Jasprit Bumrah vs Bill O’Reilly

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Lack of video analysis did wonders for the spinners of the ancient past.

Modern day spinners get found out within a year or two and revert to the mean.

O'Reilly is not even close to Warne and Murali.

O’Reilly wasn’t a mystery bowler to get found out.

A 6.3 guy, bowling at very high speed who mainly relied upon accuracy with pretty good leg break and googly would be great regardless of the era.This guy was pretty good when both Bradman and Hutton put him no.1. Keith Miller a decent bowler in his own way describes him as the finest bowler of any type he ever saw. You know this guy was something when people were calling him equal to Barnes including Hobbs himself. Tbh I actually think Tiger was better than Barnes himself.

Mendis + Medium pace would get taken apart in modern era.

Miller averages 23 with the ball, Great bowler I reckon.

O'Reilly's action was weirdly modern.

 

[Johan]

so basically at worst O'Reilly is 3 and at best one can argue he is #2, makes sense to me.

WPM on the slightly lower side though

Ftfy

Yeah, if his stats didn't come with that caveat I'd have him #2 among ARs

 

[sayon basak]

Where is Barnes tho? Didn't he bowl leg breaks along with swingers?

Jadeja has almost identical averages, with higher WPM.


THE GOAT.

with Bedser

Nah that's way too low. Barnes imo is top 6/7 bowler at worst.

nah I meant they're probably similar bowlers, not similar in quality but style

Jadeja does have almost identical average (both batting and bowling), with (way) better WPM.

Miller would not get dropped in away tours

You mentioned averages only. So, that's what I said.

Miller, if he were Indian and played alongside Ashwin, would get dropped for Ashwin and Jadeja in Indian pitches anyways.

He'd play as a frontline pacer for India

What about the first half of his career tho?

Nah.... With this lineup he will play as a specialist batsman
