Now: I would put Rabada up there in all conditions? Top 2 bumrah and rabada. Rabada has 319 poles at 21.7 and deserves to be in the conversation.

Yep, He wasnt injury prone like Bumrah. So mcgrath still better due to longevity. But in terms of raw Stats, Bumrah is better on a peak basis.

McGrath played in a much more batting friendly era though.

MJ 2013/14 was definitely the first series that came into my mind

Yeah, hard to choose between the two. MJ was visceral and literally out for blood; Bumrah's been more skillful and a different kind of exciting, but been badly let down by a shocking lack of support. I'd say I've enjoyed both equally for slightly different reasons.

Been my favorite player in cricket for a couple of years now. Always happy see him succeed even against us. It's a damn shame he'll never get to play Pakistan in Tests, would be easy wickets for him haha.
My biggest worry about him is health. Hope he can stay healthy enough to have a long career.

He’s 31. If he can play until 35, it would be so marvelous. As a selfish person I hope he gives up the other formats (except IPL for the $$) and tries to maximize his Test peak.

The stats for Bumrah are correct (except his BBI is 6/76) but unless I'm doing my sums wrong, some of the stats for the other bowlers are incorrect and exaggerate how badly they have done and how little support they have given Bumrah:

I'm getting for the other bowlers:
36 wickets, 41.22 average, 3.71 economy, 66.67 strike rate (the BBI and fifers are correct)

If you want to see what a lack of support really is, consider Hadlee's last tour to Australia in 1987 when he was 36 (5 years 5 months older than Bumrah is now, with nearly 15 years of Test cricket behind him):
Hadlee:
18 wickets, 19.61 average, 52.0 strike rate, three (consecutive) fifers, one tenfer
Other bowlers:
19 wickets, 57.4 (!) average, 134.7 (!) strike rate
Now THAT is a lack of support.
