Title: Speed Gun Challenge- Bristol
Post by: ianbuchanan on May 09, 2012, 05:49:11 PM
Does this interest anyone in Bristol? Cricket AM coming to my club, I'll be there but probably won't embarrass myself bowling about 45mph!

Buggy b useless...was down from 5:30 but had my quota and headed home now for some tea...did samples burger and beer for good measure. Lad who won it bowled 73mph off a massive no ball....twice...so wasn't the real winner. Aussie lad did 73 off legal deliveries but got shunned!!!

What did you clock Tom?! Nicely done, who was the guy who won it? Who was the aussie lad?! I didn't go down in the end, finished work too late!

73 doesn't sound a lot. Reckon if I was fit I'd give 65 a push

Not sure lad who won it used to play for ur lot I think and looked alot like amla of SA. Not sure who aussie lad was.

I stuck to a pint as had an hour in Physio nursing a orn hamstring so didn't think it wise to do too much on it, plus I'm not at express pace ATM ;)

Few low 40's think people thought they would be faster than they clocked tho

the indignity of rocking up pulling my already injured hamstring and falling over and needing to be carried away put me off :(

Just saw the video! Nathan (the maid) Rendell is a lad! My claim to fame is pulling the guy in the shootout for four in a game a few weeks ago ;) Another claim to fame is flicking that Dan Chard guy for six last year! Surprised they were quicker than the ginger guy as he is known as one of the quickest bowlers round here...
