Possibly but Morkel posted 91mph earlier in the match so it concerns me just how fast some of those must have been travelling.

Yeah but you dont comment on how Steyn is express and how pacey that delivery was in the cricinfo commentary if he is infact bowling 135 clicks. Thats like Chris Martin's pace. Maybe just replace the 3 with a 4 and it sounds better.

But morkel CAN bowl beyond 150!!! so thats 94 mph++

I think teh speed guns at least off by 3kms. maybe upto 5-6?

The difference between the bowling of the 2 sides showing up here.

Not much up untill now.... we are 248/6 and they were 262/6

the difference to come into picture from now onwards though

 

[Cevno]

Just shows how well Sachin did to survive the Steyn spell early morning.

I think he means the difference in quality rather than the difference it's made to the match.

5? 10 at least. Steyn is bowling like a demon here.

Yep.

I see a difference in Steyn's bowling in this series compared to how he bowled in WI and Ind. There he was more a Donald sort-of out-and-out attacking bowler pitching a hell load up at 145 kph resulting in some extremely low totals but also some times he was dealt with with ease. This series he's been McG than Donald, i.e. bowling length and destroying batsman by exploiting their technical weaknesses with some seaming balls too good to be true. There has not been an Innings in this series where he has been anything short of brilliant. WAFG. What a kallisballer!

That would put Morkel at a good 97-99mph.

Dunno if Steyn's bowling ultra-fast. In any case that isn't what's making him unplayable.

 

[shankar]

21 men playing Kallisball. 1 playing Bhajjiball.

 

[Spark]

That is the strangest shot I've seen in a long time.

Harbhajan Playing as if it was the last over of a T20 game here.

 

[Uppercut]

Haha that can't be intentional, surely, not with third man in place.

Don't assume they're consistent though. It could be that for some reason it's just Steyn it's having issues with.

 

[Teja.]

No way is there a 10 kph difference. I refuse to believe that Ishant Sharma was bowling at 148 kph.

Yea
i meant 5-6 MPH**
my bad, i accidently wrote kms.
so thats about 10 kms max haha
probably 5-7 kms?

 

[Cevno]

Steyn gets more Skid from the wicket though,compared to Morkel who bangs it in from a Height.

Different bowling ends maybe a factor...Steyn's is definitely off by at least 5-8 clicks it seems.
