@arod85 Thomson being way faster than Shoiab or Bret Lee is a myth... Look at this speed test video of past bowlers...watch?v=eym816XG2vc
In this video Thomson was recorded at 147.9 km/hr as his fastest with avg of 142 km/hr... In this same video Holding was at 141 fastest and 140 as average...
Keep in mind that in this video their is no batsman... The sole purpose of the bowlers is to bowl fast with ample amount of warm up and rest...

@arod85 Your first point about measuring speed isn't true; in both the WACA tests in 1975 and the World's Fastest Bowler Competition in 1979, the pace was measured by high-speed camera, the 1979 one in front of a grid, and it was measured from the hand. However, Thomson did clock up 92mph in 1979 when he was out of cricket for a year "drinking beer and sitting on his backside" as he put it, so he was definitely very quick and may well still have been the fastest ever!

@maryamfariha No he was not !imran khan was a proven cheat..A medium fast bowler and now probably a suicide bomber.................

Thommo was fast, but Imran Khan was better looking. Bumped into him at the empty Newcastle No 1 ground, must have forgotten his kit. Had a foxy chic chick in a red Alfa with him. Way cool. A little bit weird now, but way cool back then.

@leskay1 They got little money from Cricket Australia, Bradman treated cricket australia's money like it was his own.
Thomo was the fastest ever. In those times they measured the speed when the ball reached the bat or when the ball passed the poping crease. Nowadays the speed is measured at release. I know this because I skysports shows the ball's speed at delievry after hitting the pitch and @ batsman. I reckon had the analysis been done today, Thomo would have clocked faster. Shoaib's performance doesn't seem impressive because his secret is out. Thomo was a natural, drank beer and bowled fast. My two cents.
