Hard to imagine anyone ever being as fast as Akhtar. Pre injury Thomson maybe the only one I can believe was.

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

Akthar and likely Thommo were fastest in terms of peak they can reach.
Brett Lee and Tait more consistently fast.

that speed destroys your body and doesn't actually gain you anything, look at Bret Lee, constantly reached 95mph but the 85 mph Stuart Broad was an infinitely more successful career and an objectively better bowler

It's been 21 years since he did it.

Akthar himself admits Mohammed Zahid was a yard quicker than hiim

Akthar quicker through the air, Zahid quicker off the pitch.

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
