What's ailing J Bumrah ?

He didn't undergo back surgery. I suspect without surgery back injury might surface again. They had messed up Aron in 2012 when they had said he didn't need surgery but then eventually had vo through it. Was on sidelines for one and a half years due to that fiasco.

If you want to become a world class bowler you have to excel in variety of conditions. We saw how Rabada struggled with SG ball in India. Bit like that Bumrah is struggling in swinging conditions on a not so pacy pitch. His pace is ideal for playing shots.

Bumrah did fine in swinging conditions in England.  In fact, conditions were quite benign after day 1. Also, people are blaming bowlers for getting NZ out at 350 on a flat pitch. Batsmen are to be blamed. Needed to score at least 450 in second innings.

tail scored far too many runs. There was mistake from bowlers as well and yes second inning batting was capitulation.

But you don't use Kookaburra there for Tests

He didn't look in any discomfort. He had wheels right through. His action also looked okay. May be there is something wrong uncocking his wrists.

I think Bumrah is a bit wary of giving his 100% because he is returning from injury. And this is probably not a conscious decision either but is just happening.

 

Pace, zip off the deck and heaviness of ball ... all these factors have become inconsistent. Sometimes there and sometimes not.  Earlier, he was always hurrying the batsmen and making them jump.

 

He is moving the ball much less than his pre-injury days.

 

His length and line have become less aggressive. He is bowling shorter and more leg-sidish. Probably because he is moving the ball less.

 

In short, he has not got his rhythm back after injury. Could well be a mental thing ... that is being cautious about using his whole body due to his recent injury.

Neither Bumrah nor Shami lost any pace. Their bowling style is not suitable here. You have to bowl a little slower and let the ball swing. 

 

Bumrah was bowling 140 kph to 150 kph consistently in tests in Australia in 2018-19 while bowling with the Kookabura ... but still getting consistent swing as well as seam movement. 

 

You don't have to bowl slower to get swing. Swing at pace actually results in late swing.

If you want blow the batsmen with pace you need to bowl at 150 clicks.

 

Bumrah can blow away the opposition with pace while bowling at 138 k to 148 k too.

 

Because of the zip off the deck, the heaviness of his balls, his closer release points and his deceptive action.

 

Quote

In order to extract bounce they have to pitch very short as they are relatively shorter which often goes over the keeper. They are unable to get bounce from a good length like Ishant gets. Ishant is taller. Naturally he will get more bounce. Also they don't get movement as they bowl too fast and they are skiddier. You cannot get wickets that easily without movement.

 

When Bumrah is bowling at a 100% then he gets good bounce off length. He keeps hitting the high part of the bat and makes batters jump 

 

This happens because of his high arm action, his unusually long limbs which result in a high release point for his height and his strong wrist action.

Bumrah's pace was sign8ficantly down in the first test in the WI ... because of which some of us kept pointing out that him carrying a niggle was possible.

 

In NZ, he is not bowling significantly slower than usual.

He seems to have rushed in,he did well in t20s but didn't look focused after that,i think IPL is in his mind ,he thinks his place in the side is a given,he thinks he can sort out things in IPL,we can't deny players across globe have started prioritizing IPL over national duty,this is bitter but true

He has been seen bowling 127-128.

i really doubt bumrah takes his place for granted. He’s one of the most intelligent and hardworking cricketers we’ve ever had.

 

Most have pointed out lack of consistency which is something he will have to figure out on his own or TM. 

 

A county stint would be much more useful than smashing batsmen for fun in ranji
