Fastest Ball bowled in 2015 uptil now was by Wahab Riaz . It was bowled against Ind in WC , it was the quickest bowl he bowled in his career it was clocked 154.5kph i.e 96.01mph.

Second fastest bowl bowled in 2015 is 95.5 miles bowled by Adam milne against SA in 2nd Odi , interestingly it was the fastest bowl Adam milne bowled in his entire career.

3rd fastest ball bowled in 2015 is 94.9mph bowled by Patt Cummins in the 2nd Odi against England. What a coincidence again 3rd time that this is the fastest bowl Cummins has bowled in his entire international career .

Let's see who beats 96mph this year.

Fastest bowler on average speed in the world currently is Adam Milne . I hope all these pacers remain fit .
 
I doubt anyone will break Wahab's record this year, except for maybe Wahab himself (though it would be hard to have him juiced up like that again).
 
Has to be Wahab's ball to Dhoni.. Sometimes the ball is fast but you can only tell by looking at the speed gun but in this case the ball hit the bat rather than the other way round. Dhoni was visibly very late on the ball.
 
That was a superb ball by Wahab. Even before checking the speed gun, you knew it was rapid. The ball hit the bat & even the commies before seeing speed gun said wow.

This means Wahab is the fastest bowler in the world right now.

Was this the ball that got Dhoni out - i.e. the one he skyed in the air?

The way the ball hit the bat hard, how late Dhoni was on the ball and the speed with which Dhoni ran to the non-strikers end. Priceless.

The 2015 WC was Wahab's finest moment to get noticed on the World Stage.
 
Wahab and then Milne probably. Aaron hit 150's several times as well.
 
Milne needs to bowl 0.51 miles quicker than his fastest ball this year and entire career while Cummins needs to bowl 1.12 miles quicker than his this year and career's fastest ball .

Both are possible.
 
Milne can break the 100 mph barrier in the next few years, once his body develops further. The guy is ridiculously quick.

Wahab has reached his top speed though, he is seriously quick as well - 95-96 mph is not a joke.

I agree that it is probably the one he bowled to MSD.
 
Milne can probably bowl 100MPH with more fitness and practice. Apart from him, we do not have any genuine quicks.
 
Can't believe people are underrating Starc's pace in the World Cup. Bowled the second fastest ball at 95.5 mph I think and was the fastest in terms of avg. pace throughout the tournament.
 
Starc , Milne , Cummins , Wahab are all fast but still they cant match Shoaib , Lee and Shaun Tait (his speed)
they used to ball over 155 easily on but the current generation is unable to replicate that
and i don't see Milne breaking the 100 mph barrier as he is not fit enough to play for his country consistently without injuries
 
Milne and Cummins(Whatever he has played)even Starc are faster on avg.The fastest ball though belongs to Wahab.
 
The most meaningless number in cricket and I never understood the fascination towards it.
Gimme a B.Kumar anyday above Umesh/Aaron.
Or Gimme a McGrath anyday over Brett Lee.

I know for sure the slowest 'fastest' ball Starc bowled recently was 153.8kph to take the wicket of Bell, in one of the Ashes tests. He probably sent one down in that series quicker, I didn't watch every ball.
 
Cummins and Starc are just as fast as Milne. All three have floaty pace which doesn't hurt the batsmen much unless there is swing. They have relatively weak bouncers for 90 mph+ bowlers.

Moeen is weak against bouncers. Not saying they can't bowl fast bouncers but they aren't as fast as a 90mph+ bouncer should be. All three have skiddy pace and you can tell this by the carry they get compared to Wahab/Johnson, they're not only fast out of the hand but exploit real energy off the pitch. A short pitched delivery at 145k from the latter two is on to the batsman much faster than the former three.

If you see the flowy action of starc it doesn't allow him to skid the ball . With cummins yes little bit but with milne I believe he is very fast even off the wicket . If he balls on WACA which is not a chance now I believe if keeper misses his 155kph bouncer it will go for six byes.
 
Guess : Who will ball Fastest ball in upcoming domestic T20 tournament ?

This thread is bad in a way because it has no international perspective . But in pakistan we are really obsessed with pace after seeing imran , wasim , waqar , shoaib , zahid , sami ...

Dear Pp fellows I believe the speed gun is atleast 5kph slower when it works correctly . Also sometimes a bowler bowls a seam up delivery and it seems it is 125 130kph and speed guns shows 105kph speed . This is when I feel speed gun is having a zero error . Than sometimes a pacer bowls a slower bowl and it shows 60kph speed .

Any engineer technical person who can tell what's the problem with this speed gun at Rawalpindi cricket stadium ?
" Zung tou nai lag gaya kaee Saal faarigh perhi rehne se " :-)

Has anybody of you got a gut feeling that if Karachi and Lahore both qualify fir semifinal or final than the fastest ball will be bowled by Sami and not wahab or irfan ?

Wahab gets fired up very rarely . The fastest he has bowled in his entire career are in only 5 matches , all I loved
1. His test debut in England
2. Semifinal against India in 2011
3. Champions trophy against West Indies
4. In wc 2015 against India
5. In wc 2015 against Aus (fastest ever)

He rarely gets fired up otherwise and bowls within himself and in domestic he never fires up .

Who do you think will ball the fastest ball in coming domestic tournament ? For me if the same faulty speed hun is used Sami will clock fastest as 146 or 147kph on this speed gun (which will actually be 151 or 152kph) but this will only happen if team reaches semifinal or final . If they get knockout earlier than he won't bowl at this speed .

What do you think will be fastest balls of Sami , Wahab , Irfan , Umar Gul , Shehzad azam rana , hassan Ali , zia ul haq , taj wali , Ahmad jamal and Afroze khoso ??

Any new talent anybody knows who is in any squad and is genuinely quick ?

I have made this thread since for years we have been judging our domestic bowlers pace by only idea and guess work . Now first time after years speed gun (in whatever state) is there .

It's not future telling or something . Just giving an idea and a guess . Let's see anticipation of pace fans and their reading into pace guess.

All three of them skid the ball. They are not hit the deck bowlers unless they purposely want to bounce the batsman. It's down to their actions. Slingers and high arm actions generate the most bounce and having strong shoulders makes it easier.

Starc is a slinger but he has a low arm action therefore the trajectory of the ball is not into the pitch rather just skidding off the pitch. Cummins and Milne have a strong footblock but their core does collapse in delivery making them lose height. Both have fast arms but they are not loose-limbed so they also have to torque their body sideways to create a pathway for their arm to rotate easily. This also makes them lose height.
 
All of u guys r explaining with confused, overwrought logic which is actually absurd.
The only reason why cummins, milne n starc dont feel quicker is coz they hv very conventional actions, where the batter can always see the ball coming out of the hand.
Most batsmenare used to facing bowlers with such actions.

However, with wahab n johno, the arm comes from behind the back like a whiplash n this makes picking the length up very difficult.
I say this from experience as when I play club cricket, there is this slingy guy who bowls pretty much like johnson.
Even though he is not any quicker than another guy who has a classical action but still I struggle to pick his length as my eyes n reflexes r not trained to face his release. All my life I hv faced bowlers with high arm actions n
even though he bowls at 125 and the other guy at 130, but still the slingy one seems tougher.

This is the reason why people rate shoaib akhtar as the quicker one when compared to brett lee as with shoaib's unconventional action, it was really hard to pick the ball up, despite lee being quicker on the speed gun in terms of avg pace.

I'm not talking about which bowler feels faster but the bounce generated off the pitch not just the pace out of the hand. Slingers generate tennis ball bounce and if you're not a slinger then a high arm action is best for generating bounce which is pretty obvious stuff.

Wht do u mean by a slinger?
Coz from wht I know, malinga is one but he skids the ball rather than get steepling bounce

Slingers with a higher arm, bowlers like Wahab/Johnson/Shoaib/Thommo.

Malinga and Starc bowl from a lower angle hence their bowl skids on rather than digging into the pitch.

Anybody who is watching the match live please help me. What was the exact speed in mph showed on TV screen ? Cricinfo says 96mph and some op's saying it was 155kph. So please confirm and tell exact speed in mph

Sorry fellows esp Pakistan cricket fans.

It was 95.9mph i.e 154.3kph.

So now fastest ball of 2015 by wahab riaz at 96.01mph i.e 154.5kph followed very closely by Pat Cummins 95.9mph i.e 154.3kph
 
About time someone faster has replaced Wahab. Altho he can be seriously quick when he wants, he's not as quick(regularly anyway) as his rivals. The record of 2015 is in better hands now.

It is still in the better hands of the person whom Lara wanted to have a dinner with and wanted to pay his match fine . 96.01mph
 
Starch has stepped up the gas today in the final.

Fastest today with 152.5kph i.e 94.8mph.
 
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] Mods please change the title. It's not bowled its bowl

I agree. I miss that express pace of Shoaib, Tait & Lee. They were hostile.

On current generation, Milne will speed up I reckon.
 
Starc on fire !

86.6
Starc to McCullum, no run, 154.8 kph. That is just too quick. Breaks Baz's bat too. Full yorker, swinging away from Baz who digs it out and has to replace that bat. The outside chunk has just blown off on impact! Things happening all of a sudden
 
88.4
Starc to Taylor, no run, 160.4 kph, am I dreaming?! that should be more than a 100 miles an hour, right? Yorker on off and Taylor has managed to keep it out. Low back lift time
 
What's the fastest in test cricket? Shoaib and Lee bowled 160 in ODIs. Did they touch that in tests?
 
Wahab can go into 160s on a WACA pitch. Sad we're not playing there!!! :(
 
If that ball is legit, then Starc has broken Lee's record already. Lee's fastest was 160.1 km/hr. I believe.

Tait hit 160.8 km/hr

Pitch has nothing to do with pace out of the hand, although yes it would give the extra incentive.

Starc has bowled rapid but even still after the 160km bowl he hasn't touched 155.
 
149, 143.2, 146,145.8, 150.4, 149.3 - Starc's pace in his 7th over. This is called consistency and pace. Wahab doesn't have this. His balls are mostly 135-140 and then one in 150!

Wahab was consistent in the World Cup.

I think you meant Varun Aron who people here somehow hype up about him
 
What a fabulous spell of fast bowling.Brilliant.

But but he didn't got a wicket even. :)) So was of no use.Damn.
 
Tait was recorded at 161.1

Shaun Tait, Australia — 161.1km/h

The game: vs. England, 2010 (Lord’s)

The bowler: Tait’s violent slinging action and raw pace were on display when the fifth ball of his opening over to Craig Kieswetter was clocked at 100.1 mp/h by Sky Sports. The South Australian speedster also recorded a 160.7km/h ball against Pakistan at the MCG. Tait’s contorting action left him vulnerable to injury and the right-armer’s international career was eventually cut short by a succession of shoulder, elbow, knee and foot ailments.

I think what he meant here was pace that is consistent throughout the match, not some 2 over spell.

For example, Wahab bowled 154 Vs India in the WC, but his average pace was exactly as quick as Umesh (India's 3rd fastest bowler currently).

You're a Zak fan, so yeah you can laugh cause express pace is an alien concept for you. :srini

Wahab was the fastest bowler this year and has already bowled 154 in Australia. Can wreak havoc at the WACA.

And he's the fastest and most consistent in UAE heat as well. Even Johnson struggled and bowled 135. But can't blame you much, you're Indian. :akhtar

Wahab was consistent through out the QF against Australia
