The thing to understand on fastest balls in cricket is that we didn't always have speedometer when other tear away fast bowlers like Geoff Thomson of Australia, Allan Donald of South Africa or even Michael Holding and Malcom Marshall of West Indies bowled in their prime. Also, speedometer is known to have defects, that it reflects different readings in different climates (a fast bowler may appear slower in Indian contidition that he will at Aussie or kiwi venues).
Meanwhile, it is widely accepted that Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan bowled the fastest ball in cricket, clocking 161.3 kmph which is almost 100.2 miles per hour. Brett Lee once touched 160.7kmph mark too.
Baba Rayees
It is shoaib Akther with 161.3 fallowed by tiat with 161.1 kmph lee 160.7 bond has also bowled 160kmph
Iqrar Hussain
one thing i clear to you that Shaun Tait didn't bowl over than 161 kmph in his carrier his fastest bowl is 160.8
dinesh
Mohammad sami bowled 164kmph to Dravid in a match....its in Youtube also
Abhinay Kumar
It is Shoaib Akther of speed 161.3, in world cup 1999. till now, this record is not broken by anyone else. last year Brett lee said that to bowl at the speed of 100 miles was his aim, from then he did not play many matches. 100.2 miles is the fastest ball recorded in the cricket history.
Noushi
It is Zaheer Khan at speed of 170.4kmph (108.6mph) 1st match, Match: ICC Cricket World Cup, Group B. 4th ball.
Saleem
The most ridiculous answer is that of Noushi. Zaheer, to my knowledge hardly bowled any thing above 145kmph, leave aside 170 kmph. I think it is the Great Shoaib Akhtar who crossed 161 kmph or 100 mphr
Aditya Vikram
however brett lee doesn't bowl as fast as shoib akhtar but his bowling style is more affective on every batsman and he's more smart than shoib akhtar.
Zia
Noushi...??> Are you sure...? Zaheer never bowled ove 148 kmph...
Axel blaze
Here is the truth. 5 fastest deliveries bowled by bowlers in international cricket =
Shoaib Akhtar = speed-161.3 kmph/100.2mph, in 2003 world cup against England at Durban.
Brett lee = speed-160.8kmph in 2005 bileteral series against New zealand at Napier.
Shaun Tait = speed-160.7kmph, in 2010t20 bileteral series against Pakistan at Melbourne.
Jeffery Thompson = speed-160.4kmph, in 1975 against West indies at Perth.
Andy Roberts = speed-159.5kmph, in 1975 against Australia at Perth.
Shahid diya
Md Sami in test match against India on 22 March 2005 bowled 161.9kmph delivery, faced by Rahul Dravid.
Farhan
Muhammad Sami = speed 162.7 kmph = 100.9mph.
VinuBhaskar
In my opinion the fastest bowler in India is now Umesh Yadav. He has bowled consistantly at speeds ranging from 145kmph to 152kmph during the Trination one day tournament in Australia in 2012 and the only other indian bowler capable of doing this is Varun Aaron and I don't know why he is not included in the indian squad for Australia tour in 2012
Nadeem
Noushi is right! Its Zaheer Khan's 170.8k/s against Bangladesh. Its on Youtube! :)
HEMANT
THE FASTEST BALL IS 164kmph BY SHAUN TAIT
Jijo
watch the 4th ball of this over http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vye1SQHoGdg Zaheer Khan at his best.
charles rayapati
In my reconing, the fastest ball recorded must be akhthar's 100.2. next comes lee or shaun who clocked 158+ regularly. zaheer bowl at 170 or sami at 164 is a fluke. you may have love for pacers of your region or choice, but accept the reality. when the greats of colipso or safaris must have clocked better but never recorded. however dale steyn is the best pacer with a great result in the longer and malinga in the shorter and bond over all are the real representatives of fast bowling in the inter national arena.
AJEET
THE FASTEST BOWL BY MICHAEL HOLDING 164. SOMTHING
Mohammad Iftikhar
It is by shoaib akhter to Nick knight in Worldcup 2003 group match. The ball was 161.3 Kph (100.2 Mph). Brett Lee bowled 161 Kph too in a match in Newzealand. Shaun Tait bowled 100.1 Mph ball to Craig Kieswetter in a match against England in 2010. Now if anyone saying that zaheer bowled 170 Kph ball, then he/she should go to hospital for a check up. It was just a speed machine mistake. We often see these sort of mistakes in cricket. Zaheer never bowled above 150 Kph. A big joke. No one else clocked 160 kph mark till now including sami, andy roberts. Can't say this about Jeff Thompson, i have heard that he bowled a 100 miles ball in 1975 but it is not proved bcoz we don't have speed guns in those old maches.
karthik
I totally agree with Mohd.Iftikar.. wat u said is right.. Shoaib 161.3kmph Lee 161kmph Tait 161.1kmph
Puneet
The youtube clips of Zaheer & Sami are there but those are not the correctly measured by the speedometer due to which it is never counted in the fastest balls.... Analyst check the speed with speedometer & with ultra slow motion.....
rohit
Its morne morkel 173 the fastest ball
