Sami's speed was no joke. The guy was pacy for most part of his career. 

Sami was pacy but not as quick as Akhtar.

As usual your Indian jeans are making you believe you are always one step ahead.

Genes you mean I guess lol. Pakistani upbringing makes you spell it wrong and dinegerate  genetics while being of the same pool.

Umesh Yadav top wickets compilation. Pace, bounce and movement continuously visible.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the video bro. That ball to Guptill was the perfect outswinger. Pitching middle and then hitting the top of off stump. 

This video doesn't have the ball that Umesh bowled to Warner in some IPL match. That is my probably my favorite wicket of Umesh. That ball pitched on the leg stump and seamed away to hit the off stump. That was an unplayable delivery. Like a really fast off spinner lol. I will try and find that video.

@express bowling @Rightarmfast You might have seen this but check out this guys youtube channel. Dude has a lot of rare cricket videos from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's.

Watch Warner's wicket. Quick ball at 146.7K's seams away to hit Warner's off stump. Warner was clueless there.

Fastest balls by Indians in international cricket ( as officially recorded )

 

This one only mentions the speeds registered from the 1999 WC, from which time speed-guns were regularly used in matches and shown on TV

This one includes the 157 k touched by Srinath in 1996/97

 

 

http://abcnewsgo.net/video/yJ7B_QnX1ots

 

 

They left out the 151.1 kph  / 93.9 mph bowled by Shami in 2016 against NZ in the 2nd  test match.

( check " Bowl speeds "  2nd innings )

 

 

Fastest balls officially recorded for Indians in international matches

 

Srinath    157.0 k      /      154 .5 k  1999 WC onward

Aaron      152.6 k

Ishant     152.5 k

Umesh    152.2 k

Shami     151.1 k

Nehra     149.7 k

Sreesanth 149.x k

Bumrah  148.1 k

( hawk-eye / bowl speeds  )

 

 

RP Singh has also clocked around 148 k,  Zaheer and Agarkar 147 k, Munaf  145 k

 

 

 

Wow!!! Nice work express ji, srinath 157kph I have no doubt about it , even in 2003 WC he clocked 144kph.

Except for shamis and srinaths fastest ball I have seen all of those fastest ball mentioned.

[MK55]

Watching Bumrah bowl quick in CT was one of the highlights for me. His yorkers and slower ones would become even more effective. Also with that kind of pace, he can get batsmen out by extra bounce when the odd ball kicks off.

Was consistently bowling 145+ in at least one spell of each match that he played. There has been a definite increase in pace this year and it started from the later part of this years's IPL.

oh needs some hunting dont think cricinfo would have speeds, may be some personal video collections..one never knows..

No, I don't think you will find it because I watched the match live and the commentators said that the certain delivery was at 150 kph. I don't think they were even showing the speeds.

But I remember very clearly hearing the commentator, David Gower it was I think.

 

I also remember very vividly hearing Graeme Pollock's astonishment when he read Javagal Srinath termed as ' Fast Medium'. His immediate response was - ' I have seen Srinath bowl and he certainly is much more than 'fast medium'. This was India's first match in 99WC against SA. And in the next match against England, David Gower commented about Prasad that Prasad was a great swing bowler who bowled at medium pace, unlike his bowling partner javagal Srinath who bowled at express pace.

Need for speed Sami!

Ok Shaz, when you posted, I really thought you were just joking about that 164kph and pulling legs of Indian bowlers, ie till I read your comments. I have this video many a times and everybody knows that this was speedgun error. I think even during the match the commentators clarified about it

Speed guns used in that 2004 Samsung series was flawed, I have seen balaji clocking 162kph in it , lol.

What I really liked about Bumrah was that, he was still able to maintain his superb accuracy while bowling 144 k to 148 k spells with bounce.

 

This is not easy and this is one of the reasons why I want to see how he does in tests.

 

Pinpoint accuracy with high pace and bounce is a killer combo and very very rare.

Sadly, apart from Aaron, all our other fast bowlers who clocked 150+,  Srinath, Umesh, Shami and Ishant..... are still termned " fast-medium" by espncricinfo, cricbuzz and most broadcasters.

 

Bumrah, bowling upto  148 k,  is termed as " medium "  by  espncricinfo and cricbuzz.

 

Pacers of no other country are treated this way.

Its really baffling! For other countries, even the medium pacers are termed 'fast' which is sort of laughable!
