Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2019 - Speed Watch

Amir needs to get that average pace to 136-138. He clearly has the ability to hit 140. Needs to find some strength and stamina to hit it regularly. Surely his bones aren't that old.

[Saj]

What was Shinwari's and Wahab's speeds?

[Danyaalr01]

Cricinfo used to show the speeds for all matches before, now they don't they don't show anything like wagon wheel, speeds, hawkeye anymore for some reason.

[Abdullah719]

[WhenSultansBowled]

So Amir has become a proper trundler

He did well to retire from test cricket, in hindsight.

[Danyaalr01]

Wahab '150kph' Riaz

ICC website has all of that now.

[Sher Khan]

147.1 kph by wahab riaz

[cricketjoshila]

Why no Hasnain? When will the kid get a chance?

[Kroll]

Why no Hasnain? When will the kid get a chance?

You do realise Misbah is the new coach?

[octavian]

Why no Hasnain? When will the kid get a chance?

Misbah is king and we are bringing back Ahmad Shehzad, Umar Akmal, Ifitkhar Ahmad and M Nawaz etc.

Do not expect to see any young exciting players for a while. All the hard work of Inzamam and Mickey is being quickly undone.

Some serious pace from Wahab Riaz tonight 🔥🔥🔥

[The streak is Alive]

Kumara reached 150.xx kph as well. SL have could have an express bowler in this 22 year old.

[MenInG]

[MenInG]

Good speeds but no wickets to show for it

[Hyperion66]

Shinwari and Naseem slower than usual, Abbas looks pretty fast though touching 130kph.

[Abdullah719]

[Amirforpresident]

132.1 !!!!!!!!!!! Is that his fastest ball in international cricket so far?

[Nikhil_cric]

132.1 !!!!!!!!!!! Is that his fastest ball in international cricket so far?

Nope. He bowled 138 kph or so in the 1st test Vs England last year.

[Boi]

Shaheen has really come on leaps and bounds with his fitness. Regularly hitting 140 during his later spells. Great to see.

[Artaxerxes]

Haris Rauf and Hasnain should be groomed for test cricket.

[Danyaalr01]

Naseems fastest ball was 147 by the end.

[tyron_woodley]

wow shaheen

[Xoib]

For next couple of years Naseem should only play 1 game of a series and bowl more in fc cricket the boy is special please don't ruin him by over bowling at this age

[Abdullah719]

[Abdullah719]

Good speeds by Naseem and Shaheen, they've both bowled around 20 overs each.

[Abdullah719]

150kph by Kumara, lively pace from him throughout his spell.

[Abdullah719]

[Hawkeye]

Kumara doesn't get the hype that Naseem gets.

[Abdullah719]

Kumara doesn't get the hype that Naseem gets.

Might be because of his FC bowling average of ~33. He's playing his 18th Test and his economy is almost 4 so he seems to be a little wayward.

[hur rizvi]

Kumara is definitely an exciting talent

[Hyperion66]

Overwhelming majority of the fans are casual fans and they by and large don't care about FC stats lol. Kumra doesn't have a hype machine behind him that actively lie about player's age to create a wow factor to attract more eyeballs among other things.

[KingT]

The sample size is not enough.
He is fast but we don't know if he can maintain it
How many overs has he even bowled? Lol

Naseem is only 18/19. How old is this guy?

[Usman Chadda]

Kumara doesn't get the hype that Naseem gets.

The fact that he is going at 5 RPO, despite bowling relatively well, might have something to do with it.

This guy is probably the quickest pacer around, but no one has noticed him because he is pants.

Naseem was the best fast bowler in Pakistan's FC cricket this season, doesn't matter if he's 16, 26 or 36.

He will be referred to by his official age on commentary, in articles, etc. as that is the norm. Most knowledgeable people know that he is older.

Your misunderstood me, not doubting his potential that I myself am an admirer of. All I am saying is his age drama played a major part in his fame. You can deny all you want but wouldn't change the fact.

Kumara probably is faster, have seen him bowling express level pace on a few occasions. But they are two different type of bowlers. Naseem doesn't rely on his pace alone that much, he is more in the mould of a classic Test pacer who relies on lateral movement.

[Shazzam]

I dislike Naseem’s way of hype so I agree. If he was his real age people would not hype him much.

[hur rizvi]

Even his real age won’t be more than 19. So his talent is still exceptional. Long way to go though

[Abdullah719]

Updated.

[Abdullah]

Updated.

Yes but Kumara I guess started bowling within himself given the game situation.
And he bowled extra overs today because their bowler got injured

Next game when they have a full compliment and he bowls shorter spells we will know more

[MenInG]

[MenInG]

Serious pace!

[Abdullah719]

[Kroll]

Searing pace by Kumara there. Leaving Pakistan pacers in the dust.

[Omer2002]

Naseem wasnt far behind...

16 yr old Nasim is quicker on average😀

[Kroll]

16 yr old Nasim is quicker on average��

As you're probably aware, comment was about the top speed as average speed may include slower balls and whatnot. 147 is express but exceeding it by 5 kph is smashing it out of the water.

16 yr old Naseem got plenty of time to hit those heights.

[Omer2002]

Apparently he promised Waqar he will go for the 150kph barrier..to be fair he was very very unlucky today..i saw even Matthews was banking on the back foot when playing him

[Hyperion66]

16 yr old Nasim is quicker on average��

He was 16 a few years back.

[Abdullah719]

Speeds weren't showing up yesterday. But here's the graph for Pakistan's first innings with the ball:

[Abdullah719]

Second innings.

[Nadeem98]

Kumara is rapid. I saw a 152.4 from him.
