Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar is regarded as the fastest bowler in the history of the cricket.

He is a former Pakistani right arm fast bowler who represented the Pakistan national team.

He set an official world record by achieving the fastest delivery, of 161.3 km/h (100.2 mph) :

against England in 2003 World Cup  ;)

i hear some experts dispute the Akhtar claim.  Why?

During the 80s speed was measured at the point when it was by the batsman.  Later they changed that to measure at the point of release from the bowler's hand.

Thus, there is a dispute who has been the fastest.

under the old way of measurement, Jeff Thompson was the fastest.

Some even say Jeff was faster than Shoaib.

It is kind of a underground movie, but I really enjoyed the "Chennai 600028". It is a movie focusing on street cricket in India, this 2007 Bollywood movie was written and directed by Venkat Prabhu.
It examines various themes, including love, rivalry and friendship in suburban India, and was nominated for several Vijay Awards, which honor Tamil cinema.

If white people made such a film, it will be termed racist.

That film did not acknowledge the contribution of all West Indian people and its history and granted it was not a historical piece.

To me and to those with even a little comprehension of the diaspora it was and exercise in Pan Africanism!

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now. This cannot continue into another series; we must not allow it to.(15.07.2025, 15:52)(15:52)0
