Cracking 143 k yorker by Bumrah

 

Dips in sharply and so accurate too.

[rollingstoned]

Shami is fitter in his twilight years than what he was when younger which is a credit to him. Impressive the speeds he is able to sustain.

Bumrah 147

Bumrah 147 kph

[express bowling]

Brilliant use of speed variations by Bumrah on a dead pitch. 

 

Generally bowling 140 k to 145 k  ( fastest of 147 k )

 

Dropping down to 125 k without any change of action.

 

His 2nd wicket was off such a slower ball after an entire over was bowled at 140 k to 144 k

He bowled Nissanka off a slower ball yday. He took a wicket in England off a slower ball of Robinson where the game might have been a draw otherwise.

Bumrah is such an ideal mix of brains and brawns.

 

We are lucky to have such a bowler.

Bumrah is an extremely resourceful bowler and a quick learner too. If he stays sincere, a legendary career is guaranteed.

last person to do so (150+ runs and 5 wkts) was nearly 50 overs ago... I am sure one can guess who it was (hint: MM)

Mushtaq Mohammad?

correct. Mushy was mostly a batting AR, but he did pick up wkts against teams weak vs spin.

Just checked it. Some Ghazi did it in 2013. So last instance was not 50 years ago. Shakib too.

admittedly I was not clear, but I was referring to 150+ and 5 wkts in an innings. this happened in '73 with Mushtaq Mohammad. Shakib and Botham (famous Headingley test) came close.

Memeworthy stuff going on in the Pak-Aus test. Naseem Shah trying hard to sledge David Warner and Warner just shooing him off like a little child. Warner's test avg against Pak is 110 by the way.
