Craig Bradley was the last I remember though Brad Green I believe was a top grade junior cricketer. 

Brad Green was a gun cricketer.  I believe he represented Australia at an underage level, might even have been captain.  I played a game of schoolboys cricket against him in College and he hit about 180 odd.  Crushing everything out of the middle.

He also took a hanger on me in Under 18s footy.  If he didn't end up at the Dees I would have hated him I reckon!

Hehe. No one got behind my Chew-Baker campaign for our wild red-headed recruit Oskar but I certainly endorse Lukes for this random new guy on our list. Maybe they can form a little crew together with CP5-O and Clayton 'hands-solo' to track down Princess Lumumba.

Hey @ProperDee - any idea who this Larwood bloke is?

Yes but in those days the average height of the male population was about 165cm.

Yeah, Steyn is from the stone age. I picked a selection from various era's. You said 184 was to short to be much of a fast bowler. Do you reckon any of those mentioned wouldn't be as effective now? 

As far as I know 160kph hasn’t changed since the early 00s.

Yes you win and here ends the discussion.

Height?

So you're saying that the bowling speed of a male bowler is a function of a bowlers height relative to the average height of males in that era?

As Nasher said - 160 kph is 160 kph whenever the ball is bowled and by whoever bowls it.

Far too old for the rookie list I believe.

They did didn't they? Wasn't his fastest delivery 161.8km/h?  

Tannishtha Chatterjee is 1.65m tall and she’s wearing an 8cm heal in the above photo. Lee’s still about 14cm taller in the image which would make him 1.87cm in total.

Where's his hands? That would make him stand taller

Good to see the recruiting staff still thinking outside the box.

I hope they continue to follow Will Sutherland's cricket career. He was an absolute weapon as a junior.
