Feel the organizers need to ensure those speed guns are reliable and statisticians need to weed out entries which don't appear genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....but I remember one IPL season when he bowled a couple of 140 k to 150 k spells. ( Just like Nehra bowled 140 k to 150 k in the 2003 WC but was a 135 k to 143 k pacer in his quicker years ) CricketBuffOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His quickest spells were 138-142, occasionally touching 143-144. You probably are mixing him with Rahul Shukla.

He never bowled in the high 140 s. Awana actually did bowl in the high 140s in a couple of matches only ( that was never his normal speed though ). You either missed those matches or have forgotten about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen all those matches of his first season when he bowled quick. 143-144 were his fastest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi B Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hopefully aaron and Morris touch 150 this season,they have come close with 149k.even morkel can crank it up to 150+ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awana was bowling real quick in that 2013 season(was it?) Especially in the mohali matches.while 150k might be a glitch but he did crank 146-147 k that season.veer pratap is surely a speed gun error express bowling and CricketBuffOne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone bowling some 145 k to 148 k deliveries can bowl an one off 151 k...which was perhaps not shown on TV. As far as I remember....in the spell Starc touched 160 k....his second fastest was 154 k.....an one off quicker delivery is not entirely impossible.

With a little effort all three can cross 150+. Morris has been the fastest this season and the only one to clock above 149 Ks, closely followed by Milne, Shami, McClenaghan, Aaron & Morkel, all of whom have clocked above 148 Ks.
