Bumrah needs to be tried in Test matches

[rkt.india]

We need to keep Bumrah away from useless t20s, develop other bowlers for that.

[sensible-indian]

Exactly

 

He is a precious gem.

 

Not every day do you find a pacer who combines intelligence, pace, bounce and accuracy.

He forgot himself too.

That action though. I still don't know if he will last for a long time. But for now he's getting the job done.

    He will be a HIT  in  test crickets also. I have no doubt about it. Watch  Ranji SF   game.

    In recent years ENG , SA did not provide out & out seam pitches but Bouncy pitches with bit of movement .

   He will be very handy in such pitches too.

    Breakdown is the worry . 

    If that happens we would lost a gem in ODI team

      I am so so so  happy today what i  foresaw a year ago. 

      Hope my gut feeling about Mavi & Gill also becomes true.

His no ball issue is a concern. The match extended till tomorrow.

I can’t forget CT2018 Finals...

He needs to work on it. Umpires now check no ball for every wicket he takes...

As Akram said ... Bumrah's body is used to this action from his younger days.

TBH, i do not see any problem with his action.  Yes, he is not the most biomechanically correct action but then it goes for most fast bowlers.  Look at Stokes he has such a bad bio-mechanical action and you never know when his back would break.

A good bowler is a good bowler irrespective of the format. Make this guy play tests and he will win you games and develop his overall game spectacularly.

it shows how wrong these ex-cricketers or so-called experts can be.  Some of them are just opinionated and refuse to accept the reality.

If you were old enough, you'd have seen bowlers like Colin Croft - genuinely fast, with very steep bounce (typical of 70s/80s WI giants) and someone who bowled off the wrong foot ! Lasted till he was 30 or so. If you can bowl off the wrong foot and not break-down into your 30s, Bumrah's action is fine. 

On the other hand, you have great actions like Brett Schultz or Shane Bond and they are more fragile than a china doll....
Actions are funny thing - yes, standard good 'high arm action, good jump, pivot, bending the back to almost touch the ground post-release' ( Ala Schultz, Bond, Donald, Holding, Lee, etc) are better for MOST people....but not everyone is built the same way/has the same hip/shoulder/buttocks etc. shape, musculature, etc. 

Bumrah has so far done well and usually if a bowler's bowling style is going to be injurious to them, they usually have a major breakdown or injury-riddled time by their mid 20s. Bumrah so far has not, indicating his action is fine for his body.

Only issue with bumrah is the no-ball problem. What if England needed 20 runs left to win? CT 2017 finals and didnt he have a no-ball in the 2016 wt20?

Yeah stokes has a very bad action too. In fact, it's worse than bumrah's

Bond actually had a very bad action which actually led to all those stress fractures. Relied too much on counter rotation to extract pace. Was not biomechanically efficient at all. Donald and Holding had superb actions which allowed them to bowl at pace for a long time.

I hope so.

Waiting for another Bumrah blitzkrieg in the upcoming test series.

 

49 wickets in only 10 tests so far at an average of 21.9

 

Bowling with genuine pace, bounce and accuracy and moving the ball both ways.

 

And has already become the leader of our pace attack in just 1 year.

You dont rate Ishant as our leader with 90 tests to his name.

The leader of an attack is the most lethal bowler without whom the attack looks inferior. He is the bowler who the opposition fears the most.  It is not dependant on the number of tests played.

Bumrah bowling in a test in Australia.  Gets a 6-fer
