Also they flashed up a ball from Southee on the screen yesterday that was 144.something, which is basically 90mph right?
I've seen him hit 96mph before so I know it is definitely possible. Even if the rest of his balls were only 147-149ish which is still bloody quick.I feel like it's possible the Riaz reading was wrong, but he's just quick enough for it to be believable.
what was his average? I remember he was hitting the high 140s regularly.Which, given the 4, still counts as 140s.
Sure...although it's his absolute maximum (as it is for anyone who isn't one of the all-time elite fast bowlers).Wahab is very much capable of bowling that quick.
Yeah, almost 100% positive that that Wahab ball was a misread. Hasn't gotten near that kind of pace before or since.That Riaz reading was anomalous ftr, the statisticians said that every other ball he bowled was 140s at best.
On current form I'm surprised Finn got up that quick, but Woakes is very consistent with his pace in the high 80s.There are some surprising stats...Broad at 93.4, Woakes 90.5...i would imagine a misread, but Dilshan 79.7, Dockrell 78.4...the last 2 are still mph rather than kph
Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?2 Indians on the list. Never thought I'd see the day :')
Geez Dilshan and Dockrell bowling faster that Bhuvi fmdThere are some surprising stats...Broad at 93.4, Woakes 90.5...i would imagine a misread, but Dilshan 79.7, Dockrell 78.4...the last 2 are still mph rather than kph

Corey Anderson is @ 89.4 and he has hit it in two separate games, quite comparable to Tim Southee @ 89.6. Pretty quick really
94.9*1.609344= 152.7267456 so it is the same.According to the fastest deliveries stats put up on the screen, Milne bowled one at 152.7kph against Afghanistan. That's over 95mph.
I didn't find all these speeds but I did just check a couple of scorecards on cricinfo. I just went in Hawkeye and scrolled across to bowling speeds. They have fastest ball and average speed there easy to see.Hey Jimbo, for those of us who are not too computer literate can you please advise how you are getting these stats?
