I think Shoaib should learn to bowl within limits, parti-
cularly on track that offer little assistance to fast
bowlers. The great Richard Hadlee was a tearaway early on.
Later, he cut down his pace and relied more on swing and
cut. The same with Lillee.

When Shoaib was in Australia earlier this year...Brett Lee clocked 2 balls
at 155.8 and i think another one at 155.5. Shoaibs quickest here was 155.3
as well

I haven't even started on the reasons why it should only be recognised as
"fastest" by a test cricketer.. since fast bowling competitions regularly
reach into the very high 150's.. even if the ball only makes the pitch
irregularly.

Thommo's 160 is a good suburban myth.The measurement used was totally
unacceptable.
We will nevr know how fast Thommo really was - he may in fact have bowled
even quicker than the legendary 160.But stop using that mythology.
