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

[DrWolverine]

Just curious.

Say he ends up with 330 wickets @ 19.0 and strike rate of 41, how will he be rated as?

Unrealistic target , but if he somehow achive this then he will be the goat pacer.

120 more wickets at the current rate.
Tough but not really that unrealistic.

If Virat Kohli had made another 3000 runs at his rate in 2019, He would've been above Viv Richards, but sadly, that's not how it works, HTD pacers usually decline, always be careful with rating them.

Oh yes, i was comparing him with Marshall 's wicket tally.
Interestingly bumrah's strike rate is lower than rabada since the start of WTC.

That’s why it is a hypothetical question

I am not asking if he will achieve those stats

I am asking how you will rate him if the manages it

It is. Do you really think he'll play long enough to take 120 more wickets, but will not decline and keep getting better?

If he somehow does, then hands down.

 

[Thala_0710]

If he does that, he's probably the goat. However, it's very unlikely he does.

If he keeps playing every test, he will decline.

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

Yeah, pick and choose may preserve his average, but reaching the wicket tally will be near impossible.

 

[Johan]

He will end up with Curtly Ambrose stats but with less longevity/wickets imo.

But higher WPM, and potentially lower average.

 

[Johan]

a little higher on both accounts I reckon, I don't think he'd surpass Ambrose.

 

[sayon basak]

He'll have a decently higher WPM. I think he'll end up with ~4.6 WPM. And don't really think it's highly unlikely that he ends up with a lower average. After all, he averages 19, and probably won't play long enough to ruin his average.

India has a sportsmen worshipping culture, I don't think they'd let him go soon unless an injury finishes him off, even if his performance is down, we already saw this with two of the current bats.

Tbf, Most of the Indians don't want to see any of the two in the team, but I do get your point.

@capt_Luffy can probably confirm.

Luffy does not even come close to representing the majority of the fanbase, or the management. World would be a better place if he did.

No, I meant he probably can confirm the current opinion of general people.
