Hey guys
wow its been a while since I last visited this site and its bringing back a lot of memories.Probably last I was here was back during the 2015 wc debating with indian posters over who was faster, wahab or umesh? and then the watto spell happened.
bit of a rant but bear with me.I have not followed cricket post that wc with the same zeal for a number of reasons apart from following pak cricket and watching most matches live since highlights still suck in cricket and never relay the actual story of the match.
Coming back to what was being discussed here my take on the matter is that currently the indian pace trio is more accomplished(yes it hurts) skills wise but with cricket finally returning back home(good riddance the dubai pitch) plus the PSL developing into probably the second biggest league after the IPL its only gonna be a couple of years before the Pak fast bowlers > Indian fast(Yes this time for real) bowlers equation is true again with the talent we have coming up.
On the pace Q bowlers that I can think of rn that can bowl 145+ are
Wahab,Haris,Naseem,Hasnain,Shaheen,Musa,Sameen and Hassan.
Dilbar might I add with a 6 step run up,Salman Irshad and Aqif also get added to the list. Also if one were to believe Aqib Javed's claims since Qalandars have the best talent hunt/player dev programme in the PSL there might be a couple of others in the line as well.(Considering I've seen a time where Anwar Ali was opening with the new ball this is amazing)
Finally coming to my query from the Indian posters here I've followed the Indian pacers rise till like 2016 but post that apart from the IPL and u19 ones that im looking up(Saini looks good and incidently the reason I discovered this thread ) could you tell me about the upcoming 145 kph pacers coming up in the Indian domestic circuit like Ranji or even some new talent spotted.
PS Let me end with this, even today with Wahab (156) and Hasnain(155) or avg speed wise Naseem are faster than the fastest indian bowlers on show.
