Bumrah needs to be tried in Test matches

He should have been given an extended run, but I'm not sure why they didn't get him started in the SL Tests if the intention was for him to play in Tests here.  It's this that concern me greatly because it speaks of piss poor planning by the powers that be in Indian cricket. 

True. No matter whether he succeeds or not, he deserves a chance. But it's surprising that they selected him for SA series and not for SL series.

one trick pony in tests right now. just brings the ball back in. needs an out swinger, which is not possible with his action. 

 

1. That is incorrect.  Bumrah has developed the away-going delivery ( both seaming-away and outswing  )  in the last 6 months.  They showcased this on TV both yesterday and on the SL 17 tour.  We saw him move the ball away often enough yesterday.

 

2. There have been many top pacers in history who did not move the ball both ways. They had one-sided movement and the straighter ball.

It is piss poor planning, people here have mentioned it countless times that it's unfair to bring him into the test team with him having played no FC matches.

 

Even if he had played SL his line and length would have needed adjusting to SA , this is where a warm up match or two would have been useful

Absolutely.  He could have been much more effective if he had played a couple of tests vs SL or even a couple of Ranji matches .....and done his conditioning-for-tests training at the NCA during the LOI series.

 

But the people who are questioning his performance, (  that too his debut test innings in which he bowled decent enough )  are forgetting that his replacements would be one of 2 pacers who both average around 36 after 79 and 36 tests respectively.  It is not as if Shami or Bhuvi are being made to sit out.

Icf is ready to retire any player who has a poor ten mins let alone a game . You have some after one day saying rip shami . Only on icf lol

Think most people are in agreement that he would have been much better if he had played some FC cricket before coming here either Ranji or tests Vs SL.

it's not really the same ball game as ODIs even against tailenders. besides, ashwin can also do this by using the variations.

This is the type of article that make me hate Cricinfo, he is just looking at the scorecard and criticizing after the fact. after the first day He is critical of the run rate india gave away saying its too good of bowling pitch to give away runs but looking at the pandya innings the following day it shows that their is clearly plenty of reward in the pitch for batsman who play their shots, hence the aggressive approach from devilliers, de cock faf and the tailenders.

Bumrah has shown that he can be used on these helpful pitches. Had he played a bit against Sri Lanka in the last series, it would have helped. He looked little rusty but one might like it or not, but I will play Bumrah again in the next test.

 

Bumrah showed signs of improving in the first test. He had some unplayable balls which came in to the batsmen and Saha was collecting the balls far wide on the leg side after it missed the off stump. This showed that he has some weapons to cause South Africa some trouble. He is one of those bowlers who might not be handy much at home but once in a while we should throw him in, and South Africa is the best place. I would like to see him play as he is already now playing and will only bowl better in the 2nd test.

Agree. He is just bowling like a better version of md Amir and Hasan ali.. does look rubbish 

[King Tendulkar]

Rip bumrah 

 

o wait . Just bowled a snorter to get faf 

 

some one give him kiss of life 

[express bowling]

Bowled really well in the 2nd innings of his debut test.

 

He is a fast learner and we saw him improve his line and length a lot.

 

He bowled with pace, bounce and movement and mostly bowled on or just outside the off-stump

 

Bowled some real snorters in this match.

 

4 wickets @ 28 with a SR of only 45, justifies his selection 

[express bowling]

Bumrah has become the leader of the attack in test matches by his 4th test.

 

2 fifers in 4 tests ... just wow   !

Holding said in South Africa that a hit the deck bowler like Bumrah won't work in England and needs to be dropped there.
