You are just underrating his accuracy and his sheer weight of metronomy. Link to comment

Line, length, pace, control stamina, mental fortitude, everything. Tell me what he is missing (in potential). Remember, he has definite potential to be ATG candidate. In other words, nothing in his career so far rules him out. Now it's potential to become an ATG? You said he WILL be an ATG Two different things Link to comment

In the future, he WILL be because he HAS THE POTENTIAL right now. Two different things, and my argument is consistent. Hope you understand me. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Ranked 3rd in ODIs and 4th in T20Is as a bowler. http://www.espncricinfo.com/rankings/content/page/211270.html Just debuted in test and picked 14 wickets in 3 tests averaging 25. You genuinely believe Bumrah is better than Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood, Boult and Rabada? What skills does Bumrah possess that the latter don’t? Im not trying to degrade Bumrah, he’s clearly one of the best India has ever produced all I’m saying is that he’s not an ATG bowler. Link to comment

No one can say after 2 years of international cricket, who will be an ATG and who will not be. There is many a slip between the cup and the lip. But he has all the ingredients and performances so far ( averages 25.2 in tests, 22.9 in ODIs and 19.2 in T20Is so far ) Edited February 10, 2018 by express bowling Link to comment

I genuinely think that only Rabada is better than Bumrah. Boult averages 28.6 while playing 50% of his tests in NZ ...does not enter this discussion. Bumrah is more focused than Starc or Cummins.

I am merely saying, Bumrah is on the path of an all-time great. Nothing so far in his career rules him out. KG- ability to reverse the ball from both sides of the wicket at 90 mph+. Starc- quicker, fear factor, reverses it. Hazlewood- more accurate, can seam and swing it and gets more bounce performances all around the world in all formats. Cummins- I’ll take Bumrah in LOI due to his ability at the back end, but as overall bowlers no competition here. Cummins can swing it both ways, accurate and gets more bounce. Boult- Better with new ball, on par with the older ball. Link to comment

maniac Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Has a natural inswinger like Srinath but @rkt.india @express bowling @Rightarmfast Etc can correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t seem to have an outswinnger.... can’t recollect him nailing one... if he adds that to his armory can be lethal. This is why so disappointed in Umesh.... had a natural outswinger and added the ball that comes in too but lost all control and consistency. Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment

I don’t even think that posters on this website would agree with that let alone the neutral world. I assume your there at the Aussie training sessions or have somehow entered the minds of Cummins and Starc to come up with that last statement. Edited February 10, 2018 by Ellipsism Link to comment

Didn’t you call some Shawarma or someone and Rumman Raees as ATGs when they have done jack at any level and you at arguing against a guy who has done brilliantly in every format and every opportunity he has got lol Edited February 10, 2018 by maniac Rightarmfast and JaFanatic 2 Link to comment

It is reflected in Bumrah's averages. Bumrah is simply better and more accurate. A simple eye test proves this. There is no other explanation. The bottom line is that Bumrah is simply better and higher in quality. Link to comment

I don’t think I’ve called any current Pakistani bowler a ATG in the making. Link to comment

I am not talking about opinion of people I am talking about effectiveness. Bumrah is higher on the ICC bowlers' rankings in ODIs and T20Is than all these bowlers barring Boult in ODIs. Bumrah has a better ODI average than Rabada, Cummins, Boult, Hazlewood Bumrah has a better test average than Starc, Boult, Bumrah has a better T20I average than Rabada, Cummins, Boult. Hazlewood. lamellavig and Rightarmfast 1 1 Link to comment
