    Official Jasprit Bumrah fanboying thread

    Bumrah is a very pragmatic fast bowler. He bowls for the result, recognising his limitations, and does not bowl for the spectators' entertainment. He bowls full lengths, medium pace and looks for swing, accepting that he must not dare to hit the deck. He knows that he will get hammered into...

    Is Jasprit Bumrah an ATG test bowler?

    Dibbly dobblers always get smashed by NZ. NZ is the true test of whether a pace bowler really bends his back and hits the deck hard, or whether a pace bowler is overly reliant on swing and full length deliveries.

    Is Jasprit Bumrah an ATG test bowler?

    NZ are very strong at playing medium paced swing bowlers. It explains their success vs Bumrah.

    Is Jasprit Bumrah an ATG test bowler?

    Bumrah has massively failed against New Zealand. No ATG bowler averages 45. Remember he was horrendous in the WTC final and pretty much singlehandedly cost India an ICC trophy against NZ.

    Cricket in Australia is heaven

    He still hit the deck hard. Greek gods like him don't bowl for swing.

    Can Cummins make it to the top 10 pacers ever?

    Pat Cummins definitely makes into the top 10 pacers ever. 100%! He bowls relentless lengths. He has a beautiful action. He looks like a Greek god too! When he runs up, in bounds and springs, hair lopping, he looks like some cinematic ideal of limpid Australian athletic vitality.

    Disagree. Swing bowlers are fundamentally inferior. To be a swing bowler is to admit moral defeat.

    Cricket in Australia is heaven

    Australia: the land where pace bowlers bowl at 90mph. Where bouncers come at the speed of light. Where filthy medium paced full length swing bowling is despised. The land where batsmen have the best reflexes. The cricketing conditions which produced the greatest players off all time.

    Konstas played Bumrah with some ease. When a medium pace bowler is accurate, you only need to be proactive and have good hand-eye coordination to succeed. Konstas proved it. Jokers like McSweeney and Susan failed.

    Konstas deserves 9/10. Bumrah got exposed by Konstats. Some of the Australian batsmen have really just needed to have a swing - Bumrah doesn't have the threat of 90mph or a good bouncer so really you just have to step out and hammer him off his length. Konstas showed the way but some of the...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    Bumrah is a mediocre swing bowler. No Australian batsmen fears getting hit by him, or any other Indian bowler in history for that matter. Australia's philosophy and brand of cricket will always be known as the most exciting and ***y in the world.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    Cummins is handsome and bowls like he has a vendetta against full length swing bowling. He hits the deck so hard its like he is creating a hole on the pitch. The Indian batsmen fear getting hit each time they face Cummins. Pat Cummins is an excitement machine who hits the deck hard and bowls...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    Boland is a 36 yr old workhorse who knows his place. He bowls like a pragmatic journeyman who plays a side role. Australians consider Bumrah and Boland to be on the same level - pragmatic, mediocre, journeymen. Not on the same level of explosive stars like Cummo, Rabada, or Steyn in the past

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    No true Australian enjoys seeing Bumrah's 83mph full length swing bowling. Australians loved Shamar Joseph and Rabada's HTD bowling.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    Australians consider a bowler who relies on medium paced swing bowling and full lengths to be stooping low. I share that philosophy. I prefer the Australian brand of htd fast bowling...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    Bumrah is a medium paced swing bowler who relies on bowling full. I have never seen Cummins swing the ball and that is why I prefer Cummins over Bumrah.

    It is heaven for those who despise swing bowling and spin bowling, as I do.

    Cricket in Australia is heaven

    Cummins gets a 100 times more bounce than Bumrah or any other Indian bowler. Bumrah gets wickets through medium paced swing bowling full lengths. Cummins is almost too proud to stoop to lowly medium paced swing bowling. I have never Pat Cummins swing the ball and that is why I love him, and...
