This dude Holder is a pathetic captain. Can't even utilize Bishoo effectively

There will be no demons in the pitch until late day 3 imo. WI have the clear upper hand - they can score 400+ in first innings.

Good work Hamilton, now double it.

Streak, Blignaut, Olonga and Friend were all seriously quick at their fastest. All of them would've delivered balls in excess of 145. You mentioned Olonga as being "well short of it" -- and he was later in his career, but when he started he was a tearaway.
Jarvis was actually a 140 bowler when he first hit the scene as well (he was rubbish though
).
Panyangara was reasonably quick as a kid too, but more last 130s I'd say.

Shingi Masakadza and Brian Vitori had a season each where all the moons aligned and there were bowling early 140s at top pace too, but it was short-lived for both of them.

I actually think Jarvis is a better bowler now that he is half a yard slower, less loose balls.

Has an WI in history hit 140 or in the current team ??

Oh yeah definitely. It's no contest. He was horrible when he first debuted.

I'm 99% sure he meant Zimbabwe rather than Windies. Makes a lot more sense in the context of the post.

Allegedly roughed up Jeet Raval with his extreme pace in his first two or three overs last year, but we only have Zimbabweans on another forum to vouch for that.
Visit the NZ domestic thread and ask nzfan to post the video of it for you. There's maybe a 1% chance you won't be disappointed by what you see.

yeah i did mean zim not win in that pace comment
and thanks weldone for posting that vid, appreciate it. found it really hard to find a stream of this yesterday. hamilton can really smack a cricket ball. they said it was his second test ton against the windies, the last time being in 2001 at 17 playing alongside Grant Flower against a side featuring Carl ****ing Hooper. That's a lifetime ago
And man Shannon Gabriel again being denied a wicket due to a no-ball. Someone has to sit him down and straighten him out it can't be that hard to stop this(had Hamilton caught off a bouncer at 15 but he overstepped)
Look forward to Kyle Hope's first test fifty today

Easier said than done. Windies are prone to collapses and Zimbabwe aren't too bad at home. I back this to be a competitive game.
