Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne and Dinesh Karthik had interesting takes on the subject:

Interesting point & one to debate my friend. I will take this to the world cricket committee for discussion & come back to you. Never seen anything like that today - Greene’s delivery was 142kph and hit the stump hard !!!!! 😩😂 https://t.co/GO6IeHgtsk
