Rabada vs Amir

[lebron_fan]

whos better of the two? Who would you place your bet on being a great fast bowler in future.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Amir for me ....

[gakgupta]

easy answer....both of them

both are natural bowlers.....on a given day, they can run thru any kind of batting line-up......good for batsmen that they don't play for same country

Both of them are 400+ test wickets bowlers

Rabada is just 20 years old while Amir is 23 fake age+ 2-6 years so no comparison

Amir is almost 24 officially. Actually how much ??

It is better to wait for a couple of years, see them play in various condition and then form an opinion.

7 years ago as a 17 year old he touched 152 kph , This looks physically impossible , either that guy very early growth spur or we all know age of Pak cricketers ,BTW he never looked a teenage from the beginning , even when I saw him early batting with 31 year old Ajmal they hardly look officially 14 year apart

Adding 3 years on an average, to every Pakistani bowler's age, may bring us closer to the true age.

Akram was commentating with Sunny and Deep not too long back. He was reminiscing about a bowling performance and said that he was 19 then... Sunny and Deep started to laugh and said that they knew how accurate that official age was.   Akram did not counter it and laughed back sheepishly.

Afridi and Aamir are beyond Pakistan's official standard of hiding age

In swinging conditions, both are equally dangerous. Amir edges for me.

I am a massive rabada fan so I'll vote for him but both are world class talents and will sure be top 5 pace bowlers in the world.rabada for me is a complete bowler,inswing,outswing ,even uses the reverse swing well.amir will have to play a lot of his cricket on dead uae picthes so he'll have to exploit the reverse swing (which I haven't seen him do)

Rabada for me.

[speedheat]

Aamir should be at least 27 by his looks

Rabada vs amir vs alzarri I  will go for a guy who almost  made m.s. dhoni cry  RABADA!!!!!!!!!!

[Trichromatic]

Rabada is going ahead consistently.

[Nonbeliever]

Rabadaaaa

Amir. Obviously we have some bias towards Amir because he is a Pakistani and its natural but he is a damn good bowler. Coming back into international cricket after 5 years and bowling the way he is shows the class. The spell he bowled in Asia Cup or CT final is closest to perfection.

LMAO, any bowler looks a world beater with 340 on board. I know you posted this just to troll but by any measure, any stats, consistency, any parameter any sane person can use to judge, Rabada is miles ahead. One odd CT game doesn't prove anything just like Irfan Pathan or Ishant Sharma didn't become world class with a couple of good innings and winning us CT, T20 WC etc

 

And I hope people stop harping about coming back from his ban, it has been almost 2 years since he has come back and done Jack

 

And if people want to look at actual stats, since the last 1 year (Oct 2016)

 

Amir - 24 matches 50 wickets (tests and ODIs combined). Bowling average 34 (Tests 35.3, ODI 31.6)

 

Rabada - 30 matches, 94 wickets (tests and ODIs combined). Bowling average 24.5 (Tests 22.8, ODIs 29.7)

No I did not troll. I genuinely believe Amir is a better bowler than Rabada.

 

Infact I rate B.Kumar as a better bowler than Rabada.
