i have read reports of Srinath bowling a 157 kmph delivery in South Africa in 96/97,but the fastest i've seen is Aaron 153.1 or something in this series.Ishant clocked 151 in 2008 in Australia i believe Yadav clocked 152.5 in Australia in 2011/12

Aaron recently

Srinath 157? Really? Aaron bowled 153.2 in the first ODI.. that's the fastest that I remember

Srinath was supposed to bowl 156 in SA in 1996. He was as quick as any England tour 1996.

Srinath was really quick i have heard.

You can still see his spells in England in 1996 on youtube.

Look at this delivery form Srinath. It was like BK's swing but at least 10-15K quicker. Wg9fjMh9pag

Srinath's 150 is a myth Ishant was the first Indian bowler to cross the 150k barrier. Ishant bowled 152.9 twice in Australia and Umesh has bowled 152.5 a few times in India and Australia Isn't Aaron's fastest 152.2 in that match ? Also bowled a few 152+ in New Zealand

It is not a myth. There is a cricinfo article about that. Here it is. http://www.espncricinfo.com/wctimeline/content/story/111878.html

Proves nothing the author says it was brought to his attention that Srinath has bowled one at 156 and he dont even know which match it was. It is as much true as Pakistanis saying that some unknown domestic bowler(forgot the name) bowled the fastest delivery breaking Akthar's record

Srinath was one of the quickest bowler in the world at one point of time...along with donald..

There is one more article with direct quote from a Zim player who was playing in that match. Will try to find that.

Ishant 154km/h last aus tour us the fastest recorded at Mcg . Aaron will easily break it.
