sandeep Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Quote "Look at everything else he does, he's classical. He moves two balls into the batsmen, and the other one goes away. Then two away from him, and then one into him. This is how we did, this is how fast bowlers have operated over the years. But the best one knows how, where and when to bowl. And Bumrah seems to have this awareness, which usually takes a lot of time to develop, a lot of experience. But how old is he? How many Tests has he played? He's a quick learner, isn't he? "To me, it has been the most striking feature of him. Some call it maturity. I call it game sense. There seems to be clarity in his thinking, and that automatically shows in his bowling. Some bowlers, very skillful ones, don't develop it even 10 years after they had played the game. That's the biggest thing for a fast bowler, to learn how to use your head." I have been saying it ever since Bumrah became an India player - this guy is an old soul of a bowler, instinctively knows when to bowl what. AND has the skillset to execute it. We have had skillful bowlers in the past, but never a young guy with the nous so early in his career. Zaheer developed it, but by that time, he was well past his prime and didn't have the pace to be lead dog. @express bowling I just hope Bumrah can have 5 good injury free years. Even 4 more from here. It will be amazing to watch. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27473884/jasprit-bumrah-game-sense-most-striking-feature-andy-roberts TheWall, velu, express bowling and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

Rightarmfast Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 That was a poor comment to make @Shaz1! You really think he cares for ipl? You know his age? With that logic, no player ever should say anything about indian players. Ask Wasim Akram not to make comments on indian players. Seems they want ipl contracts badly!

Vk1 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 One of the most breath taking fast bowling I have ever seen on tv was this Mohammed asif in srilanka at Kandy. But now I doubt if that was an inspirational spell or if there was any ball tampering. Bumrah's spell , I would remember for a long time. Real McCoy 1 Link to comment

You used a poor example of Wasim Akram. He has a track record for saying stuff to get a opportunity else where. So him saying it to get a IPL contract is not beyond him. Secondly I never said no player should ever say anything good about Indian cricketers. That is your own judgement not mine. My logic does not dictate it since I only talked about one cricketer not your whole team. If you truly believe this guy is too old and not deserving of a IPL contract just because of his age than that is your opinion. If I was him I saw a money opportunity like the IPL contract gives, I too would say some buttery things to get that opportunity. There is nothing wrong with going for extra cash.

Andy Roberts is almost 70 years old and completely retired. He has zero interest in getting any coaching or commentary gigs. To claim that his compliments for Bumrah were motivated by money, is not only inaccurate, its foolish. Link to comment

MechEng Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Andy Roberts and Michael Holding are few folks who are very difficult to please. "But if he were born here back in our days, we would have had him. A freak was the only element missing in our bowling line-up. In fact, Bumrah is the only variety of bowler we had never produced" This will take time to sink in, wow! Edited August 28, 2019 by MechEng Cricketics and express bowling 2 Link to comment
New guy Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Why let a troll comment spoil this nice thread? I hope indians know Bumrahs value and keep him fit for really important series Link to comment
express bowling Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Ambrose went even further in his praise. "At times, he rekindles memories of our prime," he said. "The pace, aggression, the hostility, the craft. The way he outclasses the batsmen, the way he out-thinks them. He could have been one of us, he's so complete a bowler that he could have played in any era." Vk1, Rightarmfast, CG and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment
