shoaib reached up to 153.9 kph and lee hasnt even reached 150 in these matches....
i think brett lee is no threat for the ** King of Pace Bowling**....
brett lee could be a gr8 bowler but he can't challenge PINDI XPRESS's speed...
his speed is no match to one and only Akhtar
Thankz Tipz.
Guys, usually Rashild Latif is a quite person, as you seen him not talk very much, but when he talks, it is very important and everyone must listen to him, the last time he said something he got 2 Pakistani senior players banned.
This is what he had to say about Shoaib.
Great article and I couldn’t agree more, South Africa is said to have the fastest bowling pitches in the world, if Shoaib can bowl 100 mph delieveries in slow and dull pitches of Pakistan than just imagine what he can do to the Australian dhotis in the World Cup.
Pakistan Ka matlab Kya?
La Illaha Illalah!
Hindustan Ka Matlab Kya?
Ham Ko kya, Bhatr mai Ja!
Just finished the below article, should be up on cricinfo in the next few days.
1mph is 1.609344kph
"Shoaib’s pace reigns supreme
Eddie Smith
It was billed as the biggest individual show-down in world cricket today, cricket's answer to a heavy weight title fight to decide once and for all who is the fastest bowler on the planet. But the three match confrontation which was planned, effectively turned into a single day of competition between the world's two fastest bowlers.
Shoaib came to Australia as the fastest bowler alive and left with his reputation intact. In fact Shoaib left Australia with a new found respect from the Australian public and batsmen alike and perhaps fear as the deadliest 'one day' bowler in world cricket.
Brett Lee was effectively dropped for the first clash due to his poor economy rate since his return from elbow surgery some 12 months ago. Coming into the second game on notice to tighten things up, Brett Lee understandably looked tense and never really got into gear. Lee's pace comes from rhythm and playing competitive cricket but the seven week lay off had also let a little rust set in and this showed in all the Australian bowlers.
Glenn McGrath has not bowled as slowly since the beginning of the Test series against the West Indies in 2000. McGrath was bowling around 10kph slower than he was in the one dayers in Australia earlier this year. Just four months ago, he was bowling whole overs above 140kph and as high as 143.7, yet from the start of this series, McGrath settled into the 128kph to 134kph range and barely got above 136kph.
Jason Gillespie's pace also suffered a little from his lack of cricket, as he was about 5kph below what he would usually be producing during an Australian summer. Gillespie however did manage to match Mohammed Sami for pace as the two men were constantly over 140kph and as high as 145kph in their only encounter.
The amazing thing about Gillespie and McGrath is that although their pace may have been down due to a lack of cricket, their all important line and length was spot on virtually from the first ball they bowled.
Andy Bichel has been playing a lot of cricket, and it showed as he was around top pace and bettered the 140kph mark in each of his two matches.
A surprise as far as pace goes was the tameness of the bowling of Shane Watson. Touted as being as fast as anyone on Australia's domestic circuit and a genuine opening bowler, he looked anything but a fast-man. His fastest ball coming in game two at 136.0kph. Veterans Wasim Akram (136.9kph) and Waqar Younis (137.4kph) managed to pip young Watson in the third match but it shouldn't be too long until we see just what the talented all rounder is capable of. Once he begins to believe that he belongs at this level, he should loosen up somewhat and justify the faith which is being shown in his bowling. A couple of years back, Dennis Lillee showed some faith in him and took the then 18 year old Watson to the MRF Pace Academy in India. Dennis Lillee has an eye for spotting a fine young 'quick'.
Shahid Afridi never fails to amaze me with the speed of his fast-ball. Off just a few steps he is able to make the jump from his standard 100kph to over 130kph almost at will. This is surely a rare sight in world cricket today.
What the whole world really wanted to see was the match up between Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee. But the 'main event' nearly turned into a non-event as injury and poor form threatened to quash the battle before it had even begun.
The television station responsible for showing the series in Australia had run their advertising campaign around the pace battle between the pair and a no-show would mean both poor ratings and a few television gurus with more than a little egg on their face.
A special commemorative piece of memorabilia was even being promoted with signed pictures of the pair. The framed pictures entitled "Pace Fury" and selling for $395.00 (Aus) highlights the pair and also credits the men with speeds of 157.4kph for Lee and 157.2kph for Shoaib. One can only assume that the window of opportunity between the 8th of March 2002 when Lee bowled 157.4kph (EDH guns) and April 12, 2002 when Shoaib hit 159.5kph (EDH guns) was utilised to both design and produce what is a marvellous testament to these two wonderful athletes.
The bowling speeds recorded during this series prove Shoaib as completely dominant in both pace and skill. The duo only had the second of the three matches pitted against each other and each of the men were carrying baggage of some sort.
Shoaib was clearly limping and labouring in his run to the bowling crease during his first match, yet as we have come to expect from Shoaib, he was able to exceed 145kph almost at will. His sharpest delivery was 151.9kph and he walked away with the top ten speeds of the match.
An interesting bit of byplay between the speed freaks came when Shoaib had just taken the wicket of Andy Bichel and Lee strode to the crease. Shoaib eyeballed his fellow paceman and gestured towards his own head suggesting that a fast bouncer was imminent. The crowd loved it and saw the humour of the situation when the first ball to Brett Lee was found closing in on his big toe at 148.4kph. Lee did exceptionally well to dig the ball out.
Shoaib's 150kph inswinging yorker is fast becoming the most feared weapon in world cricket and has proved as deadly as a side-winder missile, honing in on the stumps. The New Zealanders were the first to bear the brunt of Shoaib's new found combination of speed, accuracy and lateral movement in April and now it was Australia's turn.
The Australian batsmen have shown their dislike for genuine 'quicks' with Ntini and Bond dominating during the 'one dayers' earlier in the year, but now Shoaib was in another league altogether. Ponting (151.1kph), Lehmann (150.3kph) and Bevan (152.3kph) were dismissed in successive overs from Shoaib with balls exceeding 150kph. In his 96 balls in the series, he exceeded the 150kph mark nineteen times, sixteen of those balls came in Shoaib's second match when his injured leg seemed less of a concern.
In that match, he bowled at a top speed of 153.9kph, only 0.9kph short of the fastest ball recorded by IDS on Australian soil and 0.8kph shy of Shoaib's fastest ball in Australia. He has pushed the consistently accurate IDS guns even higher still, in Sharjah when he recorded 155.7kph. Shoaib looked perhaps one match away from recording that sort of pace again but more importantly ended the day as man of the match and also player of the series. In Shoaib's last three series he has taken 23 wickets @ 13.5 with a s/r of 21.4. Combine that with an economy rate of under 4 runs per over and you can see why Shoaib is being hailed as the best 'one day' bowler on the world's stage.
Brett Lee's poor economy rate of late was the focus of much media attention in the lead up to this series. Lee would no doubt realize that continuing innacuracy may ultimately mean the difference between being a hero or a spectator in the forthcoming world cup. Over his last 5 series, Brett Lee has conceeded 5.3 runs per over and although he has the ability to break a game wide open with a few wickets in quick succession, it was deemed the Lee is not currently in Australia's best 11 players. His only opportunity to impress came in the second game of the three match series.
The fastest ball which Lee produced against Pakistan was a relatively slow 147.3kph and he only exceed 145kph with 4 of his 60 legal deliveries. A worrying sign came early for Lee when he conceeded 3 wides in his first over, two of those balls above 145kph. But although it was never going to be Lee's day for setting any speed records, he performed admirably and was far from disgraced. Lee ended the day with 2 for 44, both wickets coming in an inspired burst during his fourth over.
If Lee was to get into the 150kph+ range during this series, then realistically he needed to play in all three matches. Brett Lee's pace is different to Shoaib's in that Lee needs a few competitive matches under his belt before he really hits top gear. For instance, in the three Test series against New Zealand last year, it took him until the third match before he moved into the 'express lane' recording 154.5kph and he continued in the vein throughout the following 4 months of cricket. Lee's speed culminated in producing the 157.4kph and 157.3kph deliveries in March 2002 which temporarily knocked Shoaib off top spot in the pace race. Lee has never bowled at "99.4mph" (159.97kph) as more than a few recent reports have suggested.
Brett Lee usually builds up speed as a match progresses and in individual overs he customarily bowls his fastest balls in ball numbers 4 to 6. Shoaib on the other hand exceeds 150kph regardless of whether he has had a break from the game and often his fastest speeds come during his first twelve balls of a match.
Shoaib Akhtar came into this series as the 'world champion of speed', the unofficial world record holder and in the best form of his life. He left with his reputation enhanced and their is no disputing that Shoaib Akhtar is the fastest bowler in the world.

yaar, here's a simple and easy way:
If you are converting from Miles to Kms then multiply by 8/5
And if you are converting from Kms to Miles then multiply by 5/8
For example, 100 miles = 100 x 8/5 kms = 160 kms.
no one can beat the Rawalpindi Express…
he’s simply unmatched

Everyone shut up about Akhtar, I wanna see Afridi bowl fast. Didn't he bowl stingy medium pace in domestic and he was quite successful.
^ afridi fast?
naaa... he should stick with how he bowls right now...

Brother, you should check with the moderator of this forum as why he deleted my post. I had replied to you in detail.
So next time you ask me something better keep refreshing your thread because one minute it is there, next it is gone.
