most notable would b e freddie flintoff....i saw a game where he bowled around 125 K and later we all know he clocked over 140 k
Yup. The best Egs. I have seen him 95 m/hr consistently in one spell. At his best, he was the best.

Can we have a list of bowlers who have done this. Most of the Pak bowlers fall under this. Mo Irafn was more like 125 k when he started. Now he is clocking around 145k. Even Imran was not that express when he started out. He gained pace as the years went by. Most of the aussies i know came in as express and continued as express may be 5 or 6 k quicker.
mo irfan bowled 140+ consistently in the odi series in england 2010,it was just that his length was terrible,either too short or too full.. bhuvi(now bowls 3-4 Kmph quicker),rp singh (bowled 125-132 in zimbabwe 2005 then at his peak he clocked 85 mph regularly),mitchell johnson,tino best(bowled close to 140 in 2005,now he can bowl close to 150 kmph),umar gul

Flintoff looked quick towards the end of his career. Srinath debatable because he was real quick before the shoulder surgery,out paced Donald in the 96 tour iirc....then slowed down but again towards the end of his career 99-01 was real quick again

Chris cairns.
What are you talking about.....Cairns was a tundler towards the end of his career,he was more of a batsmen who could bowl at the end,but he was quick at the start of his career.

We can always count on you to pick a couple of the fastest spells of a Pak pacer and pass it as his usual. :two_thumbs_up:
Yh picking his only 2 spells before his comeback in the winter of 2012.

Irfan in his debut series was bowling 125-130k and he was dropped after that because of lack of pace and only when he increased his pace and worked on his fitness, he made his come back.
