fastest bowlers in new Zealand right now?

Nice 3/24 for Matthew Fisher today

He's building himself a nice LIST-A record there. Long may it continue....

 

[thundaboult]

He got movement too, I think he played in England. Could be wrong though.

He did a bit. Bairstow played the innings of a lifetime that day. Billings was good too. I remember matt henry bowling quite quickly against billings too in that game.

 

[thundaboult]

Kuggiline(sp) was the other guy I was thinking of, he's rapid can bat a bit too.

Lot of potential but hasn't made it click on the international level consistently, same as blair tickner. Has had numerous chances but I can see them giving him a run again if he catches form again.

I can't see why Tickner got the call up to the current test squad looking at his numbers unless he had a particularly good season, would of thought he is well down the list.

He's no up and comer. He's a please go and ****-offer.

Ok thought he was decent, bowled quick and a few runs there to

He looks better than his results, which are good but not top FC bowler. He and Doug Bracewell are sorta proof our average standard of bowler is better than 20 years ago.

Lockie bowls the fastest ball of IPL 2022, and perhaps in all of cricket since lee and akhtar retired + tait's decline.

He is so much fun to watch in full flow, is genuinely scary and definitely an enforcer for us. Can't wait to see him in Aus later this year. I'm sure this feat of his will go un-noticed even though it happened in an IPL final. Umran Malik or any other indian bowler can bowl one ball at 150 and it will be talked about for the next 300 years all day everyday. Keep doin ya thang Lockie. Champions endure.

not in the test plans though because it's his fault we debuted him at perth in the middle of summer after weeks of 12th man duties.

im willing to bet real money michael bracewell plays more tests than lockie ferguson.

Didn’t Starc hit 160 in a test match against NZ?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Who cares, speedgun readings are all made up.

 

[Daemon]

Wonder what the error margin is on those things.

that was a test match where the speedgun showed southee sending down a couple zingers at 150

life isn't fair

would be nice to see sears or fishy send down some thunderbolts in the near future...preferably in test match cricket

It looked it though. Starc was bowling obscene pace in that spell, consistently in the 150's, so it wasn't a huge outlier or anything like with Southee's bowling. I'd say Starc has a slight edge over Lockie in terms of really cranking up the pace when they want to.

All I wear now are black sneakers. Thank you Lockie, you're an inspiration

ah yes, that insane spell lays more credibility on that 160km reading for sure....i also remember one at 155.4 takin a chunk outta mccullums bat

Not to mention the 2 edges that exploded through the slips hands. Honestly think the only other spell that I've ever seen that compares in terms of raw pace was Akhtar at the Basin in 2003 when he bowled NZ out for a hundred on a complete road. Taylor's 290 often gets written down as being made on a highway, but he deserves enormous credit for withstanding Starc that day as that's the sort of bowling that has routinely made NZ collapse in a heap over the years.

Hmm I don’t think Starc is quicker than Lockie now even if he tries. He’s had a couple of injuries and changed his action.

Quickest in the world probably Lockie, Nortje, Umran and Wood atm.
