I was going to say he'll get quicker as the series goes on but he's off to South Africa with the Aces come next week.
Think he did bowl a little faster later in the match (though the bowler running towards the camera can also look a little faster). Does get nice shape, no doubt about that. Boult and Wagner much more consistent today though.
