Who was faster on average – Michael Holding or Ollie Robinson?

No, but if you wanted you could get the roughest of estimates just by comparing footage, even using a spurious methodology. Said methodology would prove these figures wrong quite easily, imo as they're not even in the right ballpark.

Wouldn't comparing footages be even more inaccurate? As they were almost obviously filmed at a different FPS?

Yeah it's innacurate, but gives you a ballpark, unless the footage itself was actually sped up or slowed down.

And the point isn't to get a number. The point is to see who could/couldn't possibly be faster than others.

Does this count? If not, why?

Ultimately, 8 balls in a net using dusty ass tech proving that Jeff Thompson couldn't possibly bowl faster than Roger Telemachus (yes he was clocked at 148) is laughable lunacy.

The point isn't to get a number but a range, because the methodology has an inherently high degree of imprecision.

Ultimately I don't compare a hard and fast measured number (like those which were measured for Lee and Akhtar), to an imprecise range. Does that make sense?

Apparently not for now, but pretty sure it will when you do a practical comparison and provide us that

**** that, I already hate this thread.
