History remembers Malcolm Marshall as the greatest test bowler and he hasn’t taken 400 wkts, so your argument doesn’t make sense.
Ye should get 250 at 22 average. After 35 he can just play 4 tests per year till he is 37 max.
He already has more wickets vs the teams that matter (Aus, SA and Eng) than any Pakistani pacer in history.
Ok include NZ , Bumrah still avg far less than any of the great Pak pacers.
Because Nz were borderline minnows for most of their history
Do you even understand what I said, for most of their history Nz were an extremely poor team.
It's very hard to break all time stats due to the excessive presence of T20is . 4 match series are getting reduced to 3 and 2 with 5 match T20i series becoming more prevalent. I doubt amy present or future cricketers would be able to break the records of past cricketers in tests
Would say for Bumrah if is easier to get wickets away than at home considering the pitches
We are watching a genius and I have seen entire career of many ATG bowlers. Bumrah surely belongs in class of Marshall, Wasim, Steyn etc... it should be obvious to anyone who has watched test cricket seriously.
I can get feeling poetic about Akram and Steyn, but AMbrose? He was basically an android send to choke the life out of batsmen, the opposite of poetic.
No offence, but this post reeks of prejudice.
Why is the metric for ATG no of wickets and no of runs scored?
If India manage him well, he will end up with 250-300 Test wickets. No need to play him in T20Is and ODIs other than the WC, CT and possibly Asia Cup. He can skip all the other white ball cricket. This will give him time to concentrate on Tests. IPL is a big issue but again we cannot expect him to miss that. If it was up to me, I would pay him money to skip it as well.
I desperately want to see him end with at least 350 Test wickets. Hard, but certainly not impossible.
He already has more number of test wickets vs the top 3 - Eng, SA and Aus than any other Pak pace bowler - in history !!! If that is not legendary, I dont know what is.
That is not true at all. For subcontinent players to do well in SENA, it is not given. When I look at other bowlers from Asia in these countries like Shaheen, 11 Tests for 33 wickets at 38.54 with 0 fifers. Having one 5 wicket haul means nothing. since 2016 (year of Bumrah's debut), no bowler has that sort of success in SENA. Aamer Jamal is the only one coming close but he has only played 3 Tests. The best Pakistan bowler in that period to have at least played 10 Tests is Aamir with an average of 33. Best SL bowler is Lakmal with an average of 33. No BD bowler has played 10 Tests in these countries and only one bowler has played 6 Tests and he averages 48. So your logic of getting wickets and averaging less is easier in SENA doesn't make any sense. If that was the case every bowler bowling in those countries should average at least under 30 which is not the case.
Across all 3 formats? Yes, he would.
Are you even aware that Bumrah averages 16 in tests he has played in India? Cricket dekha
He averages 16 in India but he needs to perform in Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Can u show the articles about him getting banned. Don't u think Aussies ,Eng will leave him alone if he was banned earlier leaving generous pak fans aside
It’s ok he has been having issues since Bumrah won us the WC
here is interview ..he was banned twice by indian umpires ..later bcci hleped him to get back
That guy said bumrah was almost got banned due to his hyper extension by a confused local umpire who don't know about it for the first time in first class (which is quite fair for a local umpire standard). As per his captain parthiv patel explanation of akthars example, umpire was satisfied. There are multiple videos with xray scans of each and every bone of his bowling action as presented by sky and fox videos. Aussies must have happily thrown him out for losing 2 series down under.
Almost like he's played far less tests than them. Ever heard of things known as average and strike rate
I will add kd in place of kumble.kd can be threat anywhere kumble was not impactful in sena as much as in india
So? Break down many of the atgs and they all padded their record vs weak teams too
No apparently broad and Anderson are greater than steyn marshall and mcgrath cause they have more wickets lel
Will have mayank in the future as well.
His odi record could improve a bit. He could get it down to 22 I reckon but odi is awful format for all bowlers. Cummins rabada all average over 27
Did Shane bond help his team win multiple tests in Eng, Aus and Sa like Bumrah has
Will have Zaheer or Srinath ahead of Shami in the XI. Srinath missed quite a few tests in his prime due to BCCI being adamant for Kapil to go past Hadlee.
Btw wasim played about 35 tests in sena
Unfortunately, I started following the game in the fag end of Kapil's career. Was a big hero for all of us kids back then.
Make no mistake, Kapil is still a hero for what he did for Indian cricket. But that was poor to go for Hadlee's record
Bumrah is a better bowler than wasim. Wasim Said so himself and he isn't disingenuous.
Kd?
Kapil Dev
He obviously means Kuldeep but it's difficult to even consider him as one of the greats unless he achieves a lot more. Recency bias I would guess
Sry kuldeep for sena conditions as kumble never impacted much except last tours in aus ,eng .
I agree. Long way to go. If he performs in Australia, away in England then yea maybe. We will see.
Kumble needs good supporting cast in sena where he can't be the enforcer unlike Kuldeep. As its Atg eleven ,we should have enforcers everywhere or players as per conditions.
Quality over quantity, any time.
Jimmy Anderson not in the list!
