Cricket's 10 Fastest Bowlers - Who are they?

simmy

International Regular
Just wondering which names come up along with the obvious?

This can be in domestic and international cricket.

A few to get started:

Akhtar
Lee
Harmison
Flintoff
Bond (shamefully never seen him bowl to be honest)?
Sami

Think I've got the obvious ones.. who else? Would someone like Simon Jones make the list?

I saw Bond yesterday bowl a ball @ 150kph, impressive indeed

Larwood?

I don't think you can leave Flintoff off the current lists any more. And I reckon he can bowl quicker!

If we're talking pace alone Nantie Hayward would have to be up there too. Seems to have been out of favour in SA test-wise since he withdrew his services to play county cricket.

EDIT: Ooops. See he's already been mentioned. Will the jury please disregard my last statement! :D
