As muh as  a genius Bumrah is when it comes to fitness and athleticism not many can match Starc. Not even Cummins.

Would you say Bumrah is athletic?

,I think the extreme heat in IPL where he plays regularly for MI should stop now for if we want him to play more tests,he has played too less if you compare it withhis peers ,what do you think about this, particulary at this phase (age) of his career?

Man, with all due respect, it is more likely he curbs his international playing and esp tests rather than curb playing IPL.

 

IPL is where the money is and in the world we live in that is what matters the most.

 

I know, I know, I know, that he already is well off but...... it is never enough.

He is not athletic. Definitely. Haven't you seen him field? He barely has a run up. He just strolls and generates everything in the last stride.

Knee bumped on the ground while fielding.

The cricinfo article is saying it’s a chronic injury he’s been carrying since the T20 World Cup - and that he’s been on steroids / injections to manage that.

Who replaced him?

We don't need a replacement. Siraj, Prasidh, and Gurnoor are enough for the two Test matches. We will play only two fast bowlers in a Test, but if Sri Lanka prepares a pitch that aids fast bowlers( highly unlikely) , we can play all three.

Good opportunity to add a batsman

Aaqib Nabi replaced Bumrah.

One more trundler who bowls at an speed of women's cricket is gonna play for international men's team.

 

Selectors & BCCI are joke.

Exactly !

 

He will block a spot and the development of a high potential genuine quick.

I meant the trio is very well managed ,they have been around for 10 + years,

We have also managed Bumrah well up untill now

Hazalwood too has been there playing for Aus regularly from 2014 onwards ,while Cummins is literally as experienced as Bumrah,Starc has mostly decided to skip IPL to stay fit 

Considering how unatheltic and injury prone bumrah is, and his unorthodox action, the fact that he has nearly 250 wickets in tests, is testimony of how well Bumrah has been managed.

Not gone through the thread but have the “fit for IPL, injured for India” comments been posted?

What an achievement to be not 'athletic', and yet touch 150kph, and still be touching 145+ after so many international yrs in the game. Yes, absolutely unathletic.

Have you seen his run up? He just jogs. Have you ever seen Bumrah sprint even while bowling. You are confusing between ahtleticism and fast bowling. It can be mutually exclusive.  Krunal pandya from standing position could bowl at 125k. Bumrah's effectiveness is in wrist snap speed which is higher than most guys.

That's his action.

Hangargekar too has a weird action, but no one can call him unathletic.

 

Bumrah, isnt unathletic. He runs well, can bowl overs after overs and usually is a safe fielder. Even his running between the wickets is quick.

 

Likes of Washy, Ashwin, Sehwag, Ramesh Powar...they are unathletic. They were slow in the field, slow in running between the wickets. Shami is slow in running between the wickets and on the ground, though he has a pretty agile action in comparison to Bumrah.

Not at the level of Steyn, Starc, Cummins, Shamar Joseph. Washy, Ashwin, DUbe are all unathletic. Bumrah's running speed 18 km/h  Starc's runnig speed 26 km/h. 18 km/h is decent. But not top tier. 

 

Bumrah's speed is also less also run up is less. For comparison

 

Bumrah 7 to 11 yards

Brett Lee around 23 yards

Sohaib Akhtar 40 yards

 

Heck even Shivam Dube has 30 yards but a measured pace.

 

His run up speed is  less as he has a stuttered run up. Basically all his magic happens in the last stride. That is genius of Bumrah. There are a lot of athletic bowlers who have not doen well. So it is not everything. Umesh is probably the most athletic we have had. Apart from home conditions he didn't do much.

Those are true athletes man, sprinter level fitness, even Rabada as well.

In India, we can only give a chance to Kapil Dev, Javagal Srinath & Umesh Yadav. No one else comes close.
