Yes, we are so obviously jealous of someone who is lying about the speed they can bowl to impress people online :S

If you could bowl that fast and prove it then all you would have to do is send the proof to any county side and they would snap you up in mins and have you on the way to becomming a pro cricketer.

You're on a different planet mate.
When you win the toss - bat.
If you are in doubt, think about it - then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague - then bat.

To be honest your action is probably more important then strength when it comes to speed, strength is useful obviously but bowling is all about rythm.

Weight training at under 16 can mess up your muscles. Press-ups and sit-ups are of much more use, you could really damage yourself by weight training.

to much muscle can also limit your action.

I have a friend who is 14, who's been playing East Of Scotland since P7, and played Scotland since U13. He has recently changed his bowling action from Fast (for our age) to Off Break (with a lot of variations.) He's recently made his debut for our school 1st XI, where he scored 55 at the age of 14.

I really think this boy has potential.

Yes i know that, but all the coachs say i have the perfect action for my height which i don't know if it is true, but i think the only thing to do now is improve my pace.

try to use your non-bowling arm more by driving it down hard.

Keep your shoulder up until your front foot lands
