In 1979 an Australian television channel brought the best fast bowlers together to determine who was the fastest of them all.

Using the ‘latest technology’ and hosted by Richie Benaud, this is an awesome video to watch.

It was a great time for fast bowling, judging by the impressive list of bowlers taking part in the show: Imran Khan, Sarfraz Nawaz, Dennis Lillee, Michael Holding, Jeff Thompson, Andy Roberts, Richard Hadlee, Colin Croft and more..

Not embeddable I am afraid, so head on over to YouTube and watch it there.
