Great prospect.Too difficult for a right handed batsmen to handle because of the angle he creates.Looks better than Sran. Ur thoughts? 

[tweaker]

Yes very impressed with him.

Has good pace,unusual action,good bouncer & a lethal Yorker

[Mosher]

Much much better than Sran.

The following is my opinion of Bumrah that I had posted in another thread

I am very hopeful about Bumrah for the following reasons

 

• he bowls in good areas while maintaining good speeds of 135 k to 143 k.
• he gets zip off the pitch
• his unorthodox action would make it difficult for the batsmen to gauge the trajectory of his deliveries
• he has a good yorker and good bouncer
• he gets seam movement and some swing too
• he does not look like a spraygun and bowls to a plan
• he has a good slower ball
• most importantly...he takes wickets

Looks like india have found their own version of malinga (not hyping though) .thr good thing is that he has such a calm mind,smacked for six but kept his composure and comeback with a yorker ,good to see him bowl yorkers at will .

That action will help him bowl in dipping Yorkers

[Bigg Brother]

Faulkner's wicket both the times was orgasmic...!!!!

[asterix]

Would like him to replace that Brainless Idiot, Yadav in the ODi format ASAP...

I was a bit surprised to see Sran picked ahead of Bumrah for the ODIs. Bumrah is the more " ready " pacer for LOIs among the new pacers coming up.

The reason given was that he is a left hander. This logic works when there are 2 or more pacers od similar quality or maturity..then the variation helps.

The great West Indian bowling attacks of the '70s and '80s did not have a single left arm pacer. Neither did the great Aussie attack of the late '90s and early 2000s.  They did not just take an average left-armer for the sake of variety.

finally someone who can bowl yorkers. too early to know how he shapes up.

lot of our bowlers start well, but dont maintain it,  has happened too many times with. I am not getting too excited. Let him play without pressure of expectations for a while. 

[Number]

Has unusual action hence not easy to read as of now in the start. Lets see if he can maintain this once novelty factor wears off.

Hasnt happened a lot lately though . Its been a few years we had a pace bowler start this well , but generally I get the scepticism .

There is no doubt there , as bad as our bowling has been there are a dozen or more better pace bowing prospects than sran .

As long as he keeps landing those yorkers, he will do ok. Yorkers have nothing to do with the novelty factor.

They all have started well. Aaron started well against England in ODIs. Yadav started well too at home in ODIs against WI and England. BK started well at home in ODIs.

We always look for pacers who combine pace with decent accuracy more than one off performances.

Yadav never had accuracy and BK never had pace.

Aaron's case is sad because, before his last injury and the operation that followed....Aaron combined extreme pace with decent accuracy in a few ODIs.  After coming back, his radar is not working...maybe because of some changes in bowling action.

[express bowling]

Injuries are the biggest threat to a pacer's career and have ruined many in terms of both pace and accuracy which has resulted from some change in action which was inevitable to protect the body.

Booby, Mohit, Yadav, Ishanth and again back to Booby, Mohit, Yadav, Ishant on and on it went. It's a good thing that Dhoni's arse was under fire in this series, he finally some tried new bowlers.

Yeah..we desperately needed to try new pacers.

True. Aaron started off really well against England. Bowled a few awesome reverse swinging yorkers. I think he picked up 2 or 3 wickets. But he got injured after that. Changed his action and never was the same bowler after that.

Aaron bowled well after his comeback vs SL. He bowled a few balls over 150K and then got injured again. Watch the video below of his bowling vs SL.
