Lol.

All pakistani bowlers clocked higher speeds in both the asia cup game , the worldcup game in 2015 and the worldt20 than their indian counterparts.

In test matches pakistan play sohail who is a clever bowler and along with amir  who if he wants to can bowl 5 -6 ks quicker than any bowler in India form a formidable attack that wins pakistan test matches.

Amir is almost always around 90 mph in LOIs . That is quicker than the likes of shami and ishanth .

Rewatch his 2nd over .

Speeds of 93 , 95 , 96 mph

Amir does not clock 90 in odi consistently he is slower than most Indian odi bowlers Ishant shami yadav Aaron. .soon there would be couple more..wahab is on par but slower than Aus bowlers.

True...Starc is quicker.   But Hazlewood and Hastings are fast-medium and ....Boland and Faulkner are medium-fast.

Alright excluding indians, these are the bowlers that of similar pace to him.

Rabada

Wood 

Starc

Morris

Milne

Morkel

Cummins (when fit)

Pattinson (when fit)

Gabriel

And maybe Steyn when he goes flat out

 

You can add Ishant and Umesh as they have also clocked 150 + kmph at times to this list.

Perhaps they are but whenerver these guys have been in the opposition teams he has always come out as the faster bowler recently .

He is usually the quickest in tournaments as well .

 

Although world cricket has not seen an express bowler in the last 5 years or so .

Apart from starc and wahab no one has bowled a delivery above 155 kph .

World cricket was blessed to have akhtar and lee playing at the same time .

We havent seen spells of 152kph plus bowling like akhtar vs newzealand , lee vs srilanka or tait vs pakistan in a long long time.

Starc has bowled 160.4 kph before. His average bowling speed was consistently around 142-145 kph the entire series vs Lanka.

 

I would say he is the fastest. 

And Starc is humble and sweet off field and extremely different when bowling. A different Aussie.

Definitely. I also get the same from Warner, he is obnoxious on the field but pretty good with the fans off it. He's always interacting with children during the IPL, which gives him points in my book.

Admit it.

He is bowling 151 kph plus in UAE heat .

He really has pit on some pace of late.

 

Shami bowled  151 k  yesterday, in a test match , playing in humid conditions.

 

He was bowling 142 k to 144 k  deliveries at will even in the last spell of the day while maintaining good accuracy.
