Did anyone see the speeds that Jerome Taylor (95mph?) and Ravi Rampaul (89mph?) were bowling?

Surely it cant be accurate

[Chaim]

it is accurate remember they are international bowlers who have had a fai amount of rest

Taylor has been ckocked at 95 on countless occasions in test matches

[stevie]

Rampaul bowled really well upfront for t&t. Where was Bravo is he injured?

[Marcussjd9]

Yeah , He's Recovering Reconstructive Surgery On His Left Ankle.
He's Aiming To return For The England Tour To The West Indies Feb '09

[Chaim]

Bravo was selected for the superstars tho

[Marcussjd9]

Yes, He Was In The Original Squad..... But Isn't Playing For The Reasons I Previously Stated.
If You've Watched You Would've Seen Him Giving An Interview Where He Mentioned How He's Recovering... And Also On How It Feels To Be Watching His Brother Play

[Coach]

Interesting that on wickets that dont look great these guys are bowling at these speeds - another possible reason for the lower scoring in these games

[Chaim]

well the speed is hand speed ie the speed when the ball leaves the hand

[Coach]

yeh but the change when the ball hits the pitch is greater thus making it harder to bat on

[Chaim]

actually not

the ball slows down in the air as it travels and the pitch absorbs shock and then it continues to slow up

simply meaning that when the ball is bowled at 90 it may lose 10 miles per hour by the time it reaches the batter

[Sambo]

how much it loses depends on the pitch, on a wet one it would lose more than a hard one

[Chaim]

how am i arguing?

when have i argued before?

mate stop trying to annoy me man im just here to post my opinion with no argument

[Howzat]

Cmon guys back on topic cheers
