oh shit, I thought Tait's 161 ball in that early T20 was faster than Lee had reached, didn't realise it was level.

God damn he was good

Yeah, I had to look it up, I was convinced Lee was #1. It's really impressive for records for that sort of thing to stand for 20+ years, but the one that shocked me is Jeff Thompson still has the fourth fastest recorded delivery in all of cricket, measured at 160.6 in 1974
