God has finally answered my prayers. For years I had been praying for at least ONE Indian Fast bowler who could consistemtly bowl 145 kmph per hour. I was fed up of seeing Lee, Akhtar,Malinga, Tait etc. rattle our batsmen with sheer pace.
At rare times Nehra, Sreesanth, RP and even Munaf have touched 145kmph but never on a competitve basis.
Today's first over of Sharma to the Lankans started with 149.2 and never fell below 147 kmph. The fastest was 149.7 kmph.
HURRAY! I was not bothered that India was heading for defeat after 2 very poor overs from Sreesant but only delighted that my wait for the last 20 years was OVER.
Finally India have a GENUINE Quick bowler.
Watch out Batsmen of opposing Teams, the New Delhi Express is HERE!!!
