For the flat/raging turners that Bumrah has got at home for pitches, those are some ridiculous numbers even though it's a small sample size.

 

[DrWolverine]

12 Tests in any place is a good sample size

Wrong. A carton of eggs is an extremely inaccurate representation of the wider egg population.

 

[Cricket Bliss]

Lillee as for now.

 

[DrWolverine]

Bumrah has played 8+ Test matches(a decent sample size) in more places than Lillee. Surprising.

Jumping the gun, Bumrah is 6 years in to Lillee's 14 year career, 11 years in Lillee had 315 @ 22 with 5.4 wickets every game and 2.84 wickets every inning.

True, but on the otherhand, Bumrah can be deemed a tier above Lillee easily

Bumrah is not even through 50% of his desired career span though, He can easily pull a Smith, Viv or Ponting.

He have to pull a Vinod Kambli to have a worse statistical record than Lillee away

Yeah cos Kambli’s statistical record is soooo bad. 50+ home and away what a loser.

Vinod Kambli 1st half: 9 tests 880 runs @ 97.77 Vinod Kambli 2nd half: 8 tests 204 runs @ 18.54

he can get close to Lillee in stats easily by getting to 21 or 22, where Lillee would win on the basis of just how absurd his bowling workload is for an express pacer.

Meh. Can bowl in only 2 countries. He is Ashwin of he Ash only played in SC and bowled like 70% as good as he did there; and shitted the bad twice as worse as he actually did in a single SA tour.

Anyone who don't like much stats and have a very Anglo centric cricket view. My guess, Gavaskar
