Starc鈥檚 fastest test delivery
Print Edition
AUSTRALIAN paceman Mitchell Starc bowled what is believed to be the fastest delivery in test cricket history yesterday on the third day of the second test against New Zealand at the WACA Ground in Perth.
Starc joined an exclusive club with a sizzling delivery, with the fourth ball of his 21st over clocked at 160.4 kilometers per hour. Only four other fast bowlers have officially been recorded to have bowled at more than 160kph, but none in tests. Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhtar holds the record with a 161.3kph thunderbolt in a one-day match against England in 2003. Australian pair Shaun Tait and Brett Lee were both recorded at 161.1kph, in separate limited overs matches. The only other bowler to reach the mark was Australian firebrand Jeff Thomson at 160.6kph during a study into fast bowling in 1976 in Perth.
