Who is the fastest bowler?

Is it Bret Lee of Australia or Shoiab Akhtar of Pakistan?

The ONE and ONLY Rawalpindi Express aka Shoaib Akhtar.

shoaib akhtar has been recorded at over 100 mph…

Shoaib, by some way Shoaib.

Shoaib Akhtar, is the fastest ever, Brett Lee is way behind him.

I agree with umair. can't compare Lee with Shoib. Shoib is way too fast...

They're both damn quick. Lee is fast, Shoaib is a bit faster.

Thanks for the replies :).

I thought so too, it was Shoiab Akhtar.

But as I was searching through some sites, it said it would remain Unofficial. Because some sites would say Lee is the fastest, and others would say Shoaib.

My question is,

who is the better bowler? whos been killing batsmen more?

the only thing i hate living in Canada is not being able to follow cricket :crying:

It will always remain "unofficial" bcz ICC does not put approved speed guns in the grounds and so can't decide one way or the other on the speed of bowlers.

The problem with Shoaib's fastest delivery was that it was in Pakistan, and at that time, the main speed gun on the ground was not working, and he was recorded in another one. The Company claims, its as reliable, but it just gave that enough ammunition to the distractors to doubt the result.

Given a choice, I will tend to say that Shoaib is faster than Lee on a given day. Depends on conditions (winds and ground) and fitness of both bowlers.

Do you think Lee is scared of Shoaib in this article or just being smarthttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/cwc2003/hi/newsid_2730000/newsid_2731900/2731965.stm

Whatever the case is …i think shoaib shouldn’t try to bowl REAL FAST though he gets wickets most of time against aussies like that but still he should concentrate on his line n length n not mere pace…setting speed records might make him happy but he can do that afterwards…first pakistan need to win the worldcup

shoaibe babay is the fastest premier strike bowler on the gods green earth. it was proven against new zealand in karachi and whatever the world says ohh the speed gun was not working properly or whatever bulllll****ttttteee they through at us we know deep down that shoaib "actor" sorry akhtar is the fastest bowler on the planet.
