@rabyrne no.but he did face mental issues around 1984...

[rabyrne]

@ricardoparker93 Hadlee was a very intelligent bowler. He never bowled flat out and concentrated on line, length and movement. But he had it in him to unleash the really quick one every now and then. Before 1979/80, Hadlee was genuinely fast most of the time, but not as polished as he later became. Still quicker than Kumar, for sure.

IMHO, Hadlee's journey brings the art of fast bowling to a full circle.

@Imrankniazi He was definitely quicker on average than Praveen Kumar.. Boycott compares to Dale Steyn to Hadlee quite often in regards to both his pace and the way he moves the ball.

Another great upload. I didn't get to see much of Hadlee in his prime as i was very young i only really remember him towards the end of his career....Watching this footage i don't think i've seen many fast bowlers with a better action. So smooth....

@YORKER876 Wow! Could have been a speedgun error. Don't really think the guy is capable of clocking such high pace with an action of economy like he has!

Having said that, his control of the new ball is excellent. In this decade, where many international batsmen have beneath club-level techniques when it comes to playing swing bowling, PK could be a fair weapon. Swing both ways at 75-78 mph >>>> Samiesque up-and-down pace sans bowling intelligence.

@Imrankniazi , This statement of yours should encourage Praveen Kumar, lol. Anyways, very few know that Praveen clocked 142 kph in an ODI game in Australia, it was CB series and the match was India vs Sri Lanka.

@blairomatic Not very fast but certainly brisk enough. The key about pace is if you are quicker than what you appear to be, you'd end up rushing batsmen. Hadlee was so smooth and easy with his run-up, yet kinda whippy at the end, so he'd get onto you quicker than you think.

IMHO, at his polished best (his stint with Nottingham onwards), he would have been 77-83 mph on average and his quickest would have been around 87-88 mph. When you are that accurate and move it at will, you'd end up with 431

And also very fast. When he wanted to be!
