Cricket: Test Cricket

[killadoob]

actually Lee has gone over the 160 mark i remember watching it, just to confirm though.

During this 2003 World Cup, Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan sent down the fastest delivery ever recorded in cricket: a 161.3 Kph or 100.2 mph thunderbolt, the second time he has broken the 100 mph barrier, standing alone as the 100 mph man of cricket, while Brett Lee of Australia followed him closely at 160.7/99.8 mph -- frustratingly close but not across the 100 mph mark.

Ahhh, it feels so good to be South African right now.

Well done to the Proteas. Hopefully there won't be any rain tomorrow [or holds off long enough for us finish off the Aussies].

Here's to us taking the series 3-0.

They also said brett lee threw the ball.

Surprised they have not said anything about the turbinator.

 

[krycor]

[Good Life]

Malinga from Sri-Lanka is another candidate...

If you are talking about Signh of india, he has been called and had to have his action tested.

Wasn't that at Newlands? I recall being at a game and I think Shoaib went for the record and got it??? If not at Newlands then I must have seen it on tv

@ Good Life, If people can throw faster than bowl, please throw a 100 miler for us

Only know him as the turbinator, so basically any decent bowler gets accused of throwing these days

Terrible news!!!

My landlady's duel-view decoder has gone bust and was taken in by the repair shop. They lent her a single-view decoder but this means that I can't watch the cricket tomorrow morning.

The only thing I can do is to follow Supersport's live scoring on their website.

 

[Smurfatefrog]

Cant you still get her feed?
Ask her nicely to leave it on 202 when she goes to bed
