Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25: Jasprit Bumrah vs Scott Boland

He didn't bowl too drastically more compared to other bowlers.
As a premium strike bowler you shoudln't be bowling more. He stopped bowling when Aus was like 2 or 3 down in first inning itself. He would have bowled way more than 8 overs in addition if not injured.

If you can sustain pressure by 3-4 good bowlers as a pack, bastmen can't simply wait to see you off. They are forced to take risk against every bowler. Effectiveness of bowler with the same skills is likely to be higher if other bowlers are not realaseing all pressure created by just one bowler. It's not a new concept in cricket.

You genuinly think that if Bumrah was bowling alongside Aus attack, it won't make life more difficult for batsmen compared to him bowling with current Indian attack? You can't rely on seeing off any bowler then.
 
Nah not really, Shoib has set a precedent for hyper extension, no need to waste time ey....
The only precedent that's been set is the corruption and manipulation of the sport by the indian board over the ICC.

So you admit that bumah , ashwin are chuckers but they are covered up.

Shoaib was cleared therefore didnt chuck.

Comprehension seems to be your kryptonite.

Your right don't waste my time. :akhtar
 
One was called and cleared.

There other ones have the blind eye turned.

Big difference ayy.

Yes one was called and cleared thereby clearing the air around hyper-extension and made people understand that's it's legal.

Ofcourse by "people" I mean the sensible ones, who have minimum required number of functioning brain cells to be called "people". And also the ones that aren't blinded by bitter envy and small dog syndrome.
 
Stats :
Bumrah took 32 wickets at 13.06 and Boland took 21 at 13.19.

So the stats are quite similar.
Who do you think was the best between this two? Who had more impact on games.

For me,
Both were brilliant, nothing can be said about this. But Boland having won all the three matches he has played in was more decisive.
The batting line up were quite similar (not that good on both sides). Bumrah had the better of Khawaja and Labu while Boland didn't let Kohli breath.

Bumrah was exceptionnal in the first test, especially the first innings. He won the match in it.
But I also think he went missing on many important occasions in other matches where India could have taken the game away.
On the other hand, I think Boland was better, never went missing, always strike at the right time.
I even think had Boland played all five matches, the result could have been 5-0, he was that good.
Lol if bumrah bowled to indian batsmen he would average sub 10.

Boland bowled to really poor batsmen.

Boland is better than cummins though.

I admit Shoib and Bumrah has hyper extension.

Your buddy Ponty also confirms that Bumrah's action is fine.

Who told you that if one player is cleared its carte blanche for everyone else.

By that logic after Murali was called no player should of been called after as he would of "cleared the air" on hyperextension.

Your boy is chucking at a 35 degree angle when the limit is 15 degrees.

The indian board knows it , bumah knows it as well as the hapless ICC.

Now Shooo go cry on the corner there ain't nothing you or your fellow Pakistanis can do to stop Bumrah, so sit there and dwell in your jealousy
:bumrah

Ask yourself with that obvious hyperextension why isn't he called to get it checked out.???

Answer umpires fear the consequences on missing out on ipl contracts and loosing their jobs.

There will come a time when enough is enough and then it all comes crashing down.

You make a valid point.

But my counter to that would be to look at Warne in India. One of the greatest (if not greatest) spinners averaged 43 in Indian conditions.

It's not easy to roll into someone's home and dominate the way Bumrah did.

Murali avgd similar.

So what you say is correct.
 
The difference was Shoaib was tested and cleared. :genius

The likes of bumrah , ahswin, harbajan in the past etc are /were protected by indian money and influence over the ICC.

The indian board are afraid for them to be tested.

Harbhajan was protected and still had to under go testing twice by the ICC?
 
I’m absolutely delighted to see the way Scot Boland has performed as a cricket fan especially considering he’s a native Australian. It’s a great story really and I hope it inspires more such successful transitions for aboriginals in the mainstream.

As for the comparison like you showed it’s quite neck to neck and k will give it to Bumrah by a whisker. Why? Because I think it’s harder to perform at that level when the weight of the expectations is already there, considering this is 3rd test tour of Australia and one would imagine the Aussie batters would have figured him out finally but it seems they were still not at ease against him, and that is really the hallmark of a great bowler. When you can deliver despite being a known demon, and all the opponent planning.

Good luck to Scot Boland going forward, he can serve Aussies for many years. Doesn’t look exciting but does the job like Hazzlewood, Stuart Clarke type reliable pacers they have had over the years.
