Am sure Morne Morkel used to reach 150 in his early days but was way too wayward. He sacrificed a bit of pace for the accuracy he have now

cummins has definitely hit 150, watson most likely not, i've never seen it...starc i think he possibly has. yadav definitely has as well and so has morne, i'm pretty sure aaron did before his injuries. haven't seen enough of the pakistani's to know. i actually think siddle may have.

[Tiger Manc]

^Okay adding Cummins, Yadav and Morkel to the list.

I know Riaz and Irfan have clocked in at 147 but not sure if they've ever hit 150.

The fastest ball ever bowled by a Bangladeshi was Rubel Hossain's 148.0kph delivery (92mph) in England.

^can you point me to the video clip of that delivery/cricinfo commentary? Please

It was a was a warm up vs Netherlands. Rubel also clocked 147-148 in the 58 all out match but i think that was speed gun error.

Amir Ishant Yadav have all clocked 150 but the only time was in AUS so i think that has to do with gun calibration cuz we know Ishant and Amir are nowhere near that speed. I think Yadav has clocked 147 in India so he might be 150 in AUS, but I wouldnt be surprised if indian guns are up-calibrated as well. Even tait barely crosses 144 on BD guns.

[Tiger Manc]

^Thanks. Ishant Sharma's clocked in at 150? That's news to me.

[Tiger Manc]

Not sure if you're referring to me, but I didn't follow Bangladesh that closely back then, hence it's the first time I've heard of that.

I think Shannon Gabriel and Sheldon Cotterel has hit 150 already.

Cotterel i know for sure went over 150 in CPL so he is capable of it.

[Tiger Manc]

Welcome to the club Adam Milne. That was one rapid 1st spell against India.

[Gowza]

put his name right up there, i see johnson being the only one at current who could possibly contend with milne for the fastest bowler atm.

[Banglatiger84]

I remember during the '96 world cup, the broadcaster had a very strict criteria for displaying someone as a "fast bowler" as opposed to a "fast medium bowler" on TV
IIRC, the only ones called "Fast" were the West Indian 3 (Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop), McGrath, Wasim/Waqar, Donald and oddly enough one Ravindra Pushpakumara from Sri lanka

I was not sure what the criteria was but now I think it was somenone who could reach 150 kph

[Naimul_Hd]

From today's match

7.1
Johnson to du Plessis, OUT, and another! This is brutal from Johnson - 151kph!

Since when did McGrath bowl at 150kmph?!

[Gowza]

McGrath was fast medium, not quick enough to be considered in the fast category.

[Tiger Manc]

Shannon Gabriel added to the list.

[al Furqaan]

Wow didn't realize he's that quick. Hes massively built though.
