Jasprit Bumrah - Best average in last 100 years (min 150 wkts)

[Serpico]

If the pitches stay like this for rest of the series and Bumrah plays all remaining tests, he average might even dip below 20 which will be insane

As a student, seeing high quality fast bowlers from other countries win matches and terrorise batters, I always dreamt of India having two Fast bowlers who average 23 or less in Test matches and can bowl at 90 mph.

 

Took a long time to come, but Bumrah has done both.  

 

Thank you Boom !

Bumrah has discovered the secret to taking test wickets in all conditions and mastered the execution part too.

Took a while, lekin finally jo product aaya wo besssst aaya! 

But lets still give him 50 tests.

Besides that, what is commendable is that his away stats are stupendous and he happens to always take the top tier wickets. 

[RJman]

Maintaining this is near impossible. But what an achievement! Bravo Bumrah! 

[Majestic]

Phenomenal bowler. Does it home and away both. On its way to become one of the best ever.

I remember you started a thread here back in 2016-17 iirc that he should be given a chance in test cricket.

Quite an epic call.

 

[Vijy]

it will probably finish around 23-24 when he retires, which will still be phenomenal for an indian pacer

[mishra]

It was lovely to watch  him today. Unplayable 

[sensible-indian]

ATG - GOAT material.

 

The world has never seen such a complete pacer like Bummy.

 

Can bowl in tests, odis and t20s.

 

Great at both conventional and reverse swing. More so with reverse swing.

 

Can get the ball to jag around after pitching at every stage of the game.

 

Incredible slower delivery that's lethal in all formats.

 

A mean yorker to boot.

 

Can open the bowling, bowl in the middle overs and then go on to york batsmen at the death.

 

Can turn the game around by delivering a Steyneque knockout spell on a dead or batting friendly track (Oval, Vizag).

 

The only bowler who had it all like him was Wasim Akram.

 

I don't know the cricviz swing and seam stats, but from my memory, Bummy gets more seam while Akram gets more swing.

 

Glenn McGrath was the most scary and clutch bowler I have ever seen in my life...but I am not sure he would have the same aura he had playing ODIs and T20s in the modern era. But he would totally destroy modern test bats for sure with DRS in play.

 

Coming back to Bummy, he has the potential to retire as the greatest all format, all conditions, all situation bowler the world has ever seen.

Top top bowler ,an ATG already and in course to become one of the best !

Got all the arsenals in his repertoire. 

That Yorker to castle Pope was Out of the world 

[The Realist]

Different class from the rest. KP and Gough were giggling at the chasm between what Bumrah brings to the party and the ineptness of Kumar.

 

However Bumraj needs quality support othwewise will burn out/get injured carrying the burden of the bowling. 

[First class]

On his way to be an ALG. Wil be interesting to see where he ends up when he retires . He is at the peak of his game, whether he loses some average at the later stage of his career and if he does , how much. Waqar Younis had much lower average at his peak but lost some later on , as did Imran Khan.

its a shame..we are not having another good pacer to bowl alongside him currently..

He won't be overworked at home conditions but can be overseas. Lets just hope that Shami lasts another few years and one of Mavi,Siraj and Malik can make it stick to fill Shami's shoes as Bumrah's partner.

Just stay healthy. And hope they minimize his workload in t20s.

Easily the best bowler ever produced ever by Indian Cricket, Tests are his best format and I wish he can continue till 2028 and end up with 250+ wickets. 

 

But knowing BCCI they will bowl him to ground even on irrelevant bilaterals coz the selectors & coach don't want to put efforts on grooming next gen quicks.

[Adamant]

Easily the best bowler in the world, no doubt about it.
