Adam Milne's ability to exceed bowling speeds of 150 kilometres per hour appears to put him in the front-running to be named in the Black Caps' World Cup squad.
The paceman picked up two wickets in New Zealand's win over Pakistan in the second one-day international in Sharjah this morning.
Bowling coach Shane Bond, who was the last Kiwi to consistently crack the magic 150 kph barrier, told Veitch on Sport today that Milne's pace gives the Black Caps an extra edge to their attack.
"When you look at our pitches, and they certainly have pace and bounce in them, it can make life difficult when you've got a guy bowling with pace and accuracy at the chest area," he said.
"I certainly think he adds a point of difference. I'm probably biased because I bowled in that category myself and getting to sit here and see Adam bowl live ... it's genuinely fast."
