He bolwed quite continuously in the 90's in the final test of the ashes
especially against Pietersen. He has also hit the 100mph barrier as well |

Yea, I saw in some other thread on this same site that Brett Lee's fastest ball was 161.8 kph or 160.8 kph. I'm not sure which one. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Lee's fastest was 161.8 kph, but I don't believe that it is true because MiNiWaRnEy said that it went unnoticed, which is probably because it wasn't delivered at that pace. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

It was delvered at that pace, i am not lying, i swear to God. I have the DVD footage for proof. It was in the 2000/01 test series between Australia and teh West Indies in Australia. ------------- |

He has definatly broke the 100mph barrier. Also in the paper the other
day Akhtar has gave Brett the title of the worlds fastest bowler

I have checked all the guiness world record books from 2000-2006 and there is no sign of Lee delivering that ball. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Yeh guys in the General Forum i wrote a post, saying that i have proof. I got the DVD put it on my computer and took an Image of the delivery and its recorded speed, in which brett lee is the bowler. He actually gotta wicket that ball, it was a tailender though, still he bowled it at 161.8 km/h, u can not complain about the reading because it is unlikely to be wrong and if it is anything Shoaib has bowled could have been recorded wrong aswell. ------------- |

If Lee delivered that delivery, then why isn't it in any of the world record books? Because he didn't deliver it. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Now i read this Lee clocked his fastest-ever delivery of 160.8kmh in the first over of New Zealand's impotent reply to the world champions massive total of 5-347 at Napier's McLean Park |

I don't know if Lee delivered the 161.8 kph delivery or not but I believe he didn't. If he had, then the world record books would say he did, but they don't. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Why in the world would u believe he didnt when u did NOT see it, u r bias towards paki bowlers and this is wrong. Lee bowled that ball, i saw it and i have a dvd which proves it. U r foolosh to deny something u did not see and the fact u havent watched cricket sicne u were a young lad. ------------- |

I don't want to butt in here, because I don't know the answer any more than you guys. I just want to draw your attention to this "rules" post from JP. http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=457&PN=1 - http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=457&am p;PN=1 It's getting really difficult to read some of the posts here, and I think a little thought before posting could go a very long way. ------------- |

First of all, its a free forum, so I can believe what ever I want.  
Second, the world record books don't say he bowled the delivery so how could I believe that he bowled it. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

| I know he bowled it i dont care about the record books either |

Even though I haven't seen the ball, I know he didn't bowl it because it's not in the world record books. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

When did Brett Lee bowl this ball?Because the world record books might have already been published before Brett Lee bowled that ball ------------- Mae hen wlad fy nhadau |

Actually, a new world record book is published every year, and if Lee's delivery was 161.8 kph, it would in the 2005 world record book, or 2006 world record book. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

No problem.
Ok, everyone else. I have 2 links for you guys. I will not make them 'clickable' because then they don't work. http://www.zippyvideos.com/6463752561340176/sami/ Copy/Paste this link into the Address bar. This will show you the video, but it's sort of poor quality. The next link is here: http://rapidshare.de/files/3440629/101.9mph.wmv.html Copy/Paste this link into the address bar. When you are at this page, scroll down, and in the bottom right hand corner, it says 'Free,' click 'Free'. Now, on the new page scroll down, and it will say 'Wait 18 seconds' and just wait. Eventually, the wait will be over in a few seconds. Then there will be a letter/number combination exactly where it previously said 'wait 18 seconds.' Beside the letter/number combination, there will be an empty box, in the empty box, you type in the letter number combination, and click 'start download'. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

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. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

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). ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

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 http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/PLAYERS/AUS/L/LEE_B_02005966/ - 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.

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. ------------- "Excellence is something we can reach for; perfection is God's business." |

Dead rioght I agree, they are both great for the game and can get it over 160 kph. ------------- |

| 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? |
