Rise your hands who watch prime Lee and Akhtar, bond golden age of cricket 🏏
🙌
Er...no! Shoaib Akhtar was a cheat....he used Nandrolone to improve his performance...or had you chosen to forget that? Brett Lee was super quick as a bowler and could be a really good batter.
@@DrCrabfingers may be true nonetheless any baysmaem dare to face him in his prime and yeah Brett Lee wasa legend still fast is fast 90s cricket best 🙌
@@DrCrabfingers Then ICC or whole world even cameras or Blind only you are most genius and have eyes far superior then Superman. Your name should be written in Guinness book of world and also in whole word historical books with Diamonds.
IMO The West Indies combinations of Marshall, Holding, Roberts, Garner was the golden age of quick bowling.
Batsmen never got any respite.
Brett Lee - for his speed, swing, consistency and graceful bowling action.
😂😂😂 Indian bowler are usless 😅

I had the privilege of watching Shoaib Akhtar bowl along with Wasim, Waqar, Saqlain, Azhar Mahmood, Abdul Razzaq in person during the world cup of 1999 in England, amazing memories.
No one gets the combination of speed with good lines and conceading very little runs better than Brett Lee.
Glenn mccgrath 🐐 says hi 😎, If you say accurate line & length no comparison
@@aravindb9736 McGrath didn't have the speed of Lee, the closest would be Bond
Right 👍
Wasim akram enter the chat
@@fusion7246 i talk about the line & length bro.
Many years ago when the West Indies were in their prime (Lloyd, Richards, Holding, Haynes etc etc) I was fortunate enough to see Andy Roberts bowl at Bourda in Guyana. That pitch was not considered a "fast" pitch (as opposed to Kensington Oval in Barbados or Sabina Park in Jamaica) but all I could see was the dust that was kicked up when the ball hit the pitch. I could never actually see the ball! Now granted I was side on to the pitch but I had 17 year old eyes at the time! What impressed me even more is that his run up was relatively short and more on an "amble" as opposed to a sprint, yet the ball was released at what seemed to me at the time as unbelievable speed. Ahhh cricket, lovely cricket!
Black storm of that eta gave the cricket true legends that remain unmatched till today.
Only Akhtar could macth their pace.. nobody else ever could.
Thanks for sharing your story
@@janikhan9568 all bowlers in this vid can match their pace don't be too cocky
@@JackSparrow-zj4hj more specifically yes. they can match the pace but they cant match the quality of black storm: Marshalll, Roberts, Holding, Ambrose..Garner etc.
Not Fast, But Glenn McGrath could put the ball on your toes and bowl like that all day. Till the batsman would do something different then out
Shaun Tait & Shoaib Akhtar were the only bowlers in this list who gave more importance to speed instead of line & length.
Shoaib was more accurate than either Tait or Thomson (it's not hard), but I still don't think he was as fast as Thomson. True, without speed guns for Thomson we can't prrove it, but as I said I've seen them all live and still think Thomson at his peak was the quickest. Another very fast one before speed guns was Michael Holding - called "Whispering Death" because of the deceptive smoothness of his action.
Shoaib is only bowler in list who only bowls for speed not wickets
Do you think other fast bowlers are succesful than shoiab?
Shoiab was a threat to all batters of the world.
After Shoaib,i believe starc to be ferocious bowler
Brett lee only breet lee

Respect to all the fast bowlers on the list. Especially Brett Lee and Jeff Thomson!
Love from South Africa.
Back at ya mate. I've seen a couple of your guys like Donald send down some lighting bolts too.
I'm old enough (and addicted to cricket enough) to have seen most of these players live when they were in their prime. The speed gun wasn't available for Thomson until after he broke his shoulder, when he dropped noticeably in pace. In my opinion in the years 1974-75 he bowled quicker than any of these. THe wicketkeeper had to stand further back to him than for his teammate Dennis Lillee, for example, who prior to Thomson's arrival was considered the quickest bowler in the world.
I do recall reading somewhere, where Thompson bowled a ball at the WACCA where it went over the keepers head and bounced one time, and into the fence. That requires a lot of pace
Don't talk without measuring the speed blindly when u don't have the speedometer available that time just forget it۔ Secondly we r talking about fastest bowlers within our country of india not international level۔ If u r Indian give example of any Indian origin bowlers speed that too with properly measured one۔ Ok
Lol, no gym, not proper athelete, no proper training....if keeper stand behind doesn't mean that bowler is bowling fast.... Its just keeper choice.
Many keeper stand too behind of wicket for fast bowler or in a bouncy pitches.
Conclusion: if you have a speed machine, or proper proof, to measure a fast ball then you can talk about any of them
@@mujahidaligowher why?? India is only a member country of cricket. And cricket is not only about india. And fast bowling is not only about umran malik.. Umran has speed but not much accuracy. This is why his economy rate is that high..

Lee was more consistent at bowling faster than Akhtar and had one of the cleanest bowling actions, which is quite remarkable. He wasn't wild like Akhtar or Tait.
Yeah Lee was the cleanest fast bowler of all the time and shane bond also
Shoaib is more controversial bcoz he is far way from any pacer...
But I feel Mitcheel starc is also very dangerous
The over bowled by Brett seen here is indicative of how speed bowlers should be measured. We see the fastest average over bowled on record. Single timed deliveries should never be taken as a count because of variability of conditions and questionable accuracy of devices. I would bet the devices are not calibrated to a Standard for each and every game. Also Thommo shown here was never timed using today's radar devices until after he had his accident that required surgery. It was not until 1975 that radar became available and replaced the former point to point timing.
Incorrect and biased analysis. Unimpressed. Michael Holding was the second fastest bowler of his time followed by Imran Khan, at speed competition held on speed test at Kerry Pecker's Circus. He threw some very quick and ferocious deliveries. He is not mentioned. Garth Lee Roux and Malcolm Marshal also missing in the list. Brett Lee was expensive but Shoaib Akhtar was a nightmare for batsmen because of his good length bouncers, after Malcolm Marshall. Brett Lee was often punished by Indian batsmen.
Lucky enough to see most of the bowlers bowl in their prime, specially Shoaib Akhtar running all the way from boundary. 💞
Shoaib akhtar is fastest but my all time favourite is mitchell starc😍

@@Sahil_Dogra01 bhai umran hai imran nahi
same like me
Yorker at 160kph is much tougher than a big bouncer at the same speed. With the bouncer, you get extra leverage and can generate extra force from the core. Yorker, not so easy. Measured speed is ok, beating that 100-mile Starc Yorker is going to be something else.
Lol. Its easier to bowl full when you are quick. But its a lot difficult to bowl a bouncer at 100mph. Almost impossible
@@nomanarif17 You do realise that a delivery loses approx 10% of velocity on contacting the pitch ?
@@flamingfrancis he is talking from another perspective you are both right actually!
Speed, biomechanically speaking, is generated from how much of an arc you can move your arm in before releasing the ball, in the last quarter of a second.
Look, in these REALLY fast guys, how much arc the ball is travelling through before release. The bigger the arc, the bigger the speed (in the same amount of time).
Shane Bond had bolwed 156km/h he was the most dangerous bowler at that time.

Sri Lanka U-19 fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana shocked everybody during their U-19 World Cup game against India by bowling a wide bouncer which was recorded at 175 kph (108 mph), making it the fastest ball ever bowled by any bowler in across all levels in international cricket.Jan 22, 2020

👍 right
Shame we’ll never know what Thompson’s fastest delivery was in his prime.
I was there for the Akhtar ball. So exciting watching the speed creep up. Same game where Jimmy Anderson really first showed what he was about.
Fast boll is good but medium pace with A right length is dangerous for any batsman ,example is great Glenn McGrath
Bhuvi also...
Curtly ambrose and modern day bowler:- jos Hazelwood
so tru
Brett Bowled 160+ nearly 6 times only in Wc 2003 , you have video in youtube brett lee all 160+ , later in 2004 he clicked 160 and 161.1 against NZ in naiper
The title should be fastest bowlers not bowls, where a bowler can't be in the list more than once.
Butt hurt hindu. What have you produced??
Video is about fastest delivery not about who puts many deliveries read again without jealousy
No one can compete an actual rythm, pace & specially the attitude of a real fast bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar ❤
In the Bret Lee clip comentator said that the world record was 161.9 is that clip not available
The best 160km/ hr fast ball we ever witnessed came from Allan Donald after he had been hit for 6 six's in a row. In his anger, he bowled a 160km/hr yorker that snapped the middle stump at the base & the wicket flew over the wicket keepers head. The crowd exploded in disbelief while Alan Donald flew his plane in celebration.

@@malcolmmuggeridge7862 OK. I admit it was only 3 six's but the stump breaking at the base & going over the wicket keepers head was amazing.
balls at altitude shouldn't count
Shoaib and Lee were definitely quicker, but in my life time I've never seen anyone put the fear into batsmen like Mitchell Johnson did. He had speed, accuracy and the right amount of mongrel in him. I'm not old enough to have seen Thommo or anyone else of that era, wish I had of. Tate was crazy but his pace would start dropping off before the end of his first over.
I've been watching cricket since the late 1960s. I have never seen one bowler dominate an entire series like Johnson did during the 2013-14 Ashes. He was the reason Aus won in a 5-0 whitewash. Every match was a thrashing. He took 37 wickets at 13.97. Those are insane numbers but they don't tell the whole story though. The real drama was out there on the pitch. You could see it when you watched it live. MJ's combination of speed, accuracy & angle of attack was way too much for the English to handle. He was hostile as hell, too, having no qualms about regularly dinging helmets & bodies. The body language of those who faced him spoke volumes. He broke batsmen's wills. Then he went to South Africa in early 2014 & did the very same thing to the Proteas, outbowling Steyn & Co. by a mile on their own turf. I don't expect ever to see a performance like that again by a bowler in my lifetime. Google what the British press had to say about MJ during that Ashes series. They were as gobsmacked as I was.
BTW Englishman John Snow did almost the same thing to the Aussies during the 1970-71 Ashes. He had a whippy action & was very hostile, taking 31 wickets at 22.83. Consistently getting the ball to rear up off a length he was clearly the difference between the two teams as England won the series 2-0. I watched as much of it as I could on the old black & white TV. It was a long time ago but Snow made an impact on me. Good footage of JS here on YT.
@@windigo44 Thanks, I'll have a look at Snow.

For those wondering, speed can be calculated accurately without need for a 'speed gun'. You just need to know dimensions of pitch and have clear, consistent footage. This technique is used all over the world to accurately gauge speed in many circumstances, such as forensic investigations. This is likely the technique used by Wisdon to fill their stats for the older players, before radar cameras were available. They likely have archives of high quality footage that can't be found on youtube for copyright reasons.
The problem with that is you need the frame rate of the cameras to be accurate and consistent. Certainly many of the old film cameras wouldn't have been
No it can't, the speed is measured from the hand
That Competition between Akhtar and Lee was Awesome. They Dont do Trash talk, they only talk with Ball. 👍 Era of Speed

Lee is my favourite because of High speed and beautiful action
Completely agree, only bowler in that list that doesn’t have a side arm, slinging action.
Him and Bond
yes bro also my favourite because of action and personality and also stylish looking
Andy Roberts - lovely action and a real thinker of the game. Imran Khan said Roberts was the most terrifying bowler he faced. I don’t know who I’d be most terrified of facing out of this lot - but I wouldn’t want, or be competent enough to face any of them.

I saw Thomo at the end of his career when I was a kid, and some of the West Indies greats like Malcom Marshal, Joel Garner, Michel Holding. Saw Brett Lee, Shane Bond, Wasim Akram and Shoab Akhtar, to name a few.
But I have to say, THE fastest spell I ever saw live, was Shaun Tait bowling to Adam Gilchrist at the Gabba in a T20 game. That 2nd over was beyond fast.

Someone is bullshitting here.
Yeah, the commentator. Shoaib has the international record at 161.3. Maybe the commentator is talking about a first class delivery that was faster? Don't know.
How did they get Andy Roberts speed without speed gun?
Johnson, Thompson, Starc, Tait, Lee. Australia knows how to produce quick bowlers 😮
Some thoughts - Jeff Thomson was the fastest bowler I think I've ever seen with his sling action. There was an Australian TV show in around 1978 about the fastest bowlers in the world using the "new technology" of radar to accurately measure speed. Thommo came out on top with a ball well over 100mph. Lee and Akhtar exceptionally quick too and both brilliant bowlers, but Lee was also one of the most powerful hitters of the ball with the biggest six I have ever seen in Brisbane.
Other names to throw in Garth Le Roux who didn't get to play tests due to the ban on South Africa, Harold Larwood from the Bodyline series whose front foot was smashed from pounding it down so hard as he bowled.
Maybe also Dennis Lillee when he was young before he broke his back from bowling too fast, Ray Lindwall, and potentially Fred 'The Demon' Spofforth who was faster than anybody of his day and who invented swing bowling. Hard to know really how fast Spofforth bowled as he played in the first test in 1877, but he was as feared as any bowler who ever lived - including by the great W.G. Grace - yes same surname, much better cricketer :)
I'm afraid your memory betrays you, Thompson was measured at 91.9mph in that TV show, not over 100mph as you suggested
Typhoon Tyson who Benaud reckoned was the fastest.
Nonsense. Rewatch that documentary Thompson Mx was 149kph. No one tested cracked 150kph and this was them going all out for the measuring. Average speeds during games were much lower.
Came out on top with a speed "well over 100mph" in 78? Where on Earth do you get that from?? You can watch the competition on TH-cam. Thomson's quickest delivery is 147kmhr. That is around 90mph
This was sadly After Thomos shoulder injury.
Fidel edwards he is really a good bowler don't know but his speed is decreased by the time.
Right 👍
Eddie Gilbert was an Aboriginal Australian fast bowler who played in the 1930's. Sir Donald Bradman said he was the fastest he had ever faced. Commentator Alan McGilvray said that he was the fastest bowler he had ever seen. Eddie Gilbert should be on the list.
Why cant the modern bowler bowl these kind of speeds nowadays? Is it cuz it's less effective and accurate? Or remember the Brett lee and shoaib akhtar rivalry in speeds. Was amazing to watch
Shoaib Akhtar shows the real meaning of speed!!
Shoaib has bowled the most fascinating deliveries throughout his career. People come to stadium just to watch his magical spell
Bond has the most stylish bowling action❤
Ive seen them all. Loved the rivalry between the two great bowlers lee and akhbar. But thommo was without doubt the fastest ive seen
Ah Fidel Edwards ! sooooooooooooo refreshing to see his mention after almost 2 decades !
Needs to be speed at the bat, not speed out of the hand, minus 10km from these new Hollywood speeds. Jeff Thompson was a true 160km bowler
He was also measured at the bowling end lol, try doing some research before you speak
And it doesn't slow down by 10kms on reaching batsman end, but about 15% which means a 160 kph bowl would reach the batsman at around 135-40 kph

😂😂 proof?
I m from india but I love to see Pakistani bowlers every Pakistani bowlers having good line length even every bowlers having good pace 👍👏
Would have loved to see Alan Donald and Lance klusner on this list
Used to admire Shoaib bowling style..
This seems to be only international games - probably many missed here like in County cricket - an 18-year-old Allan Donald bowled 155km/h almost every ball. Sadly not all games had a speedometer.
Yes I also heard that he was a lot quicker in his early stages of career than later stages
A 158 km/h bouncer is insane
Ek hi toh Dil hai Akhtar Saab ❤
No way that Starc delivery is accurate
agreed, never been close to 155 before or since then
Brett lee is my favourite😍🥰
it must be difficult reading pace at different altitudes etc . My favourite fast bowler was Malcolm Marshall.
Thompson looks the quickest with the naked eye, and for consistency I would say he was the fastest overall.
Is super fast bowling effective? Lance Klusener was measured at about 155 km/h early in his career, but only started featuring as an effective bowler when he slowed it down to the 130's.
Line and Length matters more than speed, but a fast bowler is exciting to watch.
Shoaib Akhtar, the father of all
A drugs cheat. But hey, let's forget that and just remember him being Pakistani. What a great guy. Let all Pakistanis look up to this guy...and put his cheating to one side....amazing...conscience only applies when it is in your favour....wow...we all applaud you. What an amazing country you come from. Fair play only exists when it is in your favour.
Asif was magician no one knows how his delivery will react the best ever bowler in cricket history
True. Smoothest action and fastest
I'm surprised Michael Holding isn't in this list. I once saw him bowl in the same game live at the SCG with Jeff Thompson. I could barely see the ball when either of them were bowling - both seriously quick
I watched a 1 day game at the Gabba (QLD vs WA). QLD had Kasper, Bichel and a young Mitchell Johnson. WA had Damien Martyn. Kasper and Bichel were quick but them Johnson came on and I couldn’t see the ball once it left his hand when bowling. He was lightning quick. He ran through the WA batting order until Martyn came in and he looked like a man playing against boys. It was like Martyn was playing the game in slow motion, he middled every ball. It’s funny that when you watch test cricket, everyone is good. When you watch domestic cricket everyone is good. When you watch Test players in domestic cricket, you realise how much of a jump there is in skill and talent.
I agree, but to be fair, speed guns they currently measure weren't about so I believe there is an element of guesstimate given frame by frame clips. Ian Chappell has always maintained Thommo & Holding were easily quicker than anyone else with Shoaib close to Holding.
Lee had that over with each delivery more than 155km/h
OFFICIALLY the fastest average over bowled.
Yeah keep thinking about that. Do you want peanut butter with your JELLY.
Urman Malik 154 km/h🔥🔥

That Anderson Roberts ball was scary! Dude looked like he was jogging in to bowl a 125km/h dibbly dobbler...next thing you know nearly 160km/h at your head without a grill.
