Please don’t make this comparison ever again. Shaheen is a hack.

Shaheen probably has a better chance of actually having a full career tbf.

Bumrah is destined to be top 5 Asian fast bowler, just needs to stay healthy.

Needs to be able to do more with the old ball first.

Moooo
He was better when his face resembled a couch

Shaheen shah is just good with the new ball. As the ball gets softer he struggles. Plus he can't take the benefit of the pitch due to his overpitched bowling. Bumrah along with Rabada and Maybe Starc is the best all format bowler currently. If he can play more than 50 tests and 150 odis he will surely be among the top 5 best fast bowler from Asia ever.

You can’t be the best all format bowler when you haven’t played a format in a year and a half.

That same goes for Afridi as he wasn't available for a year. Still Bumrah is the best all format bowler.
Cummins good in tests, average in odis
Rabada great in tests ,above average in odis
Starc above average in tests, great in odis
Boult is not available for his side
Shaheen not available for 1 year in test, good in odis
Bumrah not available for 1 year in tests, great in odis.
So according to you who is the best
Shaheen is better

idc tbh. I don’t really care much about ODI’s (I might watch some of the WC), or T20’s (only watch if I’m drinking at a mates and they have it on in the bg)

Still it is quite an important format. I agree more weight is given to tests but odis also has a special place. It tells about the adaptability of a bowler and how can he perform when batsman are onto him. And if you give more weightage to tests then Bumrah should be a clear cut winner as he is twice as good as shaheen in tests. Performed in Aus,Eng,SA,WI . Good home record(played too less but still).

No Ngidi is a better limited over bolwer. Can get wickets in any phase of the match.

Hopefully Shaheen can stay fit to take 300+ wickets

Shaheen is gifted for sure, but Bumrah has already proved himself across multiple conditions. Bumrah just needs to maintain his good record. Shaheen has to build one first.
