Australia's left-arm paceman Mitchell Starc has set a new record for the fastest ball ever sent down in Test cricket after he was clocked at 160.4 kilometres per hour during the third day of the second Test against New Zealand at Perth.

Former Pakistan pacemen Shoaib Akhtar still holds the record for the quickest delivery ever recorded during a one-day international against England in South Africa in 2003, which was measured at 161.3kph.

I thought it was Brett Lee at 160.8 ? That's what was said in the commentary box, with Lee standing in the back of the box.

Brett Lee broke the record in the 2003 world cup and one week latter Akhtar broke Lee`s record.
IN the IPL Morne Morkel was clocked at 173 kph

The gun wasn't calibrated correctly.
