top 5 FASTEST balls in CRICKET 😲 AMERICAN REACTION

[@macman1469]

Australian international batsmen Phil Hughes was killed by a bouncer to the rear of the head/neck region. The ball is basically cork wrapped in leather, so it hurts when it hits you. Also trying to hit the batsmen while bowling -fast- is a legit tactic. You're not allowed to hit the batsmen above the hip with a full toss or make a bouncer rise above the batters shoulder height -while in batting stance.

[@PBMS123]

I swear cricket balls feel as hard as concrete, and they soun like concrete when you bounce them

[@justinbranch1026]

Mate only couple years ago Phil Hughes died he was hit in back of head by a bouncer very sad day for auzzie cricket mate.

[@cricketexplained8526]

It's worth pointing out just how brutal a task trying to bowl fast really is. Your back takes an absolute pounding and your feet too, and your knees don't come out of it feeling fresh either.

[@rocketrabble6737]

Everything suffers. How many games does a fast bowler play fully fit in a season? Most games they are bowling through 'niggles'.

[@cricketexplained8526]

@@rocketrabble6737 True.

[@benwooster4299]

The play stopped because the ball went straight to a fielder and the batsmen chose not to run. It’s called a dot ball (because it’s shown as a dot in the scorebook). No run scored, no wicket taken just another ball used up. This was a 5 day Test match, so the batters will be pretty defensive for long periods of time. For the first hour or two of the days play they’ll plan to just defend or leave as much as they can, and wait till the bowlers are tired and the ball gets old and a bit softer. Then scoring opportunities will come more easily and they’ll look to accelerate.

Hi Ryan, I just want to let you know I'm an Aussie and love watching you react. And would like you to react to one of our Australia's favourite cricketers SHANE WARNE THE BEST SPINNING BALL CRICKETER IN THE WORLD, who recently died. Shane is the best of the best ever to play cricket, bc of his amazing ability of spinning the cricket ball and getting everyone out. I will be watching and waiting with the rest of Australia as he was loved very very much ThankU.

[@vickigarvie4093]

Thanks for asking. I couldn't believe Shane wasn't even on that list but then remembered he was a spin bowler. Still find it sad that he's not with us any more.

[@HunterWinchester666]

WARNEY!!! I also agree with this request - Warne was not just a legendary spin bowler, he was also a master cricket strategist. I learned to bowl watching WARNEY - I'll always miss ya mate, rest in peace ❤

[@mickdonedee1]

160km/h delivery is rare. Generally, pace bowlers achieve low 150s. Most batsmen would not have time to play an attacking shot to a delivery at 160km/h.

[@OTDPlantagenet]

Jeff Thomson as far as I know, is the fastest bowler of all time. The thing is, he was bowling in the 70's before the measuring of speed was a thing. He was measured late in his career at 160.4kph but all his contemporaries agreed that he had lost at least 10kph by then, that was after his back operation. The other thing he is noted for is bowling bouncers that reached the boundary on the full. He did that at the SCG and he also did it at Perth. This is a ball, un-aided by hitting the bat, bouncing off the centre wicket, and reaching the boundary on the full. A feat which is truly remarkable.

[@mikesuahtla9826]

Thommo was only timed twice in his career and bowled over 160ks both times. Imagine how quick he would have been in 74 to 76 before he got injured. He would have been 170 plus. Clive Loyyd and Viv Richards both said he was the quickest but also the most frightening bowler they had faced

[@real1997]

Thommo fastest ever. Daylight second.

[@bigs1546]

Met Thommo and he was a delight - Lillee was a dick!

[@RightAllWays]

Jeff Thompson at his hay days was insane

[@haseebwaris6238]

I think its shoaib akhter 161.3 Jeff was a great man in his time

[@vickigarvie4093]

We have a great cricket song "We don't like cricket NO! WE LOVE IT!!!

[@mwwoggy]

There is no "best place to bowl to", the best placement of each ball bowled can vary depending on what the bowler is trying to get the batsman to do, what the batsman has been doing with the balls running up to that particular ball and what the overall strategy is by both the fielding team and the batting team. It also depends on the batsmen strengths and weaknesses playing certain length deliveries. Also, as you pointed out - those fastest balls were actually hit. Speed isn't everything, in fact, usually fast bowlers are easier to hit boundaries off of, because you can just let the pace of the ball carry it to the boundary, you just need to point it in the right direction. This vide you watched though, isn't great - the quality (I know some of the snips are from ages ago before HDTV), and the editing is terrible - they didn't even spell Mitch Starc's name correctly. Lastly - number 5 was Shoaib Akhtar being the 1st person to officially break the 100mph barrier. If I remember correctly, he did it twice in that same over He also holds the current record for the fastest ball ever bowled at 161kph (100.041mph)

[@HunterWinchester666]

I watching Brett Lee & Shoaib Akhtar going head to head each time they had to bowl to each other 😂

[@j-1159]

Full toss on the foot is called a Yorker

[@mikejames4648]

The worst that can happen with a cricket ball injury is a death, several cricketers have died after being struck in the head.

[@PBMS123]

Given Phil Hughes died from being hit in the back of the head, no you don't want to see a batsman get hit.

[@Tassiedevil287]

Look up Jeff Thomson the scariest bowler of all time.

[@mccorama]

The TV estimates are estimates not the official records....the official records come from the officials on the field They give you a rough sense of what's happening, but you always defer to the umpires/field

[@flamingfrancis]

They are all interconnected via the same measurement device. Today's devices are a lot more sophisticated than some here (Akhtar was over 20 years ago). Measurement devices are set up on perimeter fences roughly behind first slip and are fully automated as per a speed camera on a road. Umpires do not measure speeds. For Ryan's info. the radar like devices are what was originally used in MLB from 1974 and came into cricket two seasons later.

[@bilkees8151]

The pace bowlers are supposed to try to beat the batsmen and get them bowled out. But they can also be the most expensive as the pace means if the ball gets hit it can reach the boundaries faster.

[@kellyhorne4359]

Should look up cricket between Australia and nz through the years we've bowled underarm for the last ball, it's now illegal to underarm, and someone tried to use a aluminium cricket bat was forced to use a wooden, so he legit threw it right across the field😂

[@stanleywiggins5047]

You can't trust Google searches, I asked Google "how many movies did John Wayne & Morien O'Hara do together,?" They said 3 & only named 1... But I can name 5 off the top of my head. So yea.

[@4kays160]

These balls are so much harder than a baseball its not funny, you never want to see someone get hit ever, people die even with the helmet on..

[@catherinewilkins2760]

The cricket ball is very hard, can do some damage.

One video you may want to look at mate is "The Longest Border Fence on Earth (isn’t meant for humans)" by Johnny Harris. A good background to why it was built.

[@Semajsenrab72]

To appreciate what is going at you at 90mph, you need buy a cricket ball. This is cork ball, wrapped in twine, in 2 leather halves hand stitched, the lacquered for a couple of coats, it can break through the metal face guard, and often does, people do die on the field in this game. Was only the 80's / 90's helmets were adopted, the rest of the padding much later

[@Semajsenrab72]

Regarding aim, depends on what you are wanting to do

[@brosert]

The last one looked like it was called a "No Ball" (The umpire appears to be holding one arm out) - that might be why it doesn't appear as the fastest ball in the lists you're looking at - it wasn't a legal delivery.

[@shuvradeepdutta2931]

Actually the speedometer for that ball was at some defect it was later clarified by the officials of that match. So the fastest ball till date is of Sohaib Akhter at 161.3 kmph

[@data65au]

Do a search for Faith Coulthard (first Aboriginal to represent Australia internationally) There is a photo of one of her bowling, look where the wickets and bails went. before they measured the ball speed

[@SOHRABSWING]

In Cricket, the batter can choose to run or not after hitting the ball. Fast balls in Cricket are not necessarily the best deliveries because with 360 degree of field to score, a batter can use the pace of the ball to his advantage. It is also unfair to compare Baseball fast deliveries to Cricket because the latter requires an unnatural method of delivery instead of just throwing the ball.

[@abhinavashok3287]

React to Yuvraj Singh 6 sixes in an over!

[@arthurpearce8539]

No you don't want to see a batsman hit. It happens and a few years ago an Australian was hit on the back of the head just below the edge of the helmet. He died. There have been a number of deaths from playing Cricket. BTW were you aware that George Washington (yes Him) was a fan and admirer of Cricket. Baseball hadn't been created at that time

[@tomwareham7944]

Please dont wish they get hit players have been killed by a cricket ball to the head

[@brucelamberton8819]

re: fastest ball ever. They really only started timing the speed of deliveries in the last 30 or so years, so there were bowlers from previous eras who were faster than those shown here. The fastest of all time is generally considered to be Jeff Thomson possibly 110mph), and FrankTyson, Michael Holding and Malcolm Marshall were all extremely fast too.

[@tahirjutt3477]

You even don’t have 1 percent of cricket knowledge and you are reacting 😂😅

[@Someloke8895]

You don't need to do anything if you hit it. The batsman chooses what to do.

[@JJ-vy2rh]

Tried to hit a ball at 150km...

[@flamingfrancis]

If you have a craving for cricket I would not recommend starting out with videos such as this one. Try learning some basic Laws of the game and something about skills in batting. Fielding has very similar skills to baseball and you will find baseball coaches frequently employed in national cricket organisations. Delivery of ball (bowling) is totally different but modern trends is to use grips from long established pitching grips such as knuckleball.

[@alankohn6709]

Getting hit isn't funny players have died.

[@thewizardfletcher1272]

What kind of bruise. Well I hit a fella who wasn't wearing a box(cup) and his plums were literally plum colour and the size of a baseball. He couldn't shut his legs they were that tender lol and I only bowl 125kph not 155 lol

[@brucelamberton8819]

I got hit once on the inner thigh in a net session when I had just walked out and was still taking guard when the bloody bowler delivered the ball - took about 6 weeks for the bruise to disappear.

[@kanugopalganguly8031]

Watch- 'fire in Babylon ' They are 170+ kph bowlers .

[@flamingfrancis]

You can find the REAL bowling speeds with a search...fastest is nowhere near 170

[@waynec3563]

I doubt any of them were 160+, but they were certainly fast. Jeff Thomson was also not recorded at his peak.

[@rocketrabble6737]

You are pushing that too far! They were very quick but they were not not 10kph faster than Shoaib Akhtar, Shaun Tait and one or two others.

[@anthonymoore1705]

i would say jeff thompson was probably the fastest, even though there were no speed guns around when he bowled,

[@romanfedrich6967]

An Aussie called Jeff Thomson was caught on speed gun in the days when he partnered Dennis Lillee. Why, even the NSW Highway Patrol had those pesky little instruments in the '70s.

[@rocketrabble6737]

@@romanfedrich6967 They weren't really designed for measuring the speed of cricket balls were they?

[@rocketrabble6737]

Likewise, I still think that the fastest English bowler was probably Frank Tyson in the 1950s who for 3-4 years could shock anybody with the pace of some of his deliveries. But with the relentless grind of continuous cricket how do you maintain that?

[@anthonymoore1705]

@@rocketrabble6737 there's very little footage of frank bowling though, i could only find one clip of him, and if you didn't know how fast he was you would think he was a medium pacer with his action, it must of been sheer brute strength he used, probably why his career was quite short, larwood bowled 90 plus,
