Official Jasprit Bumrah fanboying thread

[ankitj]

hope it is because he wants to manage his workload and preserve himself to ply more tests instead of a drop in pace out of his control

Should be given more breaks from ODIs and T20Is. Really won't mind him missing out on records in limited over games

 

[ankitj]

100 poles for the guy. What a spell at Oval even if he got just 2 wickets.

And since this thread is called fanboying, here's a fanboyish article on Bumrah's spell yesterday: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/...-happens-and-england-s-challenge-ends-1276592

 

[Slifer]

I fear that Bumrahs action plus his workload will eventually do him in, I fear. Imo he should sit out pointless limited over series/tournaments and series vs teams india would spank with or without him (wi, ban, SL, zim,).

 

[OverratedSanity]

He still often bowls a bit too short imo after his return from injury. Maybe he's trying to hold back his pace to avoid injury but he rarely cranks it up to 140 kph and just yorks n00bs like he used to. Hope he produces more of what he did yesterday going forward.

Yeah the fact that he naturally bowls a little shorter than most gun quicks as a stock ball did make his yorkers more effective. If he's not setting them up for that he's just Flintoffing.

He creates something for the bowlers around him though. We need the proper Ishant back. THEN we have the attack that can win anywhere and from anywhere. Ishant's control helps Bumrah and Bumrah's set ups help Ishant.

Yeah so he's Flintoffing.

 

[Noumenon]

Ishant has acquired a dad bod over the last 18 months and his core isn't strong enough for him to be disciplined in lengths/lines. He had a nice upsurge in the last half of his career but he's done now. This isn't readily apparent because he plays as part of a competent enough bowling attack. India need to be ruthless in selection calls and induct Krishna in upcoming tests.

Eh, this is a bit premature. Still bowled an ATVG spell at Lords which broke the game open on day 5.

For me this 5th test match coming up against England and the world 20 20 tournament are must wins for india and then we can handle bumrah work load

The textbook fast bowler would generate pace from his lower body, especially having strong hips which can take the load of sprints.

Bumrah by contrast gets his pace fron his upper body - shoulders and back, which is why he needs careful management. His run up is almost non existent.

 

[ankitj]

Once again on the ball to dismiss Ollie Robinson at Lord's

 

[Chrish]

As someone commented on other forum that he has bit of Steyn in him.. Seems completely toothless at a times but then pulls out match-winning spell out of nowhere.

I wish he took more big hauls like Steyn. Bumrah's great spells generally need you to be watching to truly know how good they were. The figures at the end are not always that special. 2-27 in last game for example was a remarkable spell.

He still has lot of time though.

He's like a Jaguar F series, amazing performance but needs to be carefully used.

tf why the dramatic music gotta after start 2 minutes of silence

 

[ankitj]

Seems like a genuine 11 does Bumrah. I like that, not enough bunnies in international cricket these days

Has significantly more Test wickets than runs to his name. Hero.

Not true anymore

 

[ankitj]

Some great moments from Bumrah in this test too.

Two kinds of Jasprit Bumrah magic

One was an intended bit of magic, while the other was a reward from the cricketing gods
