Fast is not the big sequence of Good bowling ,

The fast the bowler bowls the batsman small hit which leads to BOUNDARY

Yea, I'll love reading it.

Moreover, if he could hit & slog the ball with his bat, he'll be a very useful all-rounder.

All these 100 mph bowlers end up with rotator cuff injuries in a few years.

Pat · 11-05-2009, 10:47 AM

^^I agree! IIRC, Munaf Patel started off as an outright Fast bowler (reaching 88-90 MPH consistently)! We all know his performance these days!

damngoodman999 · 11-05-2009, 12:39 PM

brett lee , shoaib aktar , allan donald r the successful fast bowlers but they never over whelmed 96MPH , only shoaib aktar initially his ball was so tough to handle in situations @ 1999 worldcup after that everyone smashing his bowling especially SACHIN then he increased his much speed abt 103MPH in 2003 worldcup then he severely injured more than 5 operation for him ,, brett lee had 3 operations ...

But still Glen Mcgrath & chaminda Vaas bowl medium pace they are good wicket takers till now .

Blame it on the indian bowling coaches.They are the ones who tell them to concentrate on line and length and accuracy.As a result of that bowlers loose their speed.But you need variety in the bowling line up.You cant have 4 130 Kph bowlers in the line up.You need atleast one quickie who can bowl in the late 140's consistently.

wat ,, brett lee continuously bowled 2003 to 2002 @ the speed of 155 to 160 ,, Shoaib Akhtar was the fastest bowling in the cricket history 164.3KMP

dont forget abt shane bond @ his debut he is the fastest bowler to bowl 159KMP

haha really?Brett bowled continuously b/w 155 to 160?Consistently or once?Check your facts first.You are making them on your own.

The fastest delivery that has ever been officially recorded clocked in at 161.3 km/h (100.2 mph) and was bowled by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan during a match against England in the 2003 Cricket World Cup. The batsman on the end of the delivery was Nick Knight who tamely guided it into the leg side.

And Shane Bond didnt bowl 159 kph.Both Brett Lee and Akhtar bowled close to 100 miles only once in their cricketing career.

I think latish mallinga due to his weird action is probably the only guy who may not get injured with his speed.

but then again, looking at his weird action more closely, his shoulder DOES stretch backwards quite a lot. wouldn't be surprised if its all over for him in a few years.

And they reported Kamran Khan's bowling action.If Kamran chucks then Malinga is the biggest chucker in the world.

Mallinga does not straighten his arm from a bent position. He just has a sideways action.

Kamran has a much different action, where some of his sharper balls are definitely chucks.

Thats because he played rural cricket in the gullys.

He just needs a rehab and some training to make him bowl normally.

He is just 18. He can fix his action in less than an year.

Agreeing on this.

But as far as I think, Malinga's action is still illegal. Yun toh mai bhi apne haath ground se parallel (perpendicular to body) aur bina jhatka diye ghuma k ball faek du.

Buddy, lets be honest. Kamran DOES chuck, no questions about it. Malinga's action, though weird, is still legal as his arm does not bend more than whats allowed by ICC.

And lets keep Shoaib Akhtar out of this discussion. Even though he was cleared by ICC, that guy clearly chucks (maybe not as bad as kamran, but he still DOES)

And how can you tell that with the naked eye?Even bhajji chucks.Kamran's action looks suspicious in one of the faster one which he bowls.
