What's new

Irrespective of the batters on strike, who is the one bowler from this list that will defend 10 runs in the final over for you?

1 over to go, 10 runs to defend, who will be your choice to bowl that over?

Malinga was the one who could do so. Don't think any of them can achieve that feat except prime version of Boult. Bumrah was good before but no chance he could do so against top quality batsman.
 
Indian bowlers tend to chock in such situations by bowling a no ball.

I would prefer Starc or Boult
 
Shaheen Shah is awful in the death overs. Dont understand how he is even in this list. Better option wud be Haris Rauf

On a different note its Lasith Malinga. Starc & Boult dont really deliver in the death overs. Bumrah has done it few times in IPL but want to see him do it in big event
 
Trent Boult, due to his pace and proficiency in delivering yorkers with various variations.
 
I have considerably more faith in Naseem than I ever will in Shaheen.. regardless of situation, conditions etc.
 
Shaheen when he is 100% fit and firing. Right now he is a wounded warrior fighting for his country, yet his countrymen clown on him at every opportunity they get.

Needs to let the knee heal. Give the captaincy to whoever and take a few months off. But he keeps trying to be macho and “tough it out”
 
Bumrah and nobody else from this list.

Shaheen is a swing bowler and any damage that he does is at the beginning of the innings and with the new ball. He’s practically skill-less and hence useless with the old ball.

Starc and Boult too rely on swing. Starc doesn’t have a slower ball variation in his arsenal and hence becomes somewhat predictable. Boult is better than Starc but with no swing on offer, he too goes for runs.

There’s a reason why Bumrah is called a death bowling specialist. He has a mean yorker, he has a well disguised slower ball, he has a short of length rising ball, and he moves the ball both ways. Given his versatility he has too many options available to him compared with the others on this list.
 
No one can do this job better than Bumrah.

I think 10 runs are far too much for him, he can easily defend 6 runs on his day.

After Bumrah i will pick Zaman Khan
 
I will go with Bumrah or Starc for sure. From Pakistan, I will take Zaman khan instead of shaheen.
 
Bumrah has good death skills but I wouldn't touch him with a 10 ft pole in these situations.

He will inevitably bottle it.
 
This is a bad comparison. Bumrah is the odd one out here because he is the only quality death bowler in this list.

If it was about new ball bowling then it would have been a tighter contest.
 
Bumrah or Starc.

Starc because he is Australian and Australians tend to do well when stakes are highest.

Bumrah because he is the best death over bowler by far.
