World's fastest bowl / bowler Cricket

World's fastest bowl / bowler

Pakistani bowler Shoaib Akhtar has broken cricket's equivalent of the four-minute mile, sending down a 161kmh (100.04mph) delivery. The ICC is yet to endorse the record, which breaks Jeff Thomson's longstanding record.

Akhtar's achievement was cast into doubt because the broadcaster's speed gun, developed by Electronic Development House, was out of order. The 100mph delivery was measured on a device supplied by a Lahore hi-tech company, Cybernet.
