Bumrah should be in test team ASAP

[NareshK]

Bowling with great pace, swing and control today. Shami, Bumrah, Bhuvi, Hardik and Kuldeep should be the bowling attack in SA with Umesh and Jaddu/Ashwin as backup.

Umesh. He will always be an inconsistent bowler who will have a few good days and mostly bad days. Not good enough to be considered a test bowler. Needs to make way for someone else.

Umesh the ODI bowler is inconsistent. As a test bowler he was the standout pacer in the home season. Took the responsibility of leading the pace attack in absence of Shami and did the job really well.

He bowled poorly in SL series. The difference between him and Shami was day and night. This is what you get with Umesh and we have already seen enough of him to know that he will always remain inconsistent. He will not turn suddenly into some wicket taking bowler at this stage of his career. If you pick mediocrity, you will get mediocre results.

Looks like you missed his bowling in the home season then.

Umesh looked tired to me after 20 tests, the IPL and loads of ODIs in the last 12 months

 

There needs to be a rotation policy for our fit pacers too.

I am still not entirely convinced about his ability in longer format. You need genuine outswing bowler in Tests. After Kapil dev we had very few. Balaji and Sreesanth that's it.  Wish someone like Sandeep sharma had added some pace to his bowling.

Most pacers, with less than 25 average in test cricket, were / are  not outswing bowlers.

 

Many of them were not swing bowlers even and depended on seam movement and bounce.

Bumrah doesn't belong to that category anywhere yet. He is good in ODIs where batsmen take some risks. If you really want to play him out, you think it is so hard to play him out? Bulk of his  wickets come during death overs or when there is pressure to accelerate

Did you watch him bowl with the new ball today ?   Batters could not play him out trying to defend.  Lots of jaffas and plays-and-misses apart from the wickets.  And none of the other 5 pacers looked that dangerous.

 

Bumrah has accuracy, pace, bounce and seam movement ..... can swing it if conditions help.  Could be ideal for tests.

 

The only thing I want to find out is whether he can sustain intensity and pace bowling 15+ overs a day.  Won't know till he plays in a couple of tests.

Yup that as well. Zaheer used to be so good for few overs. But his second spell would average around 125k.  I won't jump the gun yet. I have seen Test specialists over the years. Bumrah has a long way to go before establishing himself as a seamer.

We need to just try him out in a couple of tests  ( only way to find out where he stands )  ....  no need to jump the gun regarding how he would fare.

[Lannister]

Shami, Umesh, Bumrah and Hardik should be the pick of fast bowlers for the first Test match against SA, if we ever hope to win. 

[renjith]

It will be idiotic now not to try bumrah in tests.

[Sean Bradley]

must be tried in subcontinent conditions, if he can get reverse swing going with those yorkers could turn out to be a handy prospect.

Even more strength in depth to pace attack . Great days
