Asian fast bowlers since Wasim Akram's retirement

Bumrah also failed to defend the target for 2 consecutive matches against South Africa.
Pat Cummins failed to defend a 360+ target in headingley and couldn’t get jack leach out

he failed in 2 4th innings chases in Sydney and gabba where he couldn’t get a bunch of injured blokes out and got hit around by a debutant respectively.

Yeah that's a massive fail. I still couldn't understand how such a good attack missed it both times.
Pitch was flatter. India scored underpar. Plus siraj being out just meant they could play out shami bumrah. The lords 2021 test is the counterexample. No respite at all.

I haven't talked about Cummins,it's about Bumrah.

Pitch wasnt flatter,infact Indian bowlers never executed short bowls properly like South African bowlers did.

This is ridiculous

Cherrypicking stats to support outlandish points of view (in some cases, militant Kiwi nationalism).

mcgrath couldn’t get Laxman out in his 28

Bumrah has 125 wickets at 21.75. That’s elite performance and half way to an ATG career

he is also the best bowler in the world not named Pat Cummins (and it’s not particularly easy to distinguish them)

engineered some decisive wins for India and is prime time to watch

A shame, india’s first bowler in history who was quality and as time goes it seems an end of Bumrah’s journey for longer formats, with just 30 test matches and 70 odi matches. His return for Ireland t20s seems he will be used just in t20s and.. ipl.

Concerning stuff as even Fazal Mahmood from the 50s has more games on him,

some asian bowlers with more test wickets than bumrah,
  • Gul
  • Shastri
  • Fernando
  • Sami
  • Mankad
  • Ajmal
  • All 4 Indian spin quartret
  • Qasim
  • Lakmal
  • Yadav
  • Mehidy
  • D Perera
Expand it to Test+ ODIs and the list expands greatly further.

Why Ajmal? I thought we were talking about bowlers.

bro tried to sneak in Mohammad ‘i average 52 in tests’ Sami in there and thought we wouldn’t notice who also has less wickets than Bumrah just like all of the Fernandos. he just cant get the facts right in any post
just a typo i meant matches not wickets. Im referring to bumrah’s longevity being even lesser than crap bowlers like sami and chuckers like ajmal

Ha anyone suggested Bumrah’s test and ODI career is over? He ‘s playing those matches as a gentle warm up for the World Cup.

He’s also comfortably the best Asian pacer since Akram. A bit sad for Pakistan that India’s taken up their mantle of pace bowling.
