AMERICAN'S REACT TO 10 FASTEST BOWLS IN CRICKET HISTORY || REAL FANS SPORTS

[@kartikyadav4603]

The thing with bowling and throwing in baseball is that, in cricket they can't bend their arm (can't throw the ball) instead they have to roll their arm over without bending, that is the reason baseball pitchers gets 100mph but its not easy in cricket.

The "Full Toss" that lands on the batter's feet is called a "Yorker". An actual "Full Toss" doesn't land at all but arrives at the Batsman in the air, usually at around the level of the shin (for an attempted "LBW") The "Yorker" is a great weapon to have as it forces the Batter to move his feet (against his will) and destroy his rhythm. A rule of thumb, and something that every teenager learning to drive a car knows, is that 160 km/h is 100 mph. Every teenager remembers that first time that they clocked the Speedo at 160.

[@benmummery2272]

Yorker - right at the batsman’s feet. Starc bowls an excellent Yorker. Usually when the ball is full of a length like that it won’t come up much off the deck, that’s the idea. You’re trying to either trap the batsman through his guard or on the pads for lb. Englishman here, so no pleasure in saying this but Starc is one of the form bowlers in test cricket at the moment.

[@patrickgough9806]

Mitch Starc is the only one on this list still playing - currently 34 years old and has been an integral part of Australia's bowling attack (alongside Cummins, Hazlewood and Lyon) for the best part of the last decade, who combined have taken 1470 wickets between them! Starc (358 wickets) is currently sitting 4th all time behind Warne, McGrath and Lyon for most wickets in test matches by an Australian. For context as well - Mitch Johnson is 6th (313 wickets), Brett Lee is 7th (310 wickets), Hazlewood is 9th (273 wickets) and Cummins is 10th (269 wickets). A great video to react to would be Mitchell Johnson's 37 wickets in the 2013/14 Ashes series (37 wickets in 5 matches!!!) Some of the most aggressive, intimidating bowling you'll see from the last decade.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

Shane Bond was an incredible bowler, with a career shortened by injury and playing in a rebel league for a while which disqualified him from international games for that period. He was fast and accurate. He was also one of the few who never had any questions about the legality of his bowling action(typically being an issue with bowlers bending their arms). Definitely the biggest "what could've been" in NZ cricket. He averaged a wicket every 21-22 runs in test & ODI cricket, which is incredible. He was even better against Australia in ODIs, which was especially popular here. His fastest recorded delivery was also 156.4, not 153. They also quite often swung, and swung late.

[@richardn8073]

Because they're bowling, the cricket pitch or wicket can be fast or slow. For example, in Australia the pitch in Perth, Western Australia, is notoriously very fast, and gets lots of bounce. In the 1970s the West Indian cricket team had 4 of the best fast bowlers ever, and on a fast wicket they were almost unplayable. Whereas in India the pitches tend to be slower but the ball spins and turns massively, creating a different challenge for the batsman.

A yorker is a delivery pitched up at the batsman's toes & a bouncer is a ball pitched at a bit shorter at length & speed by the bowler so he can get the elevation...bowler's will change up each ball bowled in their over e.g. speed & length to confuse the batsman

[@Stephens_Rocket]

You asked for a Starc compilation - have a look at this set of yorkers v=24WAzwcJQh4 You mentioned that Starc's ball didn't bounce much and you're right that it was because it was full, so the angles mean it won't rise up so much (unless the pitch is dangerous and the ball hits a crack in the ground or something) - in fact Starc is well known for this particular delivery, the yorker, it's why he's taken so many wickets. When a yorker misses the mark it's easy to hit for runs though so it's high risk and can sometimes be expensive, which is why not everyone does it.

[@WilliamMacdonald-bd7pv]

[@Rassskle]

Good to see Andy Roberts in there, but his bowling partner, Whispering Death ( Michael Holding ) was much quicker. Also from the West Indies was the great Wes Hall.....as fast as Thompson and maybe quicker but from the 1960's and black n white tv / newsreels. The quickest i ever saw was Dennis Lillee in 1971 / 72. Much quicker than Thompson , but caused fractures in his spine.....fast bowling tears the spine and back to pieces. The Lillee we all remember is after he let his spine and back heal, and then his freakish comeback at a reduced pace, but so accurate and often unplayable. Batsman combated Lillee by refusing to play at the ball unless it was going to hit the stumps.....because he was so quick, most balls were always going to bounce too high to ever hit the stumps, unless overpitched ( bowled too full ).

[@benmummery2272]

A great recommendation for an aggressive spell of fast bowling would be Alan Donald vs Mike Atherton, late 90s ish? 2005 Brett Lee to Kevin Pietersen another at the Oval, or more recently, Mark Wood at Headingley to Khawaja and Marnus in the Ashes (I think Woods slowest ball of his spell was 93mph!)

[@arshgill7608]

Brett Lee was the most consistent with fast bowling, He clicked 160kmph+ 9 times in his career more than any other fast bowler on this planet.

[@JontyBlue67]

Great reaction. I do love the fast bowlers, but the best are the fast and accurate bowlers. From that list I would take out Tate and Thompson (though I love both dearly) Johnson had good and bad periods over his career, Starc, Roberts, Akhtar, and Lee were consistent in speed and accuracy over their entire careers. The other group of interesting mid - fast bowlers are the very tall, like Joel Garner, Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie, Cameron Green, they are not express but their height gives the ability to deliver the ball at an angle that is not easy to play. These guys were usually extremely consistent in accuracy and got a majority of wickets from the batsmen becoming frustrated with not scoring causing them to play much riskier shots, normally ending in the fall of their wicket.

[@TheDegan79]

How can you leave Thomo out??? Blasphemy. The video isn't about who had long career's.....

[@GDM22]

​@@TheDegan79 Yeah agreed, at his peak Thommo was brutal. Given the vast majority of his bowling was never timed, I personally wouldn't be surprised if he was the quickest bowler of all time.

[@lepukeko966]

There is another aspect to the recording of speed in bowling. The equipment divides the length of the pitch, by the time the ball takes to travel it. As we all know, the fast way from point a to point b is a straight line. A cricket bowl is anything but a straight line. So, depending on factors like the height of the bowler, and how full it is pitched, the ball travels a lot further that the actual length of the pitch. In comparison, a baseball pitch is a lot closer to a straight line. A cricket ball’s actual speed will be considerably faster then what the speed gun shows.

He ends up (unknown to him) with a broken rib but finishes off facing the over in the nets in front of a large gallery of cheering Aussies.

Lee and Akhtar were the most consistently fast with accuracy but as for the fastest ever Thompson is arguably the fastest .

He used to say he didn't know where it was going to go so what hope did the batsmen have . As for comparing baseball to cricket a base ball is considerably lighter and softer than a cricket ball so obviously the base ball pitcher is going to generate more speed.

The consensus is that the fastest was probably Jeff Thompson in his prime. He was a tad faster than any of the West Indians. The speed gun tech was rare at the time and they really only measured his speed later in his career after he had slowed down slightly. With speed if it's a bouncer it will tend to register as slower - it's just they way the angles work with the measurements - slightly shorter people with lower flat deliveries will often register as a bit faster than those deliveries from taller men or bouncers - like I said just the angles the tech measures the balls speed at.

[@johncollum1046]

There used to be an unspoken convention that fast bowlers didn't bowl bouncers at other fast bowlers. A bouncer being a fast ball pitched short so it would bounce up and come at the batsmen at head height. They knew that when they in turn were in to bat the bowler they bowled bouncers to would give it back to them and then some. Bowlers tend to be poor batsmen and are less able to look after themselves as far as fending of bouncers. In the old days there were no helmets and the batsmen just wore caps so there was the possibility of serious head injury. The introduction of helmets changed things.
