I might be wrong as I am only going on the one game in which I've seen him bowl. I saw McMillan and Wilson bowling at North Harbour Stadium and Wilson was quicker.Voltman said:

When was that?
McMillan has only been back playing this season after nearly a season and a half off.
I doubt McMillan and Wilson played with each other prior to this season.

Although, I had left my speed gun at home.

Bryce, I assume he is the only R. Sherlock in the CHCH club competition. Maybe he is going along the same lines as Bond and doing the club batting thing until he can bowl again.
I have only heard on forums that he has injured himself. I have never seen an "official press" article mentioning him being injured. I assume since Canterbury lured him to CHCH that he would be playing if he were fit. Clearly, he isn't.
Maybe they should get all the young fast bowlers into the surgeon for titanium vertebrae wrapping in anticipatation of injuries assuming Bond's bionic man solution succeeds.

I saw Te Ahu Davis at the under-19s and he didn't look that quick. He did however have an awesome slower ball, dismissed 2 Indian batsman in hilarious style.

I saw his slower ball wickets on replays. Reminded me a bit of Chris Cairns vrs a number of victims over the years.

yeah well he hasn't got any press because his cricket hasn't got alot of press eitherrogerramjet said:Bryce, I assume he is the only R. Sherlock in the CHCH club competition. Maybe he is going along the same lines as Bond and doing the club batting thing until he can bowl again.

In cairns' last test series in england he was pushing in the late 80's, which was far more than tuffey and martin who were more like late 70/early 80's. Whether those speeds were injury related i don't know. I get that feeling that cairns can still crank it up every now and then body permitting.
Interesting observation....but way off track!! i just simply think hes quick!!Kent said:Butler would've had the bulging disc in his back, of course.
Tell me crickey, you're not a friend of McMillan's are you? Interesting that you made your debut post in this thread, three weeks after it would've slipped off the first page.
I was talking to the girlfriend of a FC cricketer the other day - she said she was blown away that people were actually discussing his efforts when she 'ego searched' his name on google. I started to feel quite uneasy, knowing exactly which site that was!

Yes McMillan was brilliant in that game. 1 for 65.
Overall FC stats :
Wilson 123 wickets at 24.60
McMillan 29 at 35.24

Martin can bowl 140k/86-87mph. I don't know what happened in that England series. For a while there I suspected they were turning the radar down when the New Zealanders were bowling and cranking it back up again for the English. Oram, Tuffey and Martin were all around 80mph, but can regularly bowled 83-85mph.twctopcat said:

As much as I want to.......I find both those statements extremely difficult to believeTim said:
Dayle would say something like that to justify his existance, how long has he fronted the bowling academy now? For what results? He will need to be held accountable soon. Much as I rever the Hadlee name we cant let them slip into cruisy roles in our administration.
Especially as they are a bloody minded family. Never forget that it was Walter Hadlee acting in an amateur and stubborn manner that prevented Glenn Turner playing a a full international career. Instead all that talent and run scoring went into county cricket! Ridiculous!!
All the man wanted was to be treated like a pro! Which he was!!Oh errrrrrr
We badly need some fast bowlers
Ya cant dibbly dobbly your way to test series wins

To be fair to Hadlee, I'm pretty sure he was taking Sherlock's speed straight from the SuperSport radar in SA. The ODs were televised there.
I wouldn't rule out Sherlock clocking that sort of speed, even if we do have to wait until his mid-20's for him to get his body right. Dennis Lillee said "he could be a Brett Lee" 18 months ago, and Shane Bond has taken him on as a quite a close friend and protege, so he does have a bit in his favour.
I guess people can look at Butler's lack of real impact and say the academy has failed NZ, but it's hard to think of many other young bowlers in the world who have a more obviously-coached action. If anything he's too mechanical, with the only consistent movement he gets through the air being reverse-swing with the white ball.
A lot of Aussies are raving about Shaun Tait, but to me it looks like a coach hasn't touched him since he was 5. If he goes on to be a great bowler, is that good luck or good management?
