If Bumrah ends his test career with 330 wickets @19.0, how do you think he will be rated?

[Gob]

Only 400 wickets behind Anderson

he maybe the goat of Indian seamers but overall not

Bumrah is like twice as good as Anderson honestly

 

[ataraxia]

Assuming Bumrah does so in 3 years, he'll have very limited longevity. I'm not sold he'd even be top 5 tbh. Certainly top tier, though.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

It depends if he gets his average against NZ under 45

 

[kyear2]

If he keeps playing every test, he will decline.

If he gets to pick and choose, small chance he can

That too would impact his status though.

 

[kyear2]

He'd need to play another 25 Tests. Age wise it's doable, but staying injury free to do it is the difficult part.

From a neutral and realistic point of view I'd be happy to see him do really well against England and eventually get to 270ish wickets averaging 20. That would put him close to ATG status for me. Alongside Garner and Donald.

330 at 19 puts him up there with the very best.

He already easily ATG status for me.

Donald easily so as well, Garner just squeezes in for me.

James Anderson took around 380 wickets after turning 31

Rabada has 327 wickets at the age of 29.

But unfortunately Sa played only 12 matches in the current WTC cycle Which is the joint lowest number of matches along with bangladesh.

At this rate he will not cross 500.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

He will be rated highly

@Coronis

Clearly only Garner/Lindwall level.

Which is a pretty awesome level lets be real.

Hope Bumrah is in form this summer. He’s going to make some of the English including Harry Brook who’ve decided technique is not a thing look pretty silly.

 

[Johan]

Imaginary God be with him, but he's not doing all that.

 

[honestbharani]

Imaginary God be with him, but he's not doing all that.

But the real God is with him, so he may well do.

 

[DrWolverine]

It would be impossible for them give the other bowlers

I was just joking man

Honestly he isn’t

that fair enough it’s only opinion. You have your view I have mine

And I respect that

Yours is still wrong though

Wickets taken for a start

length of career as a second

when bumrah has outdone both your opinion is right until then he ain’t even in the running

None of them makes one a "better" bowler. If it did, Anderson would be better than Marshall.

I’ve given two reasons why Bumrah is not the greatest of all time

Nothing to do with Marshall

I’m afraid you just have to get your head around the amount of wickets Anderson took which is over double what bumrah has done

bumrah is nowhere near the greatest bowler of all time which this thread was about

live with it

Answer this, is Anderson better than Marshall?

Ummm.....is anyone arguing that he is?

The thread posted a hypothetical.
