There was one of those ECB/NatWest "Test your speed and win ODI tickets" inflatable net thingies in Southampton city centre last year at one point, and I had a go on it. You got three deliveries to hit the stumps, and if you hit the stumps you went into the prize draw for tickets.
Bowled my first two deliveries as off-breaks, and without having warmed up, was clocked at 35mph and 36mph respectively. The last one I bowled medium-pace, and was clocked at 42mph, IIRC. That one was the only one that hit the stumps, as well.
Pretty confident my off-breaks could reach 40-42mph when I'm bowling well though, and my mediums, maybe 50mph at a stretch.

This is funny, because I was measured just the other day with a speed gun and it came out around 68mph. However, I have some serious doubts on that.

According to Ian Pont's book the average first XI club fast bowler bowls at 70-77mph
I was very surprised when reading this, I had doubts, I would have said more 65-70mph.. but he could well be right...

I don't know how fast I would bowl. I am guessing around between 70-110 kph mark. Does this sound right to you?

I'd be surprised if you were bowling 110km's at 13 years old.

I don't know how fast I am, I was just guessing 7kph+

I don't really know... I'm more of an Mph man than a Kph one.. 90mph is like the holy grail of fast bowling
But as your 13 I would guess you bowl in the low 60's (mph).. But I may be wrong ??

I doubt that, it would have to be a pretty special 13yo to bowl over 60mph.I don't really know... I'm more of an Mph man than a Kph one.. 90mph is like the holy grail of fast bowling

That's a pretty wide mark.

It won't let me edit this, but I was meant to say 70kph rather than 7kph.

So that would be around 45mph.

Probably. I could bowl faster than 70kph, I said 70+.So that would be around 45mph.
