he went to my school , graduated the year after I came, so did Chris Jordan

but Korn is such a good bowler and a good guy. I really look up to him

The side i played for in Aus had an opening bowler who bowled at late 140k's. Faced him on two seperate occasions in nets. (artificial mat on top of concrete) he was quick, never ducked before in my life until then. Played him hurridly but didnt get out and drove him out the net a couple of times. He was a wild fella aswell and had been known to beem the odd person!!!

[SillyShilly]

For me it has to be a  called James Fraser who played a few matches for somerset 2's and i think he might have made one or two first team appearances, he was a quick left armer who said he got clocked at 89mph, but probably bowled low 80's in the nets at uni.

[Paddy Knott]

Ive faced Kabir Ali in a match. He was rocketing it past my earholes to say the least. Played and missed a fewtimes but generally got the better of him on that day, then got clean bowled by a pea rolling leggy at the other end!

[peplow]

in our 1's last year played the local west indies team, there opener lost a yard of pace when I came in. first ball played the shot as the keeper took it. Second plum LBW. Team mates say he was 75-80 MPH

i faced him too luckily he'd lost some pace when i came in too. Made 24 notout though so was pleased haha

[Colesy]

I was fine against everyone else, just giving my partner strike then I faced 2 balls from him :L

[peplow]

haha yeah they got a few shockin bowlers and a few great ones. odd but very funny bunch!

[ianbuchanan]

who u play for peplow?

[peplow]

Old Down

colesy your indian overseas isnt that quick, just seems it because he's a lefty and its different to what people are used to. MOre awquard than quick i found. That guy that plays for ym is quicker imo, rich williams i think (am i wrong tom??) he's sharp and apparently used to be quite rapid!
