Pakistan`s speed ace Shoaib Akhtar is now officially the fastest bowler in the world after breaking the 100mph mark. Shoaib, 26, set the record with a delivery to Craig McMillan during the third one-day international against New Zealand in Lahore on Saturday, bowled at a speed of 100.04 mph (161 kph).
"I am delighted to bowl that fast," Shoaib told reporters on Sunday.

Previously, the record of the fastest delivery was held by Australian paceman Jeff Thomson.
But no bowler has ever been recorded in three figures - a mark considered cricket`s four-minute mile.
Thomson was clocked at 99.8 mph (160.5 kph) in Australia in 1975 in controlled conditions whereas Shoaib has broken his record during an international match.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has authenticated the historic achievement after doubts were cast on the authenticity of the speed gun.
