If you are going to write in English, at least learn how to do it properly. You are making no sense you peanut. Although anyone who thinks Lillee was a chucker is beyond help anyway

At the same time I think the speed guns measure the speed of the ball towards the gun. Hence the apparent lack of speed for shorter balls. I've seen akthar ball a 131k bouncer which wet past the bat much quicker than a good length 148k one. I know the ball looses around 10% of it's pace as soon as it hits the wicket. (Like you said taller men loose more and shorter men.) Look at the clip on youtube of mohommed sami bowling at 162k (unofficial) at dravid. It looks faster than akthars 162k.

It is release speed. And you make a good point. A shorter fast bowler like

is that release speed or average speed over the 22 yards? or speed at batters end? I think to the eye lee,tait,malinga,sami and akthar at their fastest looks way faster than this.

I noticed they bowled 8 balls because they were 8 ball overs back then. It was also an accuracy test which Thommo won too (maybe some luck involved here). Unfortunately this was after his big shoulder injury when he lost a bit a pace.

Great entertainment but just remember that this was filmed during the off season, most of these guys hadn't played in months and were nowhere near match fitness, if they had bowled wide rubbish like this in a Test Match they would have gone for 20 an over.
