The right-arm bowler was a gun pacer and used to bowl at 145-150 kmph consistently. Follow all the cricket updates on InsideSport.IN

World’s Fastest Cricket Ball: Pakistan pacer Mohd Sami’s bizarre claim, not Shoaib Akhtar but he bowled world’s fastest delivery- check out
“I bowled two balls more than 160kmph in a match, one was 162 and the other was 164. After that, it was said that the bowling machine (speed gun) is not working. So, the balls were not counted. But if you look overall, whoever has bowled with a speed of more than 160, there have been just one or two balls in that speed,” Sami told paktv.tv.
“It is not like they have bowled with that speed consistently. It happened occasionally,” he added.
