Bumrah dominating all of the best batters of his era

 

[DrWolverine]

Jarrod Kimber had discussion about Bumrah vs Mcgrath
So many do think Bumrah in a top tier

Jasprit Bumrah is easily the best bowler of this generation so obviously he is going to be compared to the greats.

Steven Smith was being compared to the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and called as second best as early as around 2017.

That was a mistake

It’s just human nature. They get excited when a new talent displays greatness and compare them to the greats of the past.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Average in India/SL/Pak
1. Bumrah : 47 wickets @ 19
2. Rabada : 20 wickets @ 33
3. Cummins : 17 wickets @ 30
4. Hazelwood : 0 (No wicket taken in 1 match)

I agree Bumrah's the best of the 4, but due to politics (not his fault) he's never bowled in the fast bowlers' graveyard that is Pakistan.

Also Rabada had an amazing tour of Bangladesh - one of the greatest ever by a fast bowler to Asia.

He's still top ten tho. So, not "very" wrong.

 

[Coronis]

Garner : His worst record is in Aus yet averaged 25. He did not play in India though.

The true GOAT imo. Plus there’s his batting to consider.

Yes it was amazing but lets be fair, Bangladesh batsmen aren’t necessarily the greatest challenge.

No, but their pitches definitely are!

But added SL???

Bang @ home : Played 8. Won 1. Lost 7.

[Johan]

True

Garner : His worst record is in Aus yet averaged 25. He did not play in India though.

Given his height, Garner would bowl a good length delivery in Australia and it'd be a bouncer.
