The lighter the ball the faster it goes. Plastic balls generate fastest deliveries.

Logic: It offers less resistance in air so travel fasts.

Natural talent is always ignored in India

well from my experience, when i bowl with the same effort and teh same strenght, the cricket ball and tape balls are much much faster than tennis ball.
its too hard to believe bro, thats like 85 miles per hour with a tennis ball.

 

[Arunava]

nice thread

@scion_sid

i have many friends that used to say they bowl very fast and can match 130k easily (they used to take coaching for Cricket and had bowled to Gambhir and Viru once ), until they went for the speed test . .there was some bowling test going on here in Delhi. They were bowling at 120 - 125k. Dude 150k is very fast and u would never know until u go and test it with Speed Gun.


Anyway back on topic-

I was an All-Rounder . . .

Batting Position:
1st Down(Right Handed) and 5th Down (Left Handed) Would take few deliveries to Read the Pitch and Bowling, then get Aggressive in the Slog Overs. . Career Strike should be around 96 or so Though I used to be a consistent Run-Getter for my Team

Batting Style:
throughout my career I wanted to develop max cricketing skills so I learnt to Bat even Left Handed and Bowl Left Handed.

below like means - Action and Delivery type

Batting Right Handed - Kallis like
PaceBowling Right Handed - Pollock like - I wasn't express fast bowler, My Speed used to be 115k- 120k but I used to be a line and length bowler ..consistently Hitting the zone of uncertainty.
Spin Bowling Leg-Break- like Warne; Off-break - Mark Waugh like


Batting Left Handed - Klusener like - Very Aggresive
Bowling Left Handed - Wasim Akram like - the Speed used to be same as from Right Hand
Only Off-Break bowling with Left Arm- Ravi Shastri like

I was very quick Outfielder- taking flying catches , rarely dropping. .but Captain wud always prefer me at Cover or Cover Point . . Very good at stopping Runs (guys would call then Jonty ), but I was very bad at Direct Hits Missed many chances
