Most pacers bowl some spells which are quicker than usual. 

 

Shami was bowling 147 k / 148 k in the IPL.final.  I have seen Peter Siddle clock 150 +. 

 

We have to consider usually speeds. 

Peter siddle, hilfenhaus were genuine quick bowlers in around 2009-2012 period, both were bowling faster than Johnson in 2009-10 ashes in eng. To think they had nannes, Harris, lee, Tait during that period, that's some serious dept, a few years later starch, pattinson, Cummins all debuted. 2011 period after the world cup saw the Aussie quicks, Umesh, Varun, Junaid khan, Finn, boult, de langa all debut about the same time.

Add dirk nannes to that LA angle steep bounce and speeds

He found the length from where a batter can neither drive nor cut, they were caught in 2 minds and just poked at the balls and he had decent bounce and movement to carry edges to the wk.

 

 

McGrath would've had much worse numbers in ODI's these days & definitely higher economy in tests as well, though he'd like pickup more wickets especially against the likes of Pak or SL.

Yes batters have more shots now and are able to move in the crease and are able to pre-emptive bowlers better.

 

What McGrath had back then Rasid Khan(Afgn.) has right now, the batter are not able go forward or go back- this could be some tangential comparison in current era.

McGrath used to have a cracking offcutter much like siraj, Gillespie didn't get that type of nip off the pitch.

McGrath used mainly cutters

What happened to Oshane Thomas? Remember him bowling some quick spells against India.

Was never able to sustain same pace into 2nd spell and shed that extra weight. Was selected directly from nets on Gayle's recommendations-Not sure had enough games in domestic circuits.

 

Was playing CPL and SPL but, no way near same pace.  They have A.Joseph - pedigreed bowler coming from age groups able to build up some pace ~142 kmph
