as S.Broad, I.Sharma, Sreesanth need to be in rythem(means good run up good momentum, good landing) to bowl fast.. Bowlers that use strength or are bit unonthodox can bowl 140+ even on a off day... On a side note, noone can doubt the pace of S.Finn.. The guy bowls fast ... Only guy who troubled us with pure pace in Englands last tour of Indai(ODI tour)
