No, Shaun Tait's delivery at 160km/h against New Zealand in an ODI on 4 February 2007 is tantalizingly close to the magical 100mph barrier, a landmark only Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee have reached.
I got the following from Wikipedia about Shoaib Akhtar and Shaun Tait:
Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan:
Bowling type: Right arm fast
Best bowling: 6/11 6/16
Source: Cricinfo.com
Shoaib Akhtar is widely recognized as one of the fastest bowlers in the world, earning him the name Rawalpindi Express. He made a world record by clocking 100mph twice. His ability to bowl fast Yorkers, well disguised slow balls, swinging deliveries, and sharp bouncers made him lethal even on dead pitches
Shaun Tait of Australia:
Bowling type: Right-arm fast
Best bowling: 3/97 4/39
Catches/stumpings -/- 1/-
As of April 21, 2007

A right arm fast bowler, Tait's bowling action is unique, with him twisting his spine almost in a right angle. This allows him to deliver the ball with phenomenal pace around 150km+, including one delivery at 160km/h against New Zealand in an ODI on 4 February 2007. This is tantalizingly close to the magical 100mph barrier, a landmark only Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee have reached.

Remember Shoaib set his record in dry conditions at altitude. It would be a miracle for Tait to match it in the conditions that prevailed in WI.
When Tait and Lee are next bowling in Joburg or Pakistan watch out!

Not yet. Shoaib Aktar still holds the record for fastest delivery in cricket.
