Will we ever see 180kph?
OK, so I was talking to my mates about this, some beleive because we see athletic records broken all the time that we will see cricket records broken heaps, too, and they beleive in a decade or two we will be seeing the fastest bowlers clocking 180kph.
I don't reckon we will see it any time soon, if at all. Records are only broken by 10ths and 100ths of a second, and most young cricket players are encouraged to bowl line and length. Fast bowling isn't like athletics, they have 1 main factor to focus on; running, whereas a fast bowler needs to have a great action, a balanced run up and a good follow through.
