India s fastest bowler

he is fast but cannot bowl at the pace consistent..he wld bowl 1 bowl at 150 ks and others at 5 130s ..
venkatesh prasad had no pace as a fast bowler..
he was medium pace not fast medium.

 

MUNAF PATEL is the best!!!!!

 

do u guys remember a guy called david johnson?
he was definitely the fastest

 

david johnson??
who was he??
played for.....??

 

he played for india in the one off test that australia played in india in 1996
the one where nayan mongia made his maiden test century 153 i think it was
david johnson bowled short and wide without any control but touched 155 kmph throughout but as is the case with indian cricket instead of breeding the youngster he never played for india again


he is nowhere near the best but since the thread was about the fastest thought i should mention him

 

i didnt know abt him..

if it really happened it is a waste of talent..

Dude...I think you are wrong there...as far as I remember David Johson used to run in verry fast as if he would unleash a thunderbolt, and then bowl in the 120K's range...:

 

no im pretty sure he was quite fast only very erratic so cudnt make it

@jammy..:beer:

 

it says quite clearly on cricinfo that he was a fast bowler
and has anyone else seen him bowl?
then why u tryin to contradct me?

 

post #30 WAS from cricinfo.... the top lines, from the very link you supplied.

 

i almost missed his name..


the fastest bowler----VENKATPATHY RAJU

 

I have seen him bowl..I'm mostly sure that he was medium-pace..since it was a long time ago and I might have been mistaken, I specified that 'as far as I remember'......but jammy's info proves it..

 

"jammy's info" comes from cricinfo.com.

but if you really want jammy's info, then yes i have seen him too - on t.v.

during the tour to south africa, when Dravid made his first test century. that series.

he is medium pace.

 

On the short side for a "fast" bowler, David Johnson came into the Indian side on the basis of some fine performances around the domestic circuit

 

david johnson came into the indian team cos everytime we go to australia or south africa we pack our teams with hitherto unheard of "pace" bowlers who are going to (supposedly) wreak havoc on the opponent team, taking advantage of the bouncy pitches.

 

for ur kind information he made his debut at the kotla in delhi
fast bouncy pitch it wasnt last time i checked
