*** the other day wangner took 5 wickets in one over, the covage was caught on a mobile phone camera so quailty was terrible. I have written many times to NZ TV asking them to have a show dedicated to nz domestic cricket. They all run down there to interview the guy, if only one channel had dedicated time to this comp. the crowds would have been there instead of 3 people...
but they just continue to fight over rugby... while domestic cricket dies a slow death.

Would you consider Tim Southee a 140+ bowler? He's basically the same as McKay, late 130's with the abiltiy to push into the early 140's.
140+ is constantly bowling quicker the 140K for good periods of time imo, not just cracking the mark once an over for example.

Nah, it was a proper video camera. The coaching staff hook them up on the side of sightscreen for video analysis at the end of the days play. It's a real shame the provinces don't upload a few highlights from there after each game imo.

Of course he is, that wasn't my point. There are a number of fast bowlers around the world who like McKay (and Southee was just an example) bowl in the late 130's and have the ability to push it through into the early 140's, that doesn't make them 140+ bowlers though. Rampaul's another example, as is Hilfenhaus. They'll hit 140K quite often but you don't see people labelling them 140+ bowlers.

Not sure why Wagner's pace matters tbh. I know the media and talkback are obsessed with pace and anyone who takes a few domestic wickets is automatically 140kph, but if Wagner can swing the ball at 135kph with accuracy then he will be fine in international cricket.
Him doing the above at pace would just be an added bonus.

I find it both hilarious and condescending that Southee is still labeled as "medium-fast".

Yeah, but Southee only occasionally breaks the 140 mark because he has generally been unfit. In the next couple of years don't be surprised if he gains a couple of ks. The useful thing about Wagner is that he swings the ball and he is a left arm bowler which adds variety to our attack.
BTW, anyone know of any legit fast bowlers in the 17-19 age range? I know Adam Milne is fast but dear i say it, injuries will be a big problem in that guys career.

Yep, shorter than McKay, with a hard charging run-up and quite a whippy action. You should be able to see the 5 wicket over at this page here.

In the west Indies I believe this is called a beaver trick. Windie Weathers to confirm.
any video link of that match? I m eager to see his bowling action and the way he turns the ball.
