Trundler shootout: Rank these medium pace bowlers on talent.


Recommended Posts

In what world is Boland quicker than Bumrah?

But yeah I agree he can be quicker at times than Siraj who has slowed down. Although in patches, Siraj can go up to 144k even now when triggered (happened in a spell or two even in the recent series).  But those times r very limited. 
 

Boland is the 4th seamer for a reason. The way these clowns r batting lately, any half decent bowler can get on a roll against these idiots. But the guy knows his limitations n bowls accordingly very consistently.

Boland 

 

When I see Boland (in combination with Head, the batsman) in Aus 11 overseas, I tend to put Aus as favourite.

 

The rest don’t inspire that much confidence so their ranking does not matter relatively speaking.

I don’t agree with those speeds. Watched all those games and Bumrah was often at 128 kph or 132 kph.

 

No doubt regarding those speeds. Those were Bumrah's quicker spells. Usually bowled in the first session and sometimes early part of 2nd session.  [ I write down the fastest speeds and LA ( lots of balls above ) speeds of Indian 140 k+ pacers for future reference ]

 

Lots of Indians watched the 3rd session or late 2nd session when he was at his slowest. 

 

I agree that this and the NZ series earlier were probably the only 2 series when Bumrah could not maintain speeds throughout the day and that is a concern. 

 

132 k were frequent in the last session but 120s were bowled only in some warm up overs and twice when he was injured. ( a single over in the 2nd test 2nd innings and a single over in the 5th test when he withdrew with back spasms )

No he wasn't, I've posted this about too many times already so you can check some of the stats from way back. His best year by far was 2018 when we had spicy pitches in every away tour + DRS - that was the biggest difference in his numbers!

Naah

 

He was good in Eng/NZ 2014.

 

Aus 2014 pitches were flat as was home series vs Eng 2016.

 

SA 2015 series pacers hardly did anything.

 

Was also great in SL 2015 which was a strongish team.

 

2018/2019/2020 was great

He was good-ish in those series; the reason I don't rate him much, if at all, is because he has no standout performances apart from Lords 2014 & Perth 2008 if you want another possible match turning spell.

And that's the biggest problem—he was an extremely conditions-dependent/limited bowler. Do you want me to show his stats in India, even at his peak? He was regularly outbowled by Shami/Umesh in India & BK/Shami then Bumrah away.

T20s:--

Mukesh Kumar

Muzarbani

Other 2 wont even make a cut in 15 member squad

 

ODI :

Muzarbani

rest 3 would/should not make it to playing 11 

 

 

Test in Swing friendly condition

Abbas

rest 3 would/should not make it to playing 11 

 

Test in Seam friendly condition

Boland

Have not seen much of Muzarbani in test with his height and extra bounce he can be v.useful but can he sustain pace and length over long period of time ?

rest 2 would/should not make it to playing 15

 

Muzarbani plays for Zim hence he is not talked about much but has all the ingredients for a fast bowler, he is decently quickly ~140ish kmph, gets bounce and does not ball too many hit-me or bad balls, In Zim vs Ind series he looked the best fast bowler by a distance amongst both the sides.

He was a good stock bowler who kept an end tight in flatter conditions. Was a perfect foil to other bowlers.

 

One of his great bowling efforts was Bangalore 2017 test day 2. Had just 1 wicket but didn't allow Aus to get a huge lead.
