He might never be better than Akram.In odis he has not raised his level in knock out matches just like his captain. Wasim n waqar didnt enjoy bowling with new ball, give bumrah any ball he gets the job done. By own admittance of wasim - he said he cudnt control new balls for years and waqar himself hs admitted he didnt knew how to ball with new ball for years Bumrah is doing well without scratching the ball. I dnt think so its right to compare such long career to short one but till now bumrah has been no less then anyone in any format. He has ticked every possible box. Knockout is coz captain is filled with negative energy that affects whole team including himself. Kohli has done well in knockout under dhoni n t20.....was highest scorer in ct 2013, played a good knock in wc 2011 final. Link to comment

Waqar's quickest recorded ball was 152.x kph while Bumrah's quickest recorded ball is 153.3 kph. As per Cricviz data ... Bumrah has bowled 75 deliveries above 150 kph in 2018. And 46% of his deliveries in test cricket in 2018 were above 140 kph. Now, that is very quick. There is no evidence that Waqar was quicker than such impressive figures.

Sorry Bumrah is not pacier than Waqar.Waqar before his injury was express and had much more pace than Bumrah. On side note Bumrah is 11 tests old, let him play 50 odd tests before we classify him great fast bowlers.He is on his way but long way to go. Shaz1 1 Link to comment

Not pacier ... but about the same pace. Waqar has been clocked many times in his hey days. Very few balls were 150 k+. 4 minutes ago, putrevus said: On side note Bumrah is 11 tests old, let him play 50 odd tests before we classify him great fast bowlers.He is on his way but long way to go. No one is classifying him as a great fast bowler yet. Just pointing out the potential provided he can stay injury free. Rightarmfast, Mosher, Under_Score and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

Not just comparing but to out right say Bumrah is better. I think this is un called for. You can compare obviously. How many Tests has Bumrah played in India? Remember many Tests Pakistan played on were dead wickets like Faisalabad. Bumrah is a great bowler but won't be able to match Wasim, Waqar, Imran. These guys had charisma, sexy looks, reverse swinging yorkers and mad aggression. Nothing against Bumrah. He will be the greatest Indian bowler but not a patch on Wasim, Waqar or Imran for that matter. Edited August 31, 2019 by Mirpur express Link to comment

Have you seen Bumrah's unplayable yorkers? And why are you bringing things like charisma and sexy looks? We are not talking about wank potential here nor judging you on those things. vijaydude and Ranvir 2 Link to comment
