Yeah, exactly. Australia would do well to keep in mind that their most successful fast bowler (in terms of wickets taken) was hardly express.I agree it's being overrated. I've got the feeling alot since Lee and Tait now australia seems to put too much just on being quick. Other countries don't seem to do this as much. We even have people pressing for Tait to play tests even though they accept and acknowledge he can barely get through a 5 over spell, has no interest in playing tests, admits himself he can't handle it and sprays the ball all over the place.
AWTA. Been thinking that all summer.Have they changed the radars this season (to go with the changed graphics?)
In the past the likes of Johnson, Harris, and Siddle when the mood takes have been 140s, pushing in to the 150s.
Anderson has been in the 140s and Broad is a bit like Siddle- sometimes 130s/140s, occasionally borderline express and pushing 150.
Throughout this series EVERYONE seems to be fully 10kph down on pace. Must be the radars.
Better than 2001 when the radar gun was curiously not switched in in England every time Lee bowledFinn and Broad noticeably have even bowled a number of balls in the 120s, both were more 140kph when timed in England
