What is the fastest cricket delivery by a bowler?

Answer 1

Its Bret lee of Australia.

Much controversy surrounds this question, namely because speed guns have only recently been introduced to world cricket. Moreover, the reliability and the validity of the speed guns is questionable - some speed guns have been said to be corrupted in order for countries to gain higher reputes for their bowlers and so on.

Before answering this question we need to look at previous bowlers who were known for their ferocious Bowling pase but were never recorded. Some past feirce bowlers include: Dennis Lillie, Jeff Thompson, Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Malcom Marshal etc.

I am sure that these bowlers would have bowled as fast and if not faster - perhaps 160 kph + - than the game's current quicks like Brett Lee, Shoib Akhtar and Dale Steyn.

However, on a more definitive note: the fastest recorded bowl was by mohamed sami against India with a dilivery of 101.9mph
