  • No helmets. I would have worn a nappy.

  • @dilannaik007 It's called a 'ball' not a 'bowl', but yes, in essence you're right.

  • @hoffaeable oh okay then great answer by the way :)

  • @wattomatic Agreed, I was just answering deadsilent28's question about how fast Holding was

  • @hoffaeable yeah but its not all about being a fast bowler its about being a tactical thinker and most of the time it is the fast-medium bowlers doing all the damage in the batting line-up

  • @deadsilent28 His die hard fans will say he was as fast if not quicker than Akhtar or Lee. Facts and figures tell a different story. He was clocked during the World's Fastest Bowler Competition in 79 and came in at 140 kph (+- 2 kph). All in all, a brisk bowler, capable of reaching 145 kph at best. His biggest appeal however was his smooth action hence the nickname - "whispering death". Keep in mind, he played in a generation with little protection and uncovered pitches hence an overhype in pace

  • Actually, the fastest-ever over officially is the one Shoaib bowled V England in WC 2003 match when he broke the 100 miles barrier. There were I believe four balls in that over above 98 mph!

  • @BiggerThinking1 Shut the fuck up. You have to be a bad ass to play cricket. Only pussies drive F1 cars bitch!

  • What on earth did you mean by fastest ever cricket 'Over'? This is just one ball.

  • @ezeeedarling NO..he was average and glorified

  • @ashokatibrewal You know when people make excuses to make others belive that they were brave and heores that sucks ...I mean comeon..nobody is superman in the world everybody is the same...I do not think Gavaskar or Richards or whoever plaed during those times never afraid of getting hit on the headluckiluy nobody got serious injury but when people say Richards is great because of helmet I laugh...THAT IS NOT RICHARDS THAT IS YOU SPEKING YOUR MIND WHO REALLY AFRAID OF FACING CRICKET BALL

  • hey sorry these bowlers were before my time, but how fast was Holding?
