If I had to really ignore longevity, I'd choose Bumrah. Donald was pretty fast and intimidating, but Bumrah is one of his kind. Can swing the ball in both ways with almost the same seam presentation and release point, and can come round the wicket to bowl outswingers to the LHB, almost like a left arm pacer. His release point makes his inswinging yorkers even more attractive.

But I'm not gonna ignore longevity. Donald is a top 12/13 bowler of all time. Maybe Bumrah can end up with similar number of wickets at a better average and WPM, then He'd be a top ten for me, surpassing Donald. The fact is that, Donald himself is not some longevity king.
