A ball delivered at 160.4 km/h (99.66 mph) by Australian bowler Mitchell Starc.

"Australia's Mitchell Starc delivered a ball at 160.4 km/h (99.66 mph) during a Test match between Australia and New Zealand at the WACA in Perth, Australia, on 15 November 2015. The left-armer's yorker was defended by New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor, who weathered the storm and went on to make 290 - the highest Test score by a visiting batsman in Australia."
