Seeing it comes up quite a bit over different threads, I figure if we keep track of it here it could be easier to reference later on.
Today Jarvis is averaging 126, highest 131.

I only saw bits and pieces of his bowling in the Test match, and just this over now - so this might be a bit misguided. But it seems his quicker balls are mid 130s - if he's to make it in this team I think his quicker balls need to be low 140s, otherwise he's just a more expensive version of Mpofu.
It'll be interesting to see what Vitori's speeds are now. If he can still swing it in the mid 130s he'll be an automatic selection.

How regularly did he hit 140? If he could be someone that averages 135 that would be handy. But I reckon he might be averaging about 129-130 at the moment.

In test matches where you are trying to get a rhythm I think he can average 135kph. Like AC just said he is bowling within himself right now because he doesn't want to bowl a no ball. The kid has barely played 10 professional games in his domestic and international career. I think he has what it takes with the right coaching. He is doing ok if we actually look at his circumstances

He’s got potential for sure, but how long is it going to take to see him running smoothly into the crease? I think he needs running lessons before bowling lessons, it’s painful to watch him crabbing and shuffling in.

Ngarava isn't as quick as Mumba and Muzarabani. Mumba bowled mid 130s on average in his opening spell and later his pace dropped a bit. I remember he hit high 130s and low 140s too on occasion.
