Really surprising to see Cummins go below Bumrah. His wpm was Steyn territory, whereas Bumrah's was somewhere around 4.Bumrah’s WPM: 4.47
Cummins’ WPM: 4.34

Yea Cummins WPM before 2023 was 4.57.Really surprising to see Cummins go below Bumrah. His wpm was Steyn territory, whereas Bumrah's was somewhere around 4.
Tbf mcgraths SR would probably drop if he was playing today. Batsmen score more quickly these days.Unsurprisingly, Pollock and Anderson have the highest SR’s here. McGrath’s is also significantly higher, but he bowled a lot more comparatively.
Overs per match (decimals are number of balls 1-5)
McGrath - 39.2
Pollock - 37.3
Anderson - 35.3
Cummins - 33.5
Steyn - 33.2
Bumrah - 32.4
Rabada - 30.4
As far as I can remember, it was 4.727 before 2022. at that time bumrah had played 30 matches and picked 128 wickets, which would interpret into a wpm of 4.25 (numbers could be different tho, these are from my memory)Yea Cummins WPM before 2023 was 4.57.

Counterpoint, there are less ATG Batsmen going around (only Smith and Root really) so he would've a better time, countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka (bar recently), West Indies and India all have weaker battings.Tbf mcgraths SR would probably drop if he was playing today. Batsmen score more quickly these days.
What he means is that his strike rate would decrease due to batsmen giving their wickets away more frequently due to faster run scoring tendency. Your argument just strengthens his point.Counterpoint, there are less ATG Batsmen going around (only Smith and Root really) so he would've a better time, countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka (bar recently), West Indies and India all have weaker battings.
think he'd be even better statistically today.
Ohhhhhh that's trueWhat he means is that his strike rate would decrease due to batsmen giving their wickets away more frequently due to faster run scoring tendency. Your argument just strengthens his point.
Lower SR= better
Bumrahs WPM is so impressive because throughout his career he's exclusively played in 5 bowler lineups.Really surprising to see Cummins go below Bumrah. His wpm was Steyn territory, whereas Bumrah's was somewhere around 4.
This also while playing a lot in IND where Ashwin and Jadeja tend to eat opposite batsmen aliveBumrahs WPM is so impressive because throughout his career he's exclusively played in 5 bowler lineups.
Yea cos Anderson is SO impressive outside his natural habitat. The actual ****?I don't know
like by raw skill I can see it but Rabada and cummins have been very unimpressive outside their natural habitat tbh (aus/Sa) so I don't know if I think Rabada is better, I def think Cummins more skillful but kinda feel like he won't have a superior career
he outperforms either pretty heavily in Asia, especially in the last 14 or so years of his careerYea cos Anderson is SO impressive outside his natural habitat. The actual ****?
We are treating them as completely different species now?Rabada and cummins have been very unimpressive outside their natural habitat tbh (aus/sa)
HmWe are treating them as completely different species now?
At a meagre 2 WPM or something silly yea…he outperforms either pretty heavily in Asia, especially in the last 14 or so years of his career
Rabada – 2.2 WPM (35 avg with 71.7SR)At a meagre 2 WPM or something silly yea…
