you don't have to buy it if you don't want to. there is evidence to the contrary. he was faster than shami and ishant, and on par with umesh in early-mid 90s. I would not say he was faster than peak aaron and umran because I think aaron was slightly faster than umesh.

 

it's not about nostalgia tinted glasses as well. plenty of your "claims" in this post are specious - (a) that I/we don't appreciate current gen enough; (b) agarkar being faster than srinath, (c) no past ind bowler is close to their avg speed.

 

I won't be debating this with you further. this kind of "argument" can never be refuted because you have very clear preconceived notions. to be fair, so do I, and they are incompatible with yours.


fair enough let’s agree to disagree :nice:

 

Also Great unplayable spells are always not express. Srinath was under appreciated at that time by world commentators but I feel we compensate that by overrating him.

 

Just like with Waqar Younis who is a different case but I feel both Waqar and Srinath became world class allround bowlers only at the end of their careers. They last 2-3 yrs when they figured it out. That’s my takeaway from watching all of their careers give or take except May be the first 2 yrs of Waqar.

@rkt.india
 You posted a video of Mavi bowling in 150s recently clocked in handgun

And it looked as if an achievement for the whole gang there

 

It was good to see him really valuing pace ,what has happened here

He didn't look even remotely close to 140s today

Has he decided to trundle forever?

uncle booba, uncle harshal, uncle undercutter, uncle shardul, and uncle deepak showing mavi the true path. the One truth path of the trundler

anyway, interesting match overall. some very poor bowling (axar, harshal, chahal) and some good bowling (umran, hardik) and some mixed (mavi).

 

great day for pace though. umran hitting 155. since the speed guns are reliable (although how harshal hit 140 is quite puzzling), this is the fastest than an indian has bowled in an international match. and umran's road is just beginning.

Pretty sure I saw a 152 from him then in the Odi series

 

Ishant bowled 152.x kph on our 2011-12 tour to Australia.  

 

In 2008, I think his fastest was around 148 k, still pretty impressive for a 19 year old.

Harshal has bowled over 140 in t20s multiple times before

He bowled 152.6 in the CB series in 2008

Also bowled 152 in 2011 but we were getting spanked around so much that series I probably missed it.
