Our pace Atack

[zimfan1]

of adrianas van troost

He was from Holland wasn't he.....his brother captained the Netherlands in the 2003 CWC.

he was regulalry as fast as 90/95 mph.

I know for a fact he wasn't that fast because my dad faced him. He said he was fast, but not lighting quick.

he was from holland but played in england for somerset. england wanted to fast track him. they had high hopes for him.

how fast he was when your dad played him is irrelevant. he hit those sort of speeds.

He defintly hit 95mph as he was the subject of a luch time programme in the 1997/1998 Ashes series and was tested using one of the ealier speed gun machines which were not very common in those days and he wowed everyone with his pace.

Saw him bowl once at Canterbury in a one day match and he certainly had some pace about him. Unfortunately he also sprayed the ball all over the place and went for quite a few.

Chill I'm just going off what my dad said a few years back when he played for Lancashire two's. He might have hit those speeds, fair enough, but it is irrelevant how quick he was when my dad faced him, since it was he who was batting !

That was his problem. Plenty of pace and very little accuracy which was my orginal point. definately potential at the time but somerset worked more on caddick.

Well i suppose they had to make a choice. Do we work on a home grown, english fast bowler like Caddick, or an overseas player who plays for the Netherlands....

Who have been Zim 's top 5 fastest bowlers ever, in our history and fast were they.

I reckon our fastest bowlers have been:

. Andy Blignaut
. Travis Friend
. Henry Olonga
. Eddo Brandes (He could be very quick on his day)
. Kyle Jarvis

How can you say Aleseni is one of the quickest when he's hardly played 3 first class matches, and nobody has any footage of him bowling.
