gakgupta Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Based on recent (last 2-3 years of performances) Rabada Bumrah Cummins Abbas Anderson Hazelwood Boult Philander Ishant Roach Shami Starc Broad Above list looks good but if you consider bowlers who are good irrespective of conditions, then Hazelwood & broad should not be in that list...Infact, Lakmal and holder are ahead of these guyzSent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Tapatalk
R!TTER Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 The top 3 looks just about right, the rest are highly conditions dependent - some way more than others.
rtmohanlal Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Ishant over Starc??? that's why these type of lists are so difficult to compile....

With sand paper, Starc would be in the top 3.... But looks like the moderator compiled this list not considering the sand paper...So starc is at the rightful place Vk1 and chewy 2

Rightarmfast Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 On a personal level, I rate Bumrah just a tad higher than Rabada. Simply because Bumrah has played his cricket away from home, whereas Rabada has had the luxury of playing 90% of the matches at home. His average also has an upward trend in matches at Sri Lanka express bowling 1
neel roy Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Also Rabada started playing since 2015. Bumrah in one yr itself has proven to be handful Rightarmfast 1
mishra Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Cummins Rabada Bhumra Steyn Anderson Starc Shami Broad Hazzlewood Stokes Gabriel. Above is not based on any stats. Thats my personnel choice. I feel, if a captain is asked to choose which 2-3 bowler he will choose to his playing 11, He will go and choose in that order. PS: None of Pakistani pacer in that list because They are simply trundlers. If pitch doesnt assist, They wont make the cut
Pollack Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I would rate Bumrah over Rabada. No country bias. Seriously believe it. Rightarmfast 1

Some assistance from pitch and he becomes a monster. You can allways bank on Anderson to extract best off conditions . In test arena, getting one opener early is like mining gold Edited January 26, 2019 by mishra Cricketics 1
carnish Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 1. Rabada 2. Bumrah 3. Cummins 4. Anderson 5. Hazlewood 6. Roach 7. Boult 8. Shami 9. Wagner 10. Lakmal
Samcric Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Any particular issue with the ICC rankings that you do not agree with that? I follow it regularly and believe it to be the most objective evaluation of rankings. Since fans of one country do not always watch the matches of other countries, there is always a chance of bias towards players that we watch more of. Cricketics 1

Anderson isn't outrageous choice. I was just pointing out the reason for excluding Pakistani bowlers. That reason applies to Anderson also. Most pakistani pacers don't make to the list because they aren't good.
R!TTER Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Anderson is in top 5 if you exclude Steyn but a fit Steyn is still a top 5 test bowler, anywhere in the world.
