Bumrah in ODIs post-2019 WC

[Gollum]

 

 

3 wickets he picked: #11 Zampa, Finch after his 100 previous match, Labu today. Not one wicket in his opening spell, lack of wicket taking deliveries throughout the innings, yorkers missing, just going through the motions and smiling like an idiot after getting clobbered for 4s and 6s. 

 

For someone who can't hold a bat and who is clumsy like Jar Jar Binks on the field, some shocking numbers. What's wrong?

Even against NZ in semis, he was not that great.

[ShoonyaSifar]

He was not fully fit vs NZ. Was a forced comeback and hasn't looked the same bowler. Needs time away from int'l cricket to sort out his bowling rhythm or at least just to play the longter formats.

 

Remember all this because he was forced to play in some useless LOIs in WI immediately after the WC.

Bumrah looked fine in IPL but if he is having physical issues, he should opt out of the tour. No point in risking another injury. Bumrah needs a swing bowler as his opening partner.

Bring this Bumrah back.

Disappointing from Bumrah. But he has been good in tests since 2 years, let's see his performances in tests.

This Phase was suppose to come , teams will come up with a plans against u once they figures u out....williamson started by targetting him over covers. Top players come out of it n counter it

Was he good in NZ in tests?I thought he played in those tests.

Need to partner him with a good new ball bowler up front.

He was okayish. I don't have the stats but in NZ batsman surrendered meekly most often.

I know you cannot blame bowlers when batsmen including his captain cannot score 150 on regular basis. That series loss was completely on batsmen and Kohli.He disappeared as a batsman.

Bc NZ mei aadhe test tou miss hi hojata by the time you wake up. I didn't watch most of it but was he that bad? I remember him picking 2-3 wkts late in 2nd test but I didn't know he was leaking runs as well

2nd test 2nd innings he started coming in the groove, too late by then. Before that terrible. But as you said can be overlooked, batsmen were to blame. If you can't score 400 runs across 2 innings in a test match even Lloyd's quartet won't save you from defeat.

This is where Shastri's statement comparing to 1980s sounds hollow. Those WI teams had 7 or 8 great great fast bowlers who could fill in and do very well if main bowlers were hurt or had to rest. India after big three has noone, this notion  many ICFers have that Saini or Siraj  should have been given chances so India could have had depth is completely bogus.

 

Nether Saini nor Siraj are in the class of  those three in test cricket. I don't put much stock on these odis.These pitches are so flat it is completely wrong to assess any bowler.

Bumrah bowled excellently in the 2nd test in NZ.

 

Picked up 5 wickets including Williamson off a nasty bouncer.

Hope he does well in this series too. Saini or Siraj don't give me any confidence.

Bumrah looks tired in this series, after 50 odd gruelling days of IPL.

 

He needs some rest before the test series.

 

Also, he is bowling a bit defensively and that is a mindset issue. He was much more aggressive and attacking in the IPL.and the 2nd test in NZ.

No difference was Bolt always was putting pressure by talking early wickets.Finch is a sitting duck if ball moves an inch but nobody is able to do it. Shami is one change bowler in tests and odis too.  So there is no pressure of wickets from Shami either.

I don’t think blaming bumrah is correct . Selection policy is to be blamed . Having the a spinner who can bowl in the first 10 is very important if packed get hit ..... hmmm...do we have a guy who can do that for India in Australia .....???
