Could Jasprit Bumrah make it into Pakistan's all-time XI, assuming he were a Pakistani cricketer?

[Rajdeep]

Personally, I believe Bumrah is the greatest fast bowler of all time from Asia. However, I want to check with esteem posters in this site, whether he gets into all time Pak team as per their own assessment.

Jasprit Bumrah in 45 test matches got 205 wickets at a staggering avg of 19. This is better than most Pakistani bowlers and I think on merit he deserves a place in the team. Below will be my all time Pak XI:

Hanif Mohammed

Saeed Anwar

Javed Miandad

Younis Khan

Mohammed Yusuf

Misbah ul Haq

Imran Khan

Wasim Akram

Saqlain Mushtaq

Fazal Mehmood

Jasprit Bumrah

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah is First name in the any test playing eleven .

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Jasprit Bumrah is good no doubt but where are Mohammad Asif, Waqar Younis and Rawalpindi Express here?

[IMMY69]

He would definitely get in to the line-up, and then get called immediately.
All our resident Indian friends know this to be the truth.

Bumrah is joint second greatest fast bowler of all time along with Malcom Marshal and only second to Sydney Barnes. It is hilarious you compare him with Asif, Waqar and Akhtar.

 

[Buffet]

Next some one will ask if IK or SRT will make into the combined XI, lol.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Yes he probably would

 

[wrongun]

He probably edges out Waqar or Fazal Mahmood. Might just be recency bias though. Waqar played long enough past his peak that the younger of us remember older Waqar a bit more than younger wrecking ball Waqar. Bumrah hasn't yet played long enough to know if that will happen to him also.

Probably fairer to assess when he has 300 test wickets or has played nearer a decade.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Wasim, Waqar, Imran and Bumrah

 

[RidiculousMan]

In my opinion he's the greatest Cricketer ever to play the game.

His record is insane. Dare I say even Bradman is nothing in front of him.

Not even in distance to Mcgrath

 

[Buffet]

Anything can happen, but chances are very slim for having 1 5-fers in 40-50 tests. I don't recall anyone playing so many tests with 1 5-fer.

Waqar during his decline:

That looks unbelievable for a bowler like Waqar. A great decline indeed

 

[Kianig89]

What next can Bumrah break into WI side of late 70s & 80s

Greenidge
Haynes
Viv
Kalicharran
Lloyd
Sobers
Dujon
Roberts
Holding
Bumrah
Garner

Selected Bumrah ahead of Marshall he deserves it

Some fans argue that his stellar record pre-injury compensates for 1 5-fers in 40-50 tests.

I don't think it does. Against all non-minnows, Waqar had an elite record against WI/NZ in total 10-15 tests. I am picking less than 20 avg for elite output pre-injury to compensate for a very ordinary output after injury.

How much mileage a bowler can get for an elite record in 10-15 tests against non-minnows in entire career? I don't think it compensates for a very ordinary record in 40-50 tests.

 

[RexRex]

Bumrah would be first pick, then Imran .. Akram and Akhtar.

India finally gets their first decent pace bowler ever, and he also happens to be the potential GOAT. Love it. Remember when pakistanis used to mock Kumble as india's best pace bowler ?

 

[Cricket Warrior]

he can easily hit the All time Asian XI the way he is proceedin.

 

[Ted123]

Yes, he would. Why is Misbah included in Op list and not picked any keeper?

Anwar
Hanif
Younis
Miandad
Inzamam
Yousuf
Rizwan(wkt)
Imran(c)
Wasim
Saqlain
Bumrah

Greatest Asian test team of all time in my opinion.

 

[Ted123]

Let’s do it.

Gavaskar
Sehwag
Dravid
Tendulkar
Miandad
Sangakkara(wkt)
Kapil
Imran(c)
Wasim
Bumrah
Murali

 

[BouncerGuy]

Yes sure, why not... Bumrah would make it easily. Bumrah, Wasim, Imran. Top bowling lineup...

Imran at 7
Kapil at 8
Wasim at 9
Bumrah at 10
Waqar/shami at 11

Who will beat this team? From non Asia

Remember Asian pacers don't get to stat pad in seaming tracks like sena pitches. So reduce averages of Asian pacers by 3 points easily.

Legendary line up. pure carnage all of these guys are for any opposition... Dream Bowling line up from Asia.

 

[Bhaijaan]

I find this thread disrespectful to Bumrah and coming from a Bharatiya it’s a disgrace. Bumrah is a legit GOAT contender as a test fast bowler which means he’s beyond such discussions already. You wouldn’t make a thread about whether Tendulkar will make an All Time Sri Lanka test XI because who even cares when he’s already GOAT batsman.
