Re: Fastest ever bowlers - Googley - 01-20-2014
that list is in the wrong order!! Back in the days of WI 6 prong, Lillee and Thompson they measured differently than from today. They used to measure the speed of the ball when it almost hit the bat. These days (from Ahkar era onwards) they measuring speed when the ball leaves the bowler's hand.
Big big difference that!!
Thompson is the fastest of them all then Imran Khan!

the funniest part of it all...as Dowe bounced and got hit for 6, he would get vex and bounce even more!! Even the captain would talk to him and but the chap was known as "passion cock" (using the old Berbician slang) and would not listen! 8) 8)
