Shoaib was more accurate than either Tait or Thomson (it's not hard), but I still don't think he was as fast as Thomson. True, without speed guns for Thomson we can't prrove it, but as I said I've seen them all live and still think Thomson at his peak was the quickest. Another very fast one before speed guns was Michael Holding - called "Whispering Death" because of the deceptive smoothness of his action.

Many years ago when the West Indies were in their prime (Lloyd, Richards, Holding, Haynes etc etc) I was fortunate enough to see Andy Roberts bowl at Bourda in Guyana. That pitch was not considered a "fast" pitch (as opposed to Kensington Oval in Barbados or Sabina Park in Jamaica) but all I could see was the dust that was kicked up when the ball hit the pitch. I could never actually see the ball! Now granted I was side on to the pitch but I had 17 year old eyes at the time! What impressed me even more is that his run up was relatively short and more on an "amble" as opposed to a sprint, yet the ball was released at what seemed to me at the time as unbelievable speed. Ahhh cricket, lovely cricket!

The over bowled by Brett seen here is indicative of how speed bowlers should be measured. We see the fastest average over bowled on record. Single timed deliveries should never be taken as a count because of variability of conditions and questionable accuracy of devices. I would bet the devices are not calibrated to a Standard for each and every game. Also Thommo shown here was never timed using today's radar devices until after he had his accident that required surgery. It was not until 1975 that radar became available and replaced the former point to point timing.

Incorrect and biased analysis. Unimpressed. Michael Holding was the second fastest bowler of his time followed by Imran Khan, at speed competition held on speed test at Kerry Pecker's Circus. He threw some very quick and ferocious deliveries. He is not mentioned. Garth Lee Roux and Malcolm Marshal also missing in the list. Brett Lee was expensive but Shoaib Akhtar was a nightmare for batsmen because of his good length bouncers, after Malcolm Marshall. Brett Lee was often punished by Indian batsmen.
Lucky enough to see most of the bowlers bowl in their prime, specially Shoaib Akhtar running all the way from boundary. 💞
Respect to all the fast bowlers on the list. Especially Brett Lee and Jeff Thomson! Love from South Africa.

I'm old enough (and addicted to cricket enough) to have seen most of these players live when they were in their prime. The speed gun wasn't available for Thomson until after he broke his shoulder, when he dropped noticeably in pace. In my opinion in the years 1974-75 he bowled quicker than any of these. THe wicketkeeper had to stand further back to him than for his teammate Dennis Lillee, for example, who prior to Thomson's arrival was considered the quickest bowler in the world.

Yorker at 160kph is much tougher than a big bouncer at the same speed. With the bouncer, you get extra leverage and can generate extra force from the core. Yorker, not so easy. Measured speed is ok, beating that 100-mile Starc Yorker is going to be something else.

Speed, biomechanically speaking, is generated from how much of an arc you can move your arm in before releasing the ball, in the last quarter of a second. Look, in these REALLY fast guys, how much arc the ball is travelling through before release. The bigger the arc, the bigger the speed (in the same amount of time).

Shoaib and Lee were definitely quicker, but in my life time I've never seen anyone put the fear into batsmen like Mitchell Johnson did. He had speed, accuracy and the right amount of mongrel in him.

I've been watching cricket since the late 1960s. I have never seen one bowler dominate an entire series like Johnson did during the 2013-14 Ashes. He was the reason Aus won in a 5-0 whitewash. Every match was a thrashing. He took 37 wickets at 13.97. Those are insane numbers but they don't tell the whole story though. The real drama was out there on the pitch. You could see it when you watched it live. MJ's combination of speed, accuracy & angle of attack was way too much for the English to handle. He was hostile as hell, too, having no qualms about regularly dinging helmets & bodies. The body language of those who faced him spoke volumes. He broke batsmen's wills. Then he went to South Africa in early 2014 & did the very same thing to the Proteas, outbowling Steyn & Co. by a mile on their own turf. I don't expect ever to see a performance like that again by a bowler in my lifetime. Google what the British press had to say about MJ during that Ashes series. They were as gobsmacked as I was.

BTW Englishman John Snow did almost the same thing to the Aussies during the 1970-71 Ashes. He had a whippy action & was very hostile, taking 31 wickets at 22.83. Consistently getting the ball to rear up off a length he was clearly the difference between the two teams as England won the series 2-0. I watched as much of it as I could on the old black & white TV. It was a long time ago but Snow made an impact on me. Good footage of JS here on YT.

Some thoughts - Jeff Thomson was the fastest bowler I think I've ever seen with his sling action. There was an Australian TV show in around 1978 about the fastest bowlers in the world using the "new technology" of radar to accurately measure speed. Thommo came out on top with a ball well over 100mph. Lee and Akhtar exceptionally quick too and both brilliant bowlers, but Lee was also one of the most powerful hitters of the ball with the biggest six I have ever seen in Brisbane. Other names to throw in Garth Le Roux who didn't get to play tests due to the ban on South Africa, Harold Larwood from the Bodyline series whose front foot was smashed from pounding it down so hard as he bowled. Maybe also Dennis Lillee when he was young before he broke his back from bowling too fast, Ray Lindwall, and potentially Fred 'The Demon' Spofforth who was faster than anybody of his day and who invented swing bowling. Hard to know really how fast Spofforth bowled as he played in the first test in 1877, but he was as feared as any bowler who ever lived - including by the great W.G. Grace - yes same surname, much better cricketer :)

Shoaib has bowled the most fascinating deliveries throughout his career. People come to stadium just to watch his magical spell
Michael Holding was quick. Jeffrey Dujon the West Indies keeper said that when he got it right, Patrick Patterson was the quickest of the lot. Back in the '70's they had a speed competition and Imran Khan came second only to Jeff Thompson. Going back to the 50's Frank Tyson was probably the fastest ever English bowler, he blew the Aussies away on the 1954/55 ashes tour to Oz with his speed.
Bond has the most stylish bowling action❤
This seems to be only international games - probably many missed here like in County cricket - an 18-year-old Allan Donald bowled 155km/h almost every ball. Sadly not all games had a speedometer.

Right 👍
Thompson looks the quickest with the naked eye, and for consistency I would say he was the fastest overall.
it must be difficult reading pace at different altitudes etc . My favourite fast bowler was Malcolm Marshall.
Needs to be speed at the bat, not speed out of the hand, minus 10km from these new Hollywood speeds. Jeff Thompson was a true 160km bowler

He was also measured at the bowling end lol, try doing some research before you speak And it doesn't slow down by 10kms on reaching batsman end, but about 15% which means a 160 kph bowl would reach the batsman at around 135-40 kph

Why cant the modern bowler bowl these kind of speeds nowadays? Is it cuz it's less effective and accurate? Or remember the Brett lee and shoaib akhtar rivalry in speeds. Was amazing to watch
Eddie Gilbert was an Aboriginal Australian fast bowler who played in the 1930's. Sir Donald Bradman said he was the fastest he had ever faced. Commentator Alan McGilvray said that he was the fastest bowler he had ever seen. Eddie Gilbert should be on the list.

I saw Thomo at the end of his career when I was a kid, and some of the West Indies greats like Malcom Marshal, Joel Garner, Michel Holding. Saw Brett Lee, Shane Bond, Wasim Akram and Shoab Akhtar, to name a few. But I have to say, THE fastest spell I ever saw live, was Shaun Tait bowling to Adam Gilchrist at the Gabba in a T20 game. That 2nd over was beyond fast.
I'm surprised Michael Holding isn't in this list. I once saw him bowl in the same game live at the SCG with Jeff Thompson. I could barely see the ball when either of them were bowling - both seriously quick

I watched a 1 day game at the Gabba (QLD vs WA). QLD had Kasper, Bichel and a young Mitchell Johnson. WA had Damien Martyn. Kasper and Bichel were quick but them Johnson came on and I couldn’t see the ball once it left his hand when bowling. He was lightning quick. He ran through the WA batting order until Martyn came in and he looked like a man playing against boys. It was like Martyn was playing the game in slow motion, he middled every ball. It’s funny that when you watch test cricket, everyone is good. When you watch domestic cricket everyone is good. When you watch Test players in domestic cricket, you realise how much of a jump there is in skill and talent.

I agree, but to be fair, speed guns they currently measure weren't about so I believe there is an element of guesstimate given frame by frame clips. Ian Chappell has always maintained Thommo & Holding were easily quicker than anyone else with Shoaib close to Holding.

agreed, never been close to 155 before or since then
For those wondering, speed can be calculated accurately without need for a 'speed gun'. You just need to know dimensions of pitch and have clear, consistent footage. This technique is used all over the world to accurately gauge speed in many circumstances, such as forensic investigations. This is likely the technique used by Wisdon to fill their stats for the older players, before radar cameras were available. They likely have archives of high quality footage that can't be found on youtube for copyright reasons.
