Speeds and Performances of Pacers and Spinners

[Nikhil_cric]

Shaheen was the fastest of the Pakistan pacers amd was consistently bowling high 130's, early 140's and maxing out at 146 kph. Considering his constant workload across formats, that's impressive. Hasan around 132-137 kph consistently.

Shaheen is impressive but it is west Indies though.

The bolded part is true.  Apart from Harmison and for a few years Flintoff, England did not have a single quick bowler between 1983 and Wood's emergence.

 

It is also true that Wood is rested a lot. If he had Cummins' or Bumrah's workload, he would be bowling 5 kph slower.

 

But as it stands, Cummins and Rabada don't really crank it up beyond 90 mph on a day to day basis in test matches, probably to increase their longevity. We may see the odd really quick spell on an inspired day.

 

Devon Malcolm who played in early 90s was supposedly really quick..

Wood is probably the only out and out fast bowler in world cricket now, that is someone who can atleast touch 150 k in every test match he plays.

But what happened to West Indies fast bowling factory though? 

 

Why none can sustain 140 plus in tests anymore. Is it more due to other teams catching up to them post 90s or them just falling behind in terms of talent production.

People have given up cricket there and moved on to other sports.

 

Plus they did not invest in infrastructure development.

Shannon Gabriel is quick but I guess he is injured.

Who were bowling 140+ consistently for them even before? WI didn't have many consistent 140+ bowlers since the speed guns arrived apart from edwards, tino best and Roach in his early years. Gabriel does now.

Mervin Dillon , Cameron Cuffy, Darren Powell, Jermaine Lawson - all were quick, but not as consistent

Cuffy and Dillon hardly touched 140, 135ish. Lawson was chucker. Powell did touch 140 but wasn't that good a bowler
