  • @harpsharp01 Are you joking? Look at 2:07. The keeper is terrorised let alone the batsman. These are agro bowlers, desperate to regain the Ashes and mate, that ball must have been around 165kph.

  • Just look how fast the delivery is at 8.08- unbelievable. Marsh took it above his head standing 25 yards back and it was rising !

  • @69Ocker bollocks...you only have to compare the deliveries that bounce to the ones that dont to see that the shorter balls are generally measured as slower than the fuller ones. They are measured over the full distance. The deliveries that were measured by lillee and thompson were done under controlled conditions..not during a match.

  • @maliks333 There is one big difference here man. In those days the bowlers were timed at the batman's end - once the ball had hit the pitch and travelled 22 yards. These days the bowlers are timed in the first 2 metres from their hand. It is estimated that the ball slows by at least 10% by the time it reaches the batsman. You do the math...

  • @maliks333

    I agree totally mate. This is fast bowling but not super express.

  • @TheGus619 Healey is almost the most bias one sided commentator I've ever heard! That is left to Chappelli...

    Richie's bottom lip is nearly on the ground...time for him to hang up the lip and give it away... but there honestly isn't much to choose from...

  • Faster then Akthar or Tait

  • @truespyfan

    Oh mate Richie, Slats, Heals and Tony are all a bit of fun. Cant stand Ian Chappelle and Mark Nicholas 

  • how good are the commentators... so much better than the rubbish Ch9 put us through these days....

    I see today on the tele that Thompsons son has started bowling too! and looks like his dads action too

  • It would be great to compare the speeds of the bowling greats from the 70s using today's equipment.
