[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Jasprit Bumrah is the best fast-bowler in the world right now

Hasn't really done much so far in this WC tbh. But no doubt currently is the best bowler but I think he'll fade away like Hassan Ali.

Starc has 15-16 wickets already.

Bumrah hasn’t got 5 yet.

India hunts in a pack, they dont necessarily rely on individual bowlers to see them through. People like Starc, Aamir, Rabada are lone hunters- take them out from the team & the bowling unit collapses completely.

Both of them made their debut in 2016. While Hassan Ali shone initially, Bumrah has been improving ever since. Dont think he is going to fade away easily!

His action means that he's very injury prone, which imo may be one of the reasons why he may fade away. But let's see.
 
Consistent performer but ugly run up and action, I would put his success down to his discipline and street smartness as a bowler, rather then exceptional talent.
 
Indian bowlers bowl in pair like jassi - Bhuvi & Kuldeep- chahal so one don't get bundle of wickits bcz they share with each other .
 
Wahab has more wickets than him I believe, not looked like the no. 1 bowler. Couldn't get a wicket against Pakistan who were basically handing out free wickets :p

Yeah maybe if he was playing for Pakistan, West Indies or Sri Lanka.

But BCCI knows exactly how to handle their premier players. You have no idea how many people manage Bumrah - doctors, dietitians, multiple trainers, the works. You have to realise that BCCI is as professional a sports body today as any in the world. They employ highly qualified professionals and they use state of the art (sports) science and technology.

Plus BCCI is also very generous with giving Bumrah and Kohli ample breaks.

So I don't think Bumrah is under any risk.
 
He might be the worlds best bowler but his action is rubbish more of a military medium action :sree
 
Phenomenal death overs bowler this guy.

I still think he is lagging way behind in taking wickets.
 
How does Bumrah win man of the match vs Shami who took a hatrick, and ended up with 4 wickets, vs Bumrah's 2?

Whoever chose it clearly wants to help Bumrah because as of yesterday he wasnt even in the top 10 leading wicket takers in the world cup.

Good death bowler but not a strike bowler like Starc, Cummings, Amir, Boult and Archer.

He set it up with his match winning 49th over

And before that when he got two set batsmen out in 3 balls

Getting a MoM takes you higher in the wicket takers table ? Amir is not a strike bowler , yeah he’s good in England and when there is swing , he’s more in BKs category but even BK is more effective on flat pitches

Because he came in and broke a partnership in the middle overs that was threatening to take the game away by taking two wickets in an over, then came back in the death and gave away 5 in the penultimate over to leave 16 runs for Shami to defend in the last over.

Amir the strike bowler? When was the last time he picked up a couple of wickets in his first spell? :))

So getting MoM increases wicket tally?

Oh and Amir is nowhere near Bumrah in terms of bowling. Bumrah is some distance ahead.

Check Amir's wicket tally to Bumrahs in this world cup. If Bumrah is so good he would be leading wicket taker but please tell me which number he is on the list?

Is the number of wickets in the World Cup the only basis to see whether one is a strike bowler or not?

How about Test average?

ICC ODI Rank 1 bowler needs limelight? You lower the average IQ of whole forum.

Amir's 5 wickets don't win Pak match. Useless soft wickets by a weakling.

Bumrah's 2 wickets turn the tide if the match.
Got it?

So wicket tally is whag matters and let me guess Runs is what matters for tournament?

Can we agree this is the yardstick for measurement of a player in WCs or like always you are going to change when situation changes?

Correct, instead wins MOM vs Minnows, and for 2 wickets only.

Hatrick is surely worthy of an accolade, Shami being the 2nd Indian in WC history to do so!

Bumrah's team has bowlers like Kuldeep Chahal and Shami who regularly take wickets.

Amir's team has Riaz and Hasan Ali and Shadab khan, he is perhaps the only wicket taker in the team.

Btw look up the ODI rankings ,Bumrah is on the top, where is Amir?

Oh btw, Bumrah is arguably the best limited overs bowler in the limelight, he doesnot need limelight.

The 2 wickets came at the right time and he bowled 7 yorkers in the penultimate overs which made it easy for Shami. Though I believe Shami should have got MOM for the nerves of steel in the final over and the rate hatrick.

If Amir was good, he would have taken the wickets against India with the new ball. He is good with old ball and did well to restrict India from scoring 360 plus but he was too late.
 
Some really sour posts about Bumrah from the usual suspects. But their opinion does not matter. He is easily the best fast bowler produced by India and currently the best fast bowler in the world across formats.

World Cup is the biggest tournament and where the best stand up.

Amir is way ahead of Bumrah and others bowlers are too in the world cup. Twist it how you like but any sane person would say Amir has bowled much better than Bumrah which is why he has 13 wickets in 36 overs.

Bumrah can still over take him, lets wait and see.

12 wickets lol 1 was gifted by kohli. Amir picked wickets only after the game was almost gone. Both Australia and India put on a huge partnership before even Amir came in to the picture.
 
Good to know now wc is big and other matches dnt matter as such lol the hypocrisy
 
Burma’s is world no 1 ranked for a reason. Same way Amir is way below many bowlers in the rankings for a reason. Few end over wickets Won’t change.
 
So,amir takes some wicket after two years of huffing and puffing and now suddenly he is better than bumrah.
These same posters were abusing him some time ago

Amir likes English conditions may be. Even in his favorite conditions he took wickets only when he attacked him like Dhoni wide edge, kohli’s non wicket. Malinga won the game for his side. So did Bumrah both defending a poor total.

They need it to sleep at night. Let them believe it otherwise they will go into depression. Let's be bigger hearted as always and let them believe one small thing which brings happiness in their lives ;)
 
Some really bitter posts around here, but given where I am it shouldn't come as a surprise. We all need our dose of daily laughter. :)

Bumrah has surprised me with how much he's improved in last 2 years, I thought he'd become a specialist LOI bowler but he's proven me wrong.


Also, Bumrah has been outperformed by many of his peers in this WC so far but that doesn't mean he's not the #1 bowler in the world anymore. Unless there are some on here (I hope not) who think Aaron Finch and Shakib are better ODI batsman than Kohli?
 
Bumrah took only two wickets, Bumrah took only the wickets of Afghanistan, Bumrah's action is unwieldy.... so he is not the number 1 bowler in the world. So my Pakistani bowler who takes wickets when the match is already gone is number one. Lovely arguments being advanced here. Suit yourself. Your jealousy is not affecting Bumrah's peformance even one bit. He is bowling yorkers and wicket taking balls when they are needed the most. The officials who picked him for Man of the match against Afghanistan may know less that the armchair fans here, but those match officials do not care for such opinions advanced here.:vk2

Amir got 3 wickets against India after India had already made 285 runs.

He got 5 wickets against Australia, 4 of which came after they had already made 277.

He also got 2 wickets against England both of which came after England had already scored 288.

He got 3 against Windies which came in a no pressure match because everybody knew that there's no way Pakistan is defending 105.

So that's 12 out of his 13 wickets.

Amir has been the master of cheap, useless wickets in this WC.

His impact on this WC has been next to nothing. The only significant wicket Amir has taken in this whole WC was of Jos Buttler. That's it. Other than that he has done nothing.

How many pakistani bowlers have topped the WC wicket takers tally? I am talking about a single edition here.

Wasim may have done it. And Afridi.

IK and Waqar havent done it i guess.

While Roger Binny Zaheer Khan and Kumble have done it for India. According to your theory Roger Binny and Zak are better than IK and Waqar?

Since WC is the biggest tournament, whats the stat of Pakistan vs India?

How's that related even remotely to Bumrah??

Stop clutching at straws.

Its related to their teams.

So can you tell me whats the head to head between Ind and Pak at the World cup? The biggest tournament, where a slightly better performance makes a 27th ranked bowler with worse career stats better than the 1st ranked bowler with better career stats?
 
Best bowlers are those who are good in all three formats. Consistency is the key. It is surprising to see people discussing Amir here. :smith
 
Was on a hattrick today. Bowled a slower Yorker as a hattrick ball which I thought was brilliant.
 
Bumrah has done ok this tournament but just fallen behind the pack of bowlers like amir, archer and starc. Once again, he seems to be just behind the curve in a tournament.

i dont think hes fallen behind as much as having to share wickets with the other 3 bowlers in the team. india is the only team with 4 good bowlers.

He bowled better than the likes of Cummins, Rabada, Boult

Amir was considered even worse than Hasnain, Wahab and Shaheen just 4 weeks back and was not even supposed to be in pakistan team.

Bumrah, Starc has been performing for the last many years.

There’s no comparison between Bumrah and Amir. Amir will probably be out of Pak team in 3 months. He has somehow put a good spell together in this world cup till now. Surely a big match bowler but not consistent.
 
I think best bowlers in this wc till today are stark and at some extent aamir(tho many of his wickets didnt help team win)

But but we dont need bumrah to be best as long as bowling unit as whole performs better than rest and wins india matches like how they won us in last 2 low scoring matches
 
Both Kohli and Bumrah have had steady if unspectacular tournaments - but both have put in MoM performances. Bodes well for India that they are winning despite this.
 
not sure if he is the best but top three for sure. He needs to get more wickets with the new ball and maybe sustain this performance for another 18 months.

If you read my post, you would see that I mentioned those names in regards to this tournament. This tournament is the ICC Cricket World Cup, currently being played in England where Amir is second on the list of wicket takers and has the best average of the top 3. Archer is third.

Yes, he has bowled better than Rabada but not better than Boult. However, as the undisputed number one bowlers, in the minds of many on here, and the saviour of fast bowling, not being the number one wicket taker or best average should be a disappointment.

Like I said, personally I think he has bowled well, he just needs to push on.
 
Yes he is the best in the business for being so consistent over the last two years
 
Bumrah last 4 overs

1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1,
1, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0
1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1
0, 1, 1 (b), W, 0, 1
