I meant, good stance/take and I agree.

Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall
- Thread starter Darkshadows
- Start date

International 12th Man
Bumrah is playing like 10-12 Tests in the next 2 years so unlikely he will get another 100 wickets soon.

100 wickets in 10 Tests should be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

How do you know that?

Exactly this. 350 wickets @20 should place him alongside Marshall/McGrath/Hadlee.

Sounds about right.

He will be behind them for me based on bowling load capacity.

Yeah he isn't cracking 300 by 2027.
But by then he will be 34 years old. His pace will be down 10MPH. It's a questionmark how effective he will be at reduced pace and if he can replicate the same form, especially at home. He may need to retool his action.

If he finishes with 350 wickets @ less than 20 at the current rate I am placing him as the best ever

He almost certainly won't IMO.
In fact, I think this back spasm is an ominous sign that we are near the end of his peak. Suddenly niggles and pains get more common. Having a bad back is a pretty difficult thing for a fast pacer to manage in their 30s. Bumrah will have to reduce his pace to manage his strain and that may compromise his penetration.
He almost certainly won't be able to bowl the entire England tour but I expect with conditions there he will be fairly productive. At home, he may be used for shorter spells.

Well he currently has 205 in 45 matches. 4.56 WPM. That would need 32 more matches. I don’t think that happens. Certainly not still averaging under 20.
Last year he did 6.54 WPM. I also don’t see that continuing. But if it did he would need 23 matches.

If he can get to 300 wickets that’s enough for me

I don't think that is even a given.

How hard is taking 95 more wickets?

This era is very bowler friendly. Don't think 300@19 or so (and that's not very likely) would be enough for me to rank him as the greatest.

I mean depending on his form and how many wickets he’s taking it could be another 20 matches. At this point with his current injury and injury history I wouldn’t call that anywhere near a guarantee, would you?
