True. Nobody has clocked 155 from India before surely.

Have seen Ishant do it in Australia in 2012. 154 at least. I remember him bowling faster than Starc, Jhonson, Umesh in that series. Results are a different matter.

Mavi is the new Harshal.

 

Bowling slower balls basically, with odd balls in the early 130s.

srinath may have done so, albeit on faulty speed guns

underrated champ. if he had better fielding + pace support, and a better temperament, he would have been great.

How quick was that yorker?  @express bowling....  Looked like a thunderbolt...  Faster than that 155kph

no, ishant went up to 152. srinath (see my previous post on the thread) may have exceeded 155

it was 149, I thought.

[Forward Defence]

Ok I'm prepared to give Mavi a break after all this wicket taking. But an honest analysis will surely reveal that this is a heavily watered down version of what he could have been.

That yorker by Umran looked like near 160 k.

 

But clocked 148.5 kph

Mavi too but chooses to stay meek and coward ,very sincerely following his seniors

That Mavi is long gone, this version 2.0 is a rank trundler.

Was it in Sa?. Speed measurements weren't official then I think

Srinath one was in 1999 wc I think. Also on a consistent speed in a game I would still say Ishant and Umesh are our fastest of all time with a significant sample size. Aaron is a close 3rd. Umran will beat all of them in a couple of months when he gets more game time.

 

Bumrah maybe more consistent than them but his peak speeds would be lower than the other 3 on consistency.

it was not 1999 WC - I posted the links earlier (its from 96 SA tour). and peak srinath's avg speed was arguably more than ishant, umesh at their peak.

No in 2007-08. In the Odi series after his Perth heroics against Ponting

[singhvivek141]

[Forward Defence]

What the hell is Harshal doing?

Aaron is #1. His average pace was faster than Johnson and Umesh in 2015.

Umran is the fastest bowler we’ve got by a mile. His peak speed potential is unmatched. He can bowl plus 90mph average easy. No one has come close to that level. And that includes Umesh and Aaron. Aaron probably in some spells.
