being able to bowl at 80mph is quick however your never going to take wickets unless u can move the ball around off the seam or get a bit of swing

Becuase coaches tell you an estimate and they've experienced speed guns etc so they have a rough idea on your speed.

well AK, I am quick, thats that. I have a quick arm action that helps but I spin so that doesn't matter me. I stopped pacing 2 years ago but I wasn't quick back then and I use to land badly on my knee, thats why I quited it but now and then I bowl couple balls and I bowl them quick a s I said 80 mph, thats from the hand at not after pitching. and by the way 80 mph isn't quick I can average as well. By the way ak, how did you measure your speed, was it out of the hands are at the batsman point are after pitching. |

you are back to pace then? that would be the right decision because if you are bowling 80mph you might as well concentrate on that and not anything else. except batting |

80mph is rapid for a 16 yr old, it's rapid even for adult minor counties! Think of it this way - An international fast bowler will generally bowl between 85 and 90 mph, with a few exceptions. |

well freddieflintoff I am training for national u-19 at the moment but the only reason I was picked is because I do leg spin and right now, I am the best spinner the side has and I won't go back to pace to throw away my place because there are very good pacers there, 2 left armers and a very quick tall right armer. I figure he can make 90mph cause he is very quick on the slowest surface. Anyway, to get quicker, try using a smooth run up like lee and bring over your arm quick (this is why I do 80mph) and release quick because the speed of a ball is measured at release. |

90 mph, no way, not at u19, he'd be on the verge of the national team, or possibly in it, i think you could make it international at pace spin wizard, i never knew you bowled 80mph, thats the same speed as sri lankas fastest bowler.

No offence mate, but we are privelaged enough to have some of the U19 internationals play for our first team at the moment (Andrew Miller, Stephen Mullaney, Karl Brown and Nick Woods) Mill and mull both bowl for them, and they only bowl about 70 (They are Fast-Medium Bowlers) and they inform me that the fastest man in the squad they have seen on the speed gun only bowls about 80mph. Woodsy is a fantastic leggy, who turns it square and also bowls regularly. So I think we would all appreciate it if you kept your blatent lies to yourself. Leezy |

I found that very funny indeed! You obviously don't know how to tell the speeds. 90 mph at under 19 level is hilarious. In the U 19 world cup there was nobody in 90, the highest was about 85mph and you're telling me this guy can bowl express. You probably bowl at about 50mph if your views on speed are this distorted. ![]() |

whatever you all say, think about it, correy collymore bearly runs up and don't go over quick and bowl at 80 mph. This guy run up is long and has a quick arm action and is tall. He has no control what soever thats why he isn't in national. On short boundary, slips does be back nearly to the boundary for him. Maybe I exaggerated a bit too much but maybe he could make 88 the most. Remeber Jerome Taylor use to bowl at 93 mph when he was 19 years. |

when people say what speed they bowl you normally have to take away 10 Mph because everyone over rates themselves as a fast bowler

the trouble is there is no way of really guessing your bowling speed. so all the people claiming they can bowl over 80Mph if you dont have speed gun evidence then i, and alot of other peopole on this forum, are not going to take you seriously

Well, with the help of a video camera and stopwatch I calculated a speed of 67mph (via a time-distance equation) for myself. I'm a bit faster than some of the others on the team, but a bit slower than the top two bowlers, one of whom is seriously quick for our level. I'd rate myself about joint 3rd fastest on the team. My spin bowling is terrible, not because I can't get the ball to turn (I can bowl a bit of leg or offspin), but because I can't get it to land where I want it to. I'll stick to being a medium pacer, thanks.

I swing both ways - but only when I'm bowling!

in international cricket is the ball measured from the hand? cos this would make them seriously rapid as the pitches that the pros play on are like concrete.

Dead right mate. It is measured from the hands. Thats why I always try to tell persons to bring over quick and release quick to gain pace. |
