Re: Average Speed for age
It depends on lots of things
Strenght
Texhnique
Height
Experiance
Development
when I was 12/13/14 I bowled seamers left arm over
slow slow pace maybe hitting 50 MPH
I would rare in and bowl perfect line and length and swing the ball both ways
sadly hurt my back and now bowl leggies

Re: Average Speed for age
you also need to make sure that you calibrate it and know how it works

Re: Average Speed for age
For a reference the kid who was the faster bowler at an under 11 competition last year was hitting 55mph. So I guess the figures from manee are in the right ball park.

Not really, it tends to plateau around the 70 - 75mph mark although there are always variations. Manee has flagged up what I would call the 'quickest' in each age range.
If you were to play for a club in the Premier division of a region in the UK, you would expect to face bowling around 75 - 80mph - or an average county bowler.

Re: Average Speed for age
Though there is more to it than pace (accuracy, consistency, swing, movement etc), speed is a vital thing.
You to think that the batsman at that level will have better reactions and pick the ball up quicker, so someone trundling in at 65mph is going to be easier to put away than someone at 85mph.
If you can rush a batsman through their stroke you always have a chance of a wicket, also, have you ever tried to play a ball swinging at 80mph

Generally, as you move up a 'standard' the bowling will gain a few yards of pace.

Re: Average Speed for age
So you'll know how hard it can be to face that, especially if you're not a great batsman.
Speed is one thing that marks out most sports, if you can run quicker, bowl faster, anticipate before others etc then you'll always do well.
