    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    Any proof of him actually being super fast? It is quite normal for bowlers to praise their friends and colleagues TA Sekhar was called the fastest bowler in the world by Kris Srikanth in 1983 and even Holding said he was as quick as the WI pacers back then

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Joel Garner

    Dennis Lillee - The spearhead of his team who had a huge impact on fast bowling in general but he has quite a few holes in his record. Joel Garner - A well rounded and an almost perfect record and the toughest bowler to score runs against but he was always second fiddle

    It’s surprising that no one has touched 100mph with so much improvement in fitness and science techniques

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    This guy was not as fast as Tait. He bowled in late 140s and even touched 150+ and was just as erratic.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I forgot that I am a test batsman 😂

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Is this even a question? I would rather face Shane Warne than Shaun Tait
  17. DrWolverine

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    1. Sling action 2. No bouncer rule 3. Lack of protective equipment Apart from being one of the fastest ever, these three reasons are why Jeff Thomson is the most feared bowler.

    The Fastest Bowler ever?
