King Tendulkar Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I think its a myth that bowlers were fast in past etc. These older players seem to get quicker with each story. The fact is we have no speed guns for past bowlers, so its all a myth. Just like how much better the batting was in 30s etc etc Thanks god the stop watch was invented, as some would still be saying Jessie Owens was the fastest man ever.
express bowling Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Regarding the video, we must remember that it was WACA ,Perth, the fastest and bounciest pitch in the world, in the seventies, when the pitch was kept uncovered. In Perth, even medium pacers look quick. Further, Lilee was considered fast then and not fast-medium.

Only England played on some uncovered pitches till the early 70s. Remaining countries mainly had covered pitches since the 40s-50s. This is after Lillee's back operation, so he was not fast then but fast-medium.

vayuu1 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 four fastest bowlers for me are frank tyson, roy gilchrist,charles kortright and jeff thompson ,since they are the only four bowlers in history to hit sight screen with the ball after it bounced once on the pitch.

panther Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Like Imran Khan said if we invest in NWFP province you will see 160k bowlers.
panther Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 How fast do you think irfan can bowl with a front foot block and more use of his non bowling arm, he has already added 20k in terms of max speed, with a few more changes I think he can add 10k more.
The Outsider Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Like Imran Khan said if we invest in NWFP province you will see 160k bowlers. Imran also said Inzi is the bessht player of phhasht boiiling, Sami is like Marshall, and terrorissshts don't attack kirkutters.

Cricket Tragic Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 at the time inzi was. Sami another destroyed talent of inzamam. 3) when did he say that? Several times. Basically every time that a team refused to tour Pakistan. Terrorists 'wouldn't dare hurt cricketers', says Imran Khan Source: http://www.defence.pk/forums/social-issues-current-events/15126-terrorists-wouldnt-dare-hurt-cricketers-says-imran-khan.html#ixzz2H7wf0OXz PAKISTANI cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan said yesterday the Australian cricket team would have been safe from terrorist attacks if it had gone to Pakistan, as terrorists knew that such an attack would have lost them public sympathy. More than 1300 people have been killed this year in a string of bombings by insurgents, including last month's destruction of the Marriott hotel in Islamabad, which killed 60, and Thursday's attack on the heavily fortified headquarters of the anti-terrorist squad in the same city. The Lion of Lahore, who was on the Gold Coast yesterday as the plenary speaker for the National Radio Conference, said Cricket Australia's reluctance on security grounds to send the team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, which was partly responsible for the tournament being indefinitely postponed, while allowing a tour of India to go ahead, caused great resentment in the country. In an interview with The Weekend Australian after his wide-ranging address to the conference, Mr Khan, who captained the Pakistan cricket team from 1982 to 1992, said that although he could understand Cricket Australia's position, the players would not have been in any danger in Pakistan. "Personally I would not worry about these things," Mr Khan said. "But I can imagine other people worrying about them. It hasn't helped when you're sitting outside and you have news coming in of the Marriott being bombed, although the tour was cancelled before the Marriott." South Africa was the main agitator behind the postponement of the Champions Trophy. "I never thought that cricketers were going to ever be threatened at all, simply because cricket is such a passion in the country that terrorists would never dare to do it because they would not want the people to turn against them," Mr Khan said. "They rely on public sympathy, which they have right now because the American war on terror, amongst the masses, is seen to be a war against Islam. So they have their sympathy."
