Jasprit Bumrah vs Mohammad Amir [ODI format]

So far in this WC

Bumrah - 5 Mat - 9 wks - 21.77 avg - 4.45 eco
Amir - 6 Mat - 16 wks - 17.77 AVG - 5.10 eco
 
Amir despite having taken wickets seems to have aged prematurely. His effort ball is 139 kph. Usually this was expected at the age of 35 to happen. I think the lack of pace has taken off the extra venom he possesed. Bumrah having taken less wickets still has been more penetrating and effective than Amir. In fact I would confess that even Shami has more pace and venom than Amir at present.
My question is why Amir lost his pace so early in his career?
 
Bumrah showing his class, that's why he is the best bowler in the world in last few years.
 
He’s done okay but not enough.

Starc has ruled this World Cup. Bumrah needs to stop playing Bobby and Leh others play the Bhaijaan’s role

Tall fast left handers have X factor always in the world cup as you don't play many lefties compared to righties. Look at Beherendoff, Amir. As a right hander it is harder to be successful
 
Bang bang 💥💥two wickets and match over..

Insane bowling in all matches. Consistently best in all matches till now.

Raining Yorkers!!
 
The difference is that even though both are strike bowlers, Bumrah delivers consistently while Amir only when conditions are conducive for his bowling. Taileneder's shouldn't count for either
 
Till 3 months back, Amir was not even in the First 15 players of a mid-ranked team. While Bumrah has been consistently the main strike bowler for 1/2 ranked team and world #1 for many years.

Comparing on the basis of a few matches in England where pitches are conducive to Amir is misleading. But even here Bumrah is ahead and will move further ahead as the tournament progresses.

Right handedness did not stop Glenny, Shaminor Jamie Lannister from becoming great.

Excuses bro

Bhaijaan
 
Amir can only perform in cloudy English conditions while Bumrah performs on any pitch, any surface against any opposition.

Everyone saw how mercilessly India slaughtered Amir during Asia Cup '18 in the slow, dry UAE pitches.

I refuse to acknowledge such one trick pony bowlers.

Amir is the bowler's version of a Flat Track Bully.

Both Amir and James Anderson are the same in that regards.
 
Amir is a good bowler, just Bumrah is in a league above. It's like comparing Babar with Kohli.
 
After 8 matches (7 innings), they both have taken 17 wickets.


Amir - 21.05 (ave); SR - 25.7

Bumrah - 19.29 (ave); SR -25.8


Bumrah wins this one!

No shame losing to Bumrah. He's the best in the world and extremely consistent. But cannot dismiss Amir this WC. He's bowled superbly. Hope to see continue good form. Missed out and was outshined by Afridi in the last 2 games. This is along term rivalry. Dev Khan type. Amir will keep his form hopefully. On song he is one of the best for sure
 
Amir is the bigger talent but Bumrah is probably the bigger player given he’s at the top in all formats and is very economical too.

what a load of crap. jasprit is the better talent. he has it all. He is more skillful, economical, consistent and more importantly he is world class in all types of pitches.

starc is a one dimensional fodder too. he is only good in helping conditions. he is useless on flat pattas.

The greats turn up in the biggest tournaments. Amir so far has 13 wickets with an average of 13.07 and will likely finish with over 20 wickets. What is Bumrah's stats this world cup?

Bumrah has same no.of wickets at a better average and economy :wa
 
Imagine if they played for the same team... Swing on one side and deadly accurate yorkers on the other.
 
The difference is you don't see Amir anywhere in the game baring when he's bowling. He just seems so disconnected with the team and indifferent about whether his team is winning to losing. Bumrah on the other hand is 100% team man. It's only natural justice that he will end up with 20+ wickets.
 
Amir could not justify his place in team before world cup. He needs helpful conditions.
 
How many of you heard Simon Doull saying that Amir has gone Chaminda Vas way though his pace is slightly more than that of Vas? He is more of a economy type of bowler. He has lost his pace by nearly 10-15 kph. His effort ball where he moans is 138 kph. He no more has the impact he used to have. For me he is going the Irfan Pathan way. He has taken wickets but lacks agression.

Well good for him that he performed and took wickets and that matters the most. He needs to show consistency now otherwise his career honestly speaking won't go far and he's not that old also.
 
Amir - 59 Mat, 77 wks, 30.25 avg, 4.8 eco
Bumrah - 57 Mat, 102 wks, 21.72 avg, 4.5 eco

Rankings: Amir- 27, Bumrah -1 :bumrah
 
Bumrah is a once in a generation type bowler.

The greatest Indian bowler to ever grace the sport.

No comparison.
 
Amir was WC in this tournament, no need to demean his performances here.

Bumrah is WC day-in day-out and if he maintains this for another 4 years, he will be in ATG category.
 
Atm, Bumrah is better but one has to remember that Amir is still not yet at his best while Bumrah currently is. Peak Amir > Peak Bumrah.
 
Amir turns up for tournaments and Bumrah doesn't.

This because he doesn't need to turn up a thing that is already up and working well.

I think Amir does his country a disservice by not putting his best effort all the time. If he is able enough to produce these results, then it is most selfish to not do it whenever one can.

A better way of putting it would have bento say that Amir picks up a couple of gears for world tournaments. He normally bowls at 3rd gear, but picks it up to 5th for tourneys. Bumrah on the other hand doesn’t. Because, as expected from a professional, he is always on 5th gear.
 
Bumrah is comfortably better than any other pace bowler in the world in both LOI formats.

Bumrah hasn't gotten that many wickets because the batsmen play it safe against him and go after the rest of the bowlers and end up giving them their wickets. Case in point the match vs England, he was almost impossible to score off so the batsmen had to go after Shami.
 
Bumrah is consistently quicker than Amir.

Amir pre ban used to bowl 88-90 mph regularly.

Unless Amir finds a way to add some pace, Bumrah shall be the winner day in day out.
 
No comparison at all. Bumrah is way ahead.

Things could have been different if Aamir was not banned, but he can only blame himself.

Bumrah has such a strange action that it helps him deceiving the batsmen, they struggle to pick the length early and he is very accurate.

Starc? Boult?

Boult is slightly overrated because of his few spells where he is on top.

He’s considered among the best because when he can’t take wickets, he keeps it tight.

Starc before this WC was wayward and can be rather expensive if he does not stick to his strength (bowling full and fast).
 
Bumrah won - Amir actually did well to take the wickets he did and his performance was good enough. Bumrah took a lot of wickets in the end though.
 
Both bowlers have not conceded over 5 runs per over in 58 ODI's, must be some record
