Averages 21 in 4th innings, but but but cannot bowl in 4th innings. Sure buddy. Your lies about bumrah get more hilarious every time. And he has the combo of all SR of Steyn Avg of Marshall Economy of McG Variations of Akram That too in an era where the bats are size of trunk of a tree, heavily compressed and even a slight touch will travel the ball away to the boundary. Sadly, he is still under appreciated and Asterix are being raised on his ability. If we dig deep, every fast bowler in history will have their moments where they failed to setup up. But Bumrah is scrutinized unfairly. Edited January 28 by singhvivek141 raki05 and Rightarmfast 2
Gollum Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Shane Bond and Ryan Harris were two guys with GOAT potential. Bumrah has had his share of injuries, but thankfully not as unlucky as those two beasts. Pattinson is another guy but he would have been max Hazlewood level.
Rightarmfast Posted January 28 Posted January 28 (edited) 2 hours ago, Gollum said: For me, McGrath is #1 because of how he always stepped up in big matches, and his record against the best batsmen of his era. Longevity is also a thing, it is one thing to average 21 but he did it over a span of 124 tests which is nuts. Bumrah also needs a few defining performances in WTC finals, WC SF/F etc. Or a prominent role in a marquee series win, the series coming up in NZ later this year is a good opportunity for him, since NZ has been his nemesis. What we sometime tend to forget is that Mcgrath was part of a 'GOAT' team. Gillespie/ Lee to bowl alongside him, Warne to bowl after him. All of that combined with a supercharged, super aggressive, and ultra moral-less team abusing at will on the opponents mothers, wives and girlfriends. It doesn't take away the greatness of Mcgrath. However, when Bumrah had Shami and Ishant bowling alongside, he easily did it way better than Mcgrath without the drama and histrionics of Mcgrath. For me, Mcgrath doesn't count over Bumrah anyday, anytime, anywhere! And trust me, I have watched almost all matches of Mcgrath live right from 90's.

Its just couple of our home grown losers, outside India he is pretty much universally admired Its very similar to how some jealous Indians used to attack Sachin, and slice and dice things to put him down because they were bitter fans of other batsmen like Dravid. And outside India and Pakistan Sachin was universally praised. speedster, singhvivek141 and Rightarmfast 2 1

Dont forget the captaincy and mere presence of players like Steve Waugh and Ponting and their field placement etc used to intimidate opposition batsmen. Rightarmfast 1

neel roy Posted January 30 Posted January 30 He is so important across formats. I nearly had a heart attack last match when he was feeling his calf. Maybe it was nothing but enough to give us sleepless nights thinking about Harshit bowling to QDK Miller Brook Buttler Stoinis et al with a dewy ball like a bar of lifebuoy soap. Rightarmfast 1

Shami outbowled Bumrah in both 50 over world cups, the one match Shami was off color India lost. Our genius could not pick one wicket in most bowler friendly WTC finals. Has any ATG bowler had so little impact on so many tournaments and knockouts. He showed up in 2024 world t20 Bravo. Sam Curran won MOS in 2022 world cup, does he become a great bowler. I said Bumrah is greatest Indian fast bowler.No he is not in top 10 ATG bowlers yet nor does he do well under pressure. Edited January 31 by putrevus
