Got a lad in our 1st team, Joe Lovett, who has serious wheels.
Faced him in the (fast & bouncy) Rose Bowl indoor school which wasn't a plesant experience.

Did he play for Hants Academy?

Two guys I have played with (Benny Howell and Hamza Riazuddin) mentioned him I think?

Yes he has done.
I think he played for an England side of some description too when he was younger.

Our pro this season is a Sri Lankan bloke, Ramesh Subasinghe. He has some serious wheels, had about 8 overs to bowl at the end of the day yesterday and he let loose. Smacking the gloves with serious heat standing 25m back. Doug Hondo also plays for one of the other clubs in my region. His pace and height makes him a very tough customer to play, especially on our kiwi green seamers!

Fastest I faced was Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Symonds, both in the nets for the team we all played for, Mitch was super scary pretty sure I skid marks after pacing him
Andrew Symonds is up there in your top 2?

Back in the day he used to bowl around 130km medium pacers, then he stopped bowling, was also a hand off spinner!

Faced Ramesh twice last season. He was the overseas for Steyning, yes he's got wheels, bounced me out in the first game.  I was a lot more comfortable with him in the return game.

Never faced anything rapid in the league. Faced 75mph on a bowling machine and wasn't too bad. Can imagine another 10mph on that being a tad tricky ha!

Not surprised, Rammy is quite fond of the short ball!!

I remember watching Hamza at junior level play against my brother alot, decent player but I can't understand why he's retired from FC?

Really really don't want to admit it, but my little lads getting a bit too quick for me now, I'm not gonna tell him this tho, , but I'm not looking forward to facing the little bugger on our astro practice wicket.
Might be time to invest in a helmet?
