 Topic: Brett Lee’s Fastest BallPosted: 30 December 2005 at 7:29pm |

Guess what everybody. I just went to the Guiness World record book site and gave them these links. I said that the Shoaib Akhtar delivery wasn't the fastest ever but the Sami one was. I hope they will put the Sami delivery in the 2007 World record book.

According to the 2006 Guinness World Record Book, it's Shoaib's delivery, which was delivered at 100.24 mph. According to some of the Australian folks on this forum, it was Lee's delivery, which was delivered at 161.8 kph (faster than Shoaib's), and according to a video I watched, it was Sami's delivery which was delivered at 164 kph (faster than both Shoaib's and Lee's).

Lets clear things up. The Sami delivery is irrelevant, as is the 161.8 kph ball by Lee (both due to tech problems.) "A delivery by Brett Lee from Australia was timed at 161.8kph against the West Indies at Brisbane on November 23, 2000. However this has been put down to an erroneous recording due to external interference of the radar's signal. Two back-up radars recorded the correct speed of 142kph for the delivery." Cricinfo The fastest ball ever is by Shoaib at 161.3 (100.2 mph) and the second fastest is by Brett Lee at 160.7 (99.8 mph- v. close) Its all rubbish really as different machines give different readings, there is variable accuracy and most importantly the speed is just for the fastest a ball has travelled through the air. Certain bowlers loose less speed on bouncing/pitching the ball and can therefore make the ball reach the batsman quicker than a bowler with a higher speed reading.

I agree, He didn't bowl that ball. It has already been explained earlier why Lee didn't deliver that ball.

This is why:
"A delivery by Brett Lee from Australia was timed at 161.8kph against the West Indies at Brisbane on November 23, 2000. However this has been put down to an erroneous recording due to external interference of the radar's signal. Two back-up radars recorded the correct speed of 142kph for the delivery." Cricinfo |

Well people are doing well to clear the things up. But forget about fractions, because they do not really matter. All speed guns are different, and there is always a chance of a fractional deviation. One thing that really matters is that both Shoaib & Lee can bowl almost 160 Km/h, which is really a termendous pace, and they really add passion to this game of cricket. |

To me speed doesn't really matter to be honest. I mean take a look at Glenn McGrath who was quite quick in his younger days well as he got older he lost some of his pace but he was still taking wickets whether he was bowling 80 mph or lower or maybe, he was still taking wickets. It doesn't matter how fast you are if you're getting tanked all round the ground and not taking wickets does it?

Interesting stats that Bettis91. Now, this tape here says otherwise about Thompson and Roberts..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPDW7hj1yfs
