Martin Crowe seemed to think he was 23 when they toured New Zealand, don't know where he got that info from though.

Would make more sense. 151kph at 17 is out there.

42 overs from Merv as well.

Believe Lee and Shoaib were topping out around 145Km/h at that age. I know Tait was clocked at SACA training wheeling at 147Km/h when he was about to turn 18. Does seem unlikely he's 17, tbh, but not impossible.

Yea, 23 is very reasonable and I would not be surprised.

Wasim bowled 41.4 of 108 and Hughes 42 of 138. Brilliant stamina from both though.

Yeah. Puts paid to the idea you have to be slim to bowl lots (although, obviously, it helps a lot if you're light). Merv was fat but he was fit too, would bowl all day. Guys who are big but don't bowl big overs are just lazy.
That said, believe Merv's knee started playing up badly from around that match.

Regardless , if the legal age is 17 then its 17.....

How can anybody get their child's birth certificate so wrong by 6 years? I'm not disagreeing with you, but if he is 23, he looks a lot younger then 23!

Can do it behind closed doors but can't put it on the internet.
