"When I was small I loved Pakistan cricket team and I enjoyed watching Waqar Younis" : Usain Bolt

Theoretically, how fast can Bolt bowl if he starts running in right from the boundary rope as fast as he can and delivers the ball with all the momentum that he has gathered without breaking stride?

140 probably. A lot depends how much practice he has and how good is action is. Thats what matters more than a runnup
 
Yes, but I think with a smooth action, he can go way beyond 140.
 
I remember a year ago or so, Bolt said he was a fan of Waseem Akram on Piers Morgan's show.
 
God... will anyone ever say this about pakistan cricket again besides a pakistani. I have hope
 
Yeah, no surprise. Windies and Pakistan play their cricket similarly. They've got the same flair and natural ability.

Pakistan no more has flair.

We're filled with Azhars, Shafiqs, Saad Nasims, Hafeezes

The less we say about our current bowlers the better :uakmal

Had Usain Bolt played cricket, he would have been a pacer in the league of Michael Holding. I believe so, because Michael Holding (also from Jamaica) won gold in 400 metres in World University games beating Alberto Juantorena of Cuba in 1976. A few months later, this same Alberto Juantorena won gold in 400 meters in 1976 Montreal Olympics whereas Holding was playing test cricket by that time.
 
Usain Bolt. What an athlete. And a top bloke. Greatest sprinter of all time by a country mile. Shame he didn't sign off with a gold last night.
 
A company which looks after Usain Bolt's investments is under investigation after reports he may have lost millions of dollars to fraud.

Jamaica's Financial Services Commission (FSC) has placed the firm, Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL), in "enhanced oversight" following the allegations.

The 36-year-old retired sprinter had investments with SSL for over a decade.

Bolt's manager Nugent Walker told the Jamaica Gleaner the eight-time Olympic champion had noticed "discrepancies".

The Gleaner report alleged millions of dollars were missing from the account.

Usain Bolt Loses $12 Million In Financial Scam: Report
Bolt's account, according to his lawyer, was intended to serve as a pension for the eight-time Olympic gold medalist sprinter and his parents.

Usain Bolt, Jamaica's Olympic sprinting legend, has lost millions of dollars he had in his account with Kingston-based investment firm Stocks and Securities Ltd.
Lawyers for the track and field star have stated that the $12 million has vanished from his account with a Jamaican investment firm and that they are prepared to take the case to court if necessary. Only $12,000 is left in the account now.

"The account was part of Bolt's retirement and lifetime savings," his lawyer, Linton P. Gordon, told Fortune magazine over the phone.

"It's distressing news for anyone, and certainly in the case of Mr. Bolt, who established this account as part of his private pension," Gordon said on Wednesday.

"We will be going to court with the matter" if the company does not return the funds, Gordon said.

"It is a grave disappointment, and we are hoping that the matter will be resolved in a way that Mr. Bolt will recover his money and be able to live in peace."
