A comparison was made in another thread between Bumrah's situation and Hadlee's. The difference between their support levels overall throughout their Test careers is like night and day, and even in the current series when Bumrah has had less support than usual, he still has had a lot more support than Hadlee.
Cbf to work it out but are the non-Bumrah figures the totals and averages of all runs not off him? Thus counting byes and leg byes towards the averages and economy
I was wondering about that myself. I'll look into it (I cbf (c = can, this time) to work it out!!!). I think I've done it the right way though because I've focussed on the other bowlers' performances.
Bumrah has had more than enough support. I think people on here just have short memories as usual. This series notwithstanding, it wasn't too long that indians on here and their media were boasting about Indias pace attacks and especially there bench strength with guys like Shami, Yadav, Siraj, etc. And thats not mention the spinners, who are especially a handful at home. Bumrah is no lone wolf like Hadlee, he's played with quality attacks for most of his career.
Yeah that's exactly what I was talking about. Siddle and Harris were superb that series as well.
Its obviously true for this series. But at least one poster has already tried to claim Bumrah > McGrath because McGrath played in a great attack. Complete revisionist history.
Rest of the bowlers face averaged 42.xx
I just checked and for the period since Bumrah made his debut, 8 other Indian bowlers have averaged under 26 for that period and taken a minimum 25 wickets .
It's about this series. The rest have really not been great. Without Bumrah, we're probably 3-0 down right now.
Definely not better than Steyn at this point, nor McGrath.
And just bullshit.
Think Bumrah is so far ahead already that we can skip the so far.
Maximum of 9 wickets next match.
I think that if Bumrah never gets a tenfer, you're going to die a happy man. You're what's called a meanie!!!!!
