ill go for BS

im 15 and bowl regularly at the 67mph mark and topped 70 a few times.
But im inferior to a fellow Kent player who bowls regualry at 125kph or 75mph (or both, i dunno) he has topped 80mph..

143??

*watches pigs fly past again*
Im 15 & I got clocked at 127km at the AIS biomechanics thing.

However I regularly (in a match) I think Id be around 118-123 & Ive never faced anyone quicker my own age , so if Im bowling at 143 within 2 years I'll be damn happy.

That's like 89mph :O......I can smell the BS from here :P. Even if you were bowling that quick, surely that ain't medium-fast. Your average of 134 is mens pace at 17. Unless you're like T_C (he explained a while ago) then I find it VERY hard to believe.

Nice speed there David, im not even a regular bowler, just aim to keep it accurate if i do get a bowl see this is more believeable cos its seems plausible, the Kent play has gotten upto 84ph btw, thats 133(?)kph.

i AM medium-fast, Deeps, not almost 90mph, and you....if anything you are leftarm off break....


Anyway, moving on, still 1 place left in the CW teams?
wow, so many new recruits.. i best continue working in the nets..

Just add my bowling type:

Bowling type: Right arm medium

I have never been clocked, so I think that is my type of bowling. Well the 'keeper stand up to me.

i'm actualy 18 in december! 143.2 is my max speed...that doesnt mean i consistently bowl it...i can't ! i can only bowl around 133ish consistently... And let's just say i'm not the most accurate bowler...as my economy rate suggests :P

I captained the u/16 WA state team, but then i dislocated my shoulder badly playing footy wif my mates... I've only started to bowl again, a few months back! haha,i certainly hope my name will be up there in a few years time!

i dont play grade cricket atm, i still haven't FULLY recovered from my shoulder injury... I can't bowl much,i can only bowl 2-3 over spells... I'll prolly start next season again... but now my back playing up :(

i could only bowl 124.4 when i was 15! so u could become faster than me 'iamdavid'! Just go to the gym heaps and work the stomach and back and chest! works wonderS!

Hhhmmm , Im not doubting you're story here or anything , but if you only started bowling "a few months back" , then how could you get clocked at 143.2km/h "at the WAIS 6 months ago".

It just dosent seem to fit , by the way there is a guy called Brett Lee & after just checking a couple of minutes ago , he said he could bowl at around 135max when he was 17 , so I just wanted to congratulate you on you're status as the fastest 17 year old of all time.

Also I train with the ACT U17's & none of them get it above about 130 consistently.

Ahh , I beleive this is my 200th post:D

But work on your lower back strength as well and remodel your action if you have to. To in front of a mirror (slowly) and try extermenting in the nets and see if it works.

I have remodled my action 7 times in the last 18 months with the help of specialist coaches , due mainly to lower back injuries , I started out with the Shoaib Akhtar style action but now I just try & use my height rather than bowl to quick.

i just checked the dates, i started bowling agian 7 months ago, the speed gun was 4.5 months ago... when i sed 6,it was just a estimate,not exactly 6 months ago... my shoulder is ok now,it just needs to re-strengthen...so that it can take contionous pressure...so it won't affect my bowling speeds...just how long i can bowl for basicaly...but my speed decreases HEAPS after 2 or 3 overs...like,after 3 overs,i start bowling at 110! coz my shoulder hurts so mucH :(
