Its all Australian Propaganda that Thomson is the fastest. We have seen shoaib Akhtar Bowling at 100m/h and ICC suddenly declare that as non-official. This is all bullshit.

Even though he won this competition, it's important to remember that Jeff Thompson was bowling much faster in 1975, around the 100mph mark.

Nobody hates the Pakistani's. Most Pakistani's know that. The whole cricket world, and civilisation in general was doing fine until India came along. I don't know why they keep flocking to Australia. We hate them!

Thompson's fastest was 147.9kmh which is almost 92mph. That's very quick, especially in 1979.. but how are people saying that he was faster than today's fastest bowlers?! It's natural that bowlers become quicker over time, but the fact that most are focusing on him being faster than *Shoaib Akhtar* makes it obvious what they're actually about. Shoaib bowled 100mph in a match, with control, and 90mph+ over 10 overs. If you still want to argue, fine, but it's okay to say "I don' know"!

Thats a very intolerant point of view. You may ask brown people to leave your country if they are living illegally here but why dropping atom bombs on these people on these countries. None of these countries caused any of the world wars in the last century. Some people tend write a lot of garbage on youtube texts. Maybe his girlfriend ran away with a brown man.

LOL who measured that? Dr Gilbert Bottomly-Nonce with a steam-powered camera?
