Hazlewood, even if he never plays another test has played 72 tests over a decade and taken 279 wickets. That puts him in the top 45 wicket takers of all time, ahead of Garner, Holding, Lindwall, Philander, Grimmett and a bunch of other bowlers who have had "complete" careers.
I had commented that I want Bumrah to get 25 wickets in 5 tests @20.00 before the series.
(1988)- 35 Wickets at 12.65 Average vs 
2) Courtney Walsh (2000)- 34 Wickets at 12.82 Average vs 3) Richard Hadlee 
(1985/86)- 33 Wickets at 12.15 Average vs 
4) Jasprit Bumrah 
(2024/25)- 32 Wickets at 13.06 Average vs 
Shame Jamieson has been injured as if fit I think he'd be ahead of Rabada and Cummins and close to Bumrah.
Corrected it for Clarke!
Id put Bumrah and hadlee as #1 and #2. They were normal height. Ambrose was 6'7.Top 3 Bowling Performances in Australia
Hadlee and Bumrah had to nurture their skills to achieve it, Ambrose was both nature and nurture.
yep. helps if you are 6,7 and athletic and accurate, i mean the bounce, most batters wont have a clue on that, forget anything else.
Am really hoping that NZ have both Jamieson and O'Rourke fit and firing with bounce and swing/pace in 2 years
Jamieson is probably a write off. hes 30 years old now and rarely plays. Hes similar to Aussies Jhye Richardson or Engs Jofra Archer- rarely plays, mostly out every season for this surgery or that, and when they come back, its for 1 game and back out for another year of surgery...
Ambrose did it against a far stronger Australian batting line up.
Bumrah is a swing bowler who bowls full.
took 178 Wickets at 24.91 Average outside South Africa
