i don't fully agree Miraz bhai with some of the speed ranges you've posted. but i too am impressed with the speed of our pacers, and more so by the fact that shafiul did quite well with the red ball so far and rubel too didn't at least get embarassed like sharapova at Lords.
but this Test here are the speeds I saw:
Rubel - max (144), average (138-140)
Shahadat - max (137), average (128-130)
Shafiul - max (135), average (130)
the following are not from this Test, but general observations:
Ishant - max (142), average (132-135)
Zaheer - max (140), average (128-130)
Sreesanth - max (145), average (130-132)
Walegedara - max (?), average (135)
Kulasekara - max (135), average (125)
Malinga - max (142), average (135)
Fernando - max (148), average (140)
Asif - max (137), average (130)
Gul - max (145), average (135)
