Fastest[]
These lists are based on the most recent international game played by each bowler, but in some circumstances the necessary data is unavailable. In these situations, the data used is from the most recent game where this data is available, and is listed in italics. The main source of information on bowling speeds is Hawkeye data as published on the ICC website. However this is not universally used and depends on which system the host broadcaster / board use for ball-tracking. Matches in Australia and New Zealand currently use the rival Virtual Eye system, and though some speed data is available it is not comprehensive.
