Speed Watch: Pakistan vs New Zealand 3-ODI Match Series (2025)

[Timewaster]

I haven't watched any of the white ball series, but does anyone have the details from who from both sides has had the top speed? One thing I notice with Big Will O'rourke he seems to be faster in tests matches which is a rare quality

The high jumper and the low rider

Haris is bowling with a good pace... consistently bowling over 140 kmph

Everyone seems slow. Wonder what Will O'Rourke was bowling. Should tell us how the guns are working

Lol...what is the use of pace when you are being thrashed for that

It's a three matches ODI series my dude, at least get the basics right.

Gotta come out of this hype of pace... Batters nowadays use pace to their advantage and play a lot of innovative shots against it.
Bowlers need to be more clever.

If you stayed true to your username
then watching this series would have been the perfect time waste opportunity for you.

Pace bowling obsession has been the achilles heel for pakistan in the last many years, the obsession was taken to the next level when every team plays with 2 specialist spinners in spinning conditions on the other side we have pakistan playing with 3 fast bowlers and 1 specialist spinner, they think shaheen, haris & naseem as if they are wasim, akhtar & waqar but the reality is they are just good bowlers, if the mistake is not rectified pakistan is going downwards even faster.

My dude I didnt write that, the admin must of. I dont watch white ball cricket, was just wanting to know how fast the bowlers from both sides were bowling. O'rourke Seem to be around 140kph, but in Tests can crank up the speed to over 150kph, which is opposite to most bowlers. Steyn was another bowler who bowled faster in Tests.

In terms of speed, Haris is clearly ahead of Akif.

Not bad seems like speed guns are running slow. These NZ seamers are usually 140 ish

Slower balls being down the average speed.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Slower balls being down the average speed.

That was excluding deliberate slower balls

You took speed of each deliveries and then removed slower ones? That's a lot of work

It's standard stuff that is done while calculating average speeds.

Average speeds in 3rd ODI (PAK)

No they arent

It’s a myth

In tests the average speed is between 134 to 143 ish max

Here and there a few balls will be 144 to 145 from sears and o roruke

But average speed is always sub 138

Sears only just started and is breaking down so soon.

He has decent bounce though.

Well I thought akif and Naseem were slow but they are around the same speed as sears and all who are decently quick

O'rourke was bowling consistently around 150kph vs england in3rd Test, touched 153kph

Yea for one or 2 balls max

Check his average speed

It was in 136 137 range max

Haris will be the top speedster in every series... Although I do see a bit of a lesser pace from Haris but I think it is fine... He is doing an ok job, especially in t20 and should play t20 format only.
