I prefer Andy Roberts over Michael Holding. More skillful and just as quick in his prime.
Wisden has Roberts officially clocked at 159.6 kph
The Ten Fastest Bowlers In Cricket History
Different bowlers deploy different tricks against batsmen, like swing, seam and varying the pace, but perhaps the most effective is pure speed.

Roberts is in my top 15.Will say he is underrated if he doesn’t make the 20 tho.Seems like lindwall, Younis ,holding,Davidson will complete the 15.Would have Roberts ahead of holding but it’s close call.

According to Wisden in his debut series, Holding "had shown himself to be Roberts' natural opening partner and indeed was timed to be faster than Jeff Thomson , Dennis Lillee and Andy_Roberts...
Roberts over Holding is a very peculiar call imo, they played for the same team in the same era and Holding ended up with comfortably better numbers , clearly any skill advantage Roberts had was offset by something that Holding did better.

I value Gavaskar’s opinion.....
'Marshall, Imran, Hadlee just a bit below': Gavaskar names 2 bowlers he 'feared' the most, picks best batsman of his era
The former India captain was asked to name the two fast bowlers of his generation whom he 'feared', and Gavaskar mentioned names that shouldn't really come as a shocker.

Which is why peer ratings are taken with a grain of salt and in conjunction with looking at the numbersI value Gavaskar’s opinion.....
