Better bowling performance?

Bumrah has the better average, had much less support than Ambrose, but bowled on more bowling friendly surfaces, broke down by the last game and probably bowled to a slightly weaker Aussie lineup.
Very tough to call, Bumrah produced a slightly higher level of consistent bowling imo but going for Ambrose for his series shaping contributions.

Ambrose, less helpful surfaces, a less reinforced seam for the ball back then and imo a stronger batting lineup when form is taken into account.

Ambrose obviously because he won them the series and didn't break down. Plus his 7-25 is one of the greatest spell ever.

Not sure any surface was as helpful as what he got at Perth that series to be honest.

Sydney

Sydney

Ok it balances a bit but I recall even Adelaide in that series was quite bowling friendly. I agree with the rest of your comments.

Bumrah didn't even bowl at Sydney

2024 BGT Perth day 1 is one of most bolwing friendly pitch ever

Yeah he missed the best bowling wicket of the series ffs.
I had a bet on my cricket group before the series started that Bumrah would break the record for a pacer with the most wickets in an away test series (5 match), the guy was 3 wkts away from it.
Would have been the greatest prediction ever.

You don’t count Tate or Barnes as pacers then?

No doubt. But both series were fairly bowling friendly. Like Perth in 93 was made for Ambrose to destroy lineups on.

Statsguru doesn't, and the bet was based upon that.

iirc it does for Barnes. Though I guess technically he only played 4 games

It does you're right. I remember checking though and Barnes 13/14 wasn't there. Maybe we had a time filter too, although I don't recall one.

Ambrose bowled to better batsmen presumably. Otherwise, hard to separate the two.

Bumrah on can argue was more consistently excellent whereas Ambrose had two awesome matchwinners there that took the series.

Probably Ambrose I guess
