Where do you rate Jasprit Bumrah among Asian fast bowlers (Tests)?

[trundler]

As of now he is behind the Pakistani trio but I definitely think he will retire as a better bowler than Waqar for sure.

overrated asf, siraj will have a better career. Bumrah will forever be known as choker, no baller and "vro he applies pressure from his end to allow siraj to get the wicket vro"

as for comparision to Pakistani greats. This is just a laughable jerk reaction thread, let him play 90 tests first like Waqar.

You two deserve each other. Finally a battle to rival akilana Vs tjb

 

[Ymaxxx]

Bumrah is just Mohammad Amir if he had a career and prime given

[smash84]

Waqar didn't play 90 Tests.

watched the highlights of a pakistan - england test at lords around 2000 or so

wasim and waqar cruising in at 75-85mph was a bit sad.

Bumrah already better than Kapil is the one really poor take in this forum. Surprised to see many established members concurring to it.

Another striking stat is that Ishant has averaged better than Bumrah since his debut. They both have benefited from bowling alongside each other in good bowling form.

Kapil on the other hand had Madan Lal and the senior Binny bowling with him.

Performance in SENAW for Asian bowlers. Bumrah has the best average among them all.

Bowling records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

stats.espncricinfo.com

Wasim - 181 wickets @ 24.65
Imran - 157 wickets @ 26.11
Waqar - 137 wickets @ 28.39
Bumrah - 93 wickets @ 22.35

Bumrah arguably a better bowler than Waqar already outside Asia.

Performing in Asia is what separates Wasim, Waqar and Imran from him.

 

[Slifer]

Yeah but

Yeah but with all due respect, some of the batting Waqar and co had to face outside Asia were far superior to what Bumrah is facing atm. Eg WI, Australia, RSA. England in the 90s is comparable to what they have now. Only NZ is clearly better than their 80s and 90s counterparts. Make no mistake though, Bumrah is well on his way to being an atg.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Test batting is possibly at an all time low rn

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Kapil Dev has literal bowling averages comparable to Chris Cairns and Abdul Razzaq. This is the type of bowler he was.

Abdul Razzaq averaged 37 with the ball. Cairns was a quality bowler.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Cairns > Kapil > Razzaq

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Cairns > Kapil > Razzaq

AWTA

 

[h_hurricane]

Cairns > Kapil > Razzaq

So you really think a bloke who bowled in the easiest bowling conditions of the era and averaged 29 is better than the bloke who averaged the same, but took twice as many wickets in more difficult conditions with crappier bowling support ?

 

[Flem274*]

didn't realise cairns was english

 

[Arachnodouche]

As of now he is behind the Pakistani trio but I definitely think he will retire as a better bowler than Waqar for sure.

No way is he ever going to have even half the explosiveness of pre-95 Waqar. He's fine for India atm and does a great job but the length he bowls is never going to run through sides like Waqar did. Which is strange because he's perfectly capable of bowling full, fast swing like Waqar but is for some reason obsessed with the short stuff.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

“cherry pick only that suits your argument”

comparing bumrah to waqar and coming to the conclusion at this stage is silly

 

[Ymaxxx]

when you dont have a single bowler upto atg standards in your entire 100 year history, so you have to end up hyping up your new 22 test match bowler to Waqar, Donald, Mcgrath to have any relevance

and the worst part is it repeats

 

[honestbharani]

Irony. just. died.

The small print says "Migara is not Indian, he is infact Sri Lankan". So don't understand what is there to hype up.
