cricketindiafan said:
As per cricinfo Hawkeye, Gabriel's fastest was 155.6 kmph. Has to be tbe fastest deliveries of recent times.

On an average speed basis, is Gabriel the fastest bowler of the world?

Yes, I think so.


Shannon bowled 88th over of the innings which was his 45th over and these were his bowling speeds for that over :


1. 90
2. 87
3. 86
4. 93
5. 87
6. 89

mph



May be Starc can match those speeds in coming Tests.
 
I do recall Lockie Ferguson bowled a few 155kph deliveries against Pakistan earlier this year. I remember Sarfaraz swinging his bat once the WK had already collected the ball :))
 
Lockie Ferguson 154.9 kph


Deliveries in excess of 150 kph in today's spell of 10 - 1 - 44 - 2 :


150,

153,

151.1,

150,

154.9,

152,

152.4,

150.


ExpressPace.


Ferguson is line to bowl fastest delivery of 2019 WC provided he stays fit.
 
96.1mph by Archer probably right up there for 2019. Did anyone bowl faster in the World Cup? Don't think so.

And the amazing thing is he’s still bowling almost every delivery in this spell over 92mph, and this is after having bowled 26 overs - that’s what you call an express pacer.

The likes of Shaheen and Hasnain would probably be at 79mph after bowling 26 overs.

Why do some people always have to attack Pakistani fast bowlers without evidence. Shaheen isn't an express pacer, he is more of a conventional left arm pacer. Hasnain is untested and still very young.

Also you have to take into consideration Archer's short run up and relatively low stress action. No other bowler would have been able to bowl a spell like this because of their run ups and actions. I doubt Ferguson or Wood could have done this.

wood is a fodder. wood and Ferguson are going to break down very soon.

joffra is just an exemplary talent.
 
He is a natural athlete. He is an amazing bowler, fielder, and can bat quite well too. You can't get more 3D then that.
 
96mph looks good on tv but absolutely useless in the context of the match when Archer can't waltz through a batting lineup.

The magic of Shoaib Akhtar wasn't just him churning 96-97-98+ mph deliveries but the fact that you knew that his spell meant him tearing through a batting lineup. None better exemplified than against a GOAT batting lineup of Australia in Colombo.

Archer looks good on TV but has never looked remotely close on changing the course of a match single handedly. His spell yesterday was just like Wahab's against Watson. Good but useless.

Erm, you've watched this guy bowl exactly what now... ONE test innings... And decide he's useless.

In this innings he took two wickets, roughed up & beat the best Test batsman in the world- the only bowler i the series to even trouble him so far.

On the strength of this one test innings- in which he looked head & shoulders above the other bowlers in the team btw- you pronounce him a Wahab?

His FC record (judging Test players on ODI stats is why Pakistan is a mess) suggests he takes plenty of decent hauls, more than 4 wickets a game (benchmark for quality bowler) & averages 23. He can play.

Chuck him on the heap because he took 2 wickets? England were crying out for pace in the first test- they couldn't trouble Australia because they had no variety, no weapon, no enforcer or quality spinner scrambling minds & footwork up one end. The attack was one dimensional.

Archers role in this match was to bowl fast & intimidate, great of he gets wickets too (& he did his part with 2 wickets) to assist also the medium seamers at the other end to nag away at batsmen & reap the rewards. Eg play the role his captain needed. He did it. He bowled all day at sustained high pace & hostility (something your her Shoaib never managed btw, always too unfit to bowl fast in his second spell and I watched his whole career).

I saw the debut of a quality fast bowler with a promising career ahead. One I will enjoy.

I don't think you are a very considered or worthwhile judge of Test cricketers, based from your post.
 
Archer was the reason Smith got out, He softened him up, and Woakes took the wicket. With a bowler like Archer, a lot of the time he won't get wickets, but he will cause batsmen to try and target other bowlers, which leads to wickets. But I do think he should have tried to ball a few full deliveries and yorkers, especially to Cummins and Siddle.
 
Archers softening up of the batsmen bowling at 95 mph is under rated. He is the Trump card for England

This is mostly a flat wicket. I remember akhtar being useless and pounded by indian batsmen on flat Pakistani wickets too. What was it, something like 387 for 0?

The changing match spells by akhtar were all on pitches with something in them

Shoaib was past his prime at that time.
He had ability to take pitch out of the equation. Kolkata 99 comes to mind.

Any bowler can get hammered on a given day, I've seen Indian trundlers battered to all parts,
I've yet to see a bowler whose quicker than akhter and I've been watching cricket for over 30 years
 
As for This wicket it's not flat, it's 2 paced with variable bounce, and on a wicket that is 2 paced with variable bounce the short ball can be lethal as some climb and some dont

lol. shoaib ***** on archers face. Shoaib would have flatlined this current Aussie batting lineup.

don't insult shoaib by comparing a fodder like archer to him.

archer is average and he should stick to odis. he is also trundling now btw.

Shoaib did not have a good record against Australia, 31 wickets @ 35.64
 
Can we dedicate next few post to the next fastest bowler in the world that is Hasnain, he seriously has the potential to break shoaib's record, five months of pro experience and he already clocking 155k at 19, just imagine what he will do in next 2/3 years if he didn't get injured.

No you have got that wrong, look at his record.

BTW his record against India is the same.

1999-2001 he was amazing. Even vs india and Aussies.
Australian team overall was just far superior to pakistam. Shoaib individually performed well with limited support. wasim wasn't at his best. waqar was well past his prime.

1999-2001 Shoaibs average was 37 against India and Australia.
 
Where do all these speeds come from ? Is there a site which collects them ?
 
Hasnain looks genuinely 19-20.

And it’s magnificent that he has bowled the fastest since Starc at his peak and is yet to mature physically.

Very exciting prospect for Pakistan.

That was the greatest batting line up in Australia's history. Wasim and Waqar were made to look like ordinary club bowlers by that batting line up, Shoaib was the only Pakistani bowler who was remotely competitive against a line up featuring Slater, Blewitt, Hayden, Langer, Waugh brothers, Ponting, Martyn, Gilchrist. To pick up 31 wickets at 35 against these guys is no small feat especially when you have well past it and poor support bowlers

he got heaps of wickets though. no one else helped as he carried the team single handedly against a GOAT team

But his record in Australia is a major flaw just like his record in England is another major flaw and his record against India is another major flaw.

perhaps so but when you have no support vs thr greatest aussie team of all timr that is expected. Don't forget Pakistan's comical fielding rofl. You telling me he wouldn't be effective if he played in a better team with gun fielders like Australia?

We dont know if mcgrath would have been as good playing alongside average players either.

Some minnow teams have great players too. like Bangladesh with shakib etc. Guys like him would walk into any top team right now.

He played good in the 1998 series I think.

test cricket requires teams to work in packs. One bowler can't carry the entire team's workload. You need to have a good support cast to excel.
