Nannes bowling consistently touching 150? Surely speedos are wacked out there, or just that I am seeing one of the best pace displays of recent times.

Whenever I've seen Nannes bowl (IPL) he bowls this pace. Always seen him bowling 150-odd.

What were Lee and Akhtar's respective high speeds??

I was most perturbed by Gul consistently bowling 146-147, he hasn't got near that all season in NZ or Australia.

This debate was already done in another thread but I sincerely believe some radars are friendlier than others.

0.3 Tait to Imran Farhat, no run, 160.7 kph! Phew, full outside off and Farhat reaches out to drive and he misses

If that's true........

100 mph = 160.9 kph.
So far, only Shoaib Ahktar hit 100 mph, right?

The one I read about was against NZ in 2002 in Pakistan

I do however distinctly recall that he bowled a 160kph plus ball at the 03 WC and it was a back of a length ball to Nick Knight. It was over 160kph but not sure if it was over 100mph (160.9). I know it was celebrated as some kind of first, not sure if it was the first 100mph, or the first 160kph+ on the basis that the Pakistan radars were just assumed to be dodgy.

Lee's fastest was allegedly to Craig Cumming in NZ in 04/05 but I don't remember it at all.

160.9kph isn't actually over 100mph. It's rounded up to 100mph, but it's only 99.98mph.

Akhtar's fastest was in fact 161.0kph. Hence:
