^ At the young age of 15 i seriously doubt that you bowl in the late 130's. Thats equivalent to about 85mph+. To put it in perspective i once knew a boy who bowled around 65-70mph aged 15, he got picked to play for the youth team for Surrey. According to your calculations your quicker than your favourite bowler McGrath LOL.
 
Let me help you out, you probably bowl 65mph tops. Which is still pretty good aged 15.
