Hello all,

This is the solution that has to be implemented vs India and it won’t matter if they score 200 or 300 in t20s, any total will be chaseable.

Stop showing Bumrah respect, if anything, disrespect him.

However if you let stats, man of the match awards, and spreadsheets get to you then he will get your wicket.

Someone Fakhar showed that this is possible. Fakhar did psychological badtameezi toward him and that made Bumrah panic and bowl a no ball. And then the rest was history. How do you do this? Throw him off his game and attack by coming out of the crease.

Who will be the batsman to put Bumrah in his place?

Not saying this to insult Bumrah, I respect him for making it this far regardless of any dubious techniques. Saying this as a neutral fan with no skin in the game.
 
Agree 100 percent, Indian team relies on him in absence of Siraj. So just kill the parrot and the behemoth will die. As the soul of behemoth lies in the parrot.
 
Fakhar has been a non issue after that CT Final game in 2017. It was a pure lucky day for him.

Regarding OP, agree that more initiative must be shown against Bumrah. Just play him out cannot be the strategy. 4 overs are a lot in T20 cricket. If England not decided to see of Bumrah today at 18th over, they would have won the game.
 
If I had to pick an Indian XI to save my life, Bumrah would be the first name on the team sheet, followed by Pandya and Dube. They are the absolute clutchest core of our team and always contribute some way or the other.
 
Everyone doesn't praise Hardik enough, that guy is there if you need him with the bat or with a ball or in the field.

For me he is a trump, even when the main bowlers are getting hit left and right, the boy comes and takes wickets with that weird running and bowling like kohli.

Offcourse Bumrah is our national treasure.

:kp

Fakhar faced Bumrah several times post that match and struggled to put bat on ball every single time.

We used to read fantasy stories like that in Bengali called 'Thakurmar Jhuli (Grandma's Bedtime Stories), kind of like the penny dreadful novels minus the violence.

Rakshas ki jaan hamesha chidiya me hi qaid hoti thi, the hero would kill the parrot and the rajkumari will rise from her magical slumber.
You suddenly made me nostalgic my man. :dw

It was a huge blunder from Curran and England to tap Bumrah's last over for singles. They needed to go big in that overs. Wickets didn't matter then.

They didn't took chance because psychologically Curran accepted he can't hit him. That's where teams need to look at Farhan and Karun and see how they dismantle the Bumrah.

Hitting with field restrictions in powerplay and hitting at the death is different. Maybe they could have managed 10 runs instead of just 6
 
It was a flat wicket he bowled well but they gave him too much respect hitting out getting caught was better than leaving yourself almost 40 of last 2 overs....

Tbh you need to show him eyes and use some words. Need an aggressive batsman to get into his head, someone in the mold of Kohli, Ponting, Ahmed Shehzad but such characters don’t exist anymore.

Bumrah missed his mark twice in that over. Bowled a full toss as well. If they had a positive mindset they could've gotten much more than just 6. Maybe they would've lost a wicket but runs mattered more at that stage.

Even in Bumrah's 2nd over in the middle overs with 5 fielders on the boundary, Bethel managed to score freely against him because at that stage he was looking for runs.

Couple of full tosses Curran couldnt put it away in his last rover.

England need more from the openers to go hard at Bumrah.

Bumrah has so many variations. Most of the time mind is preoccupied with what you are going to get
 
Lol as if this is easy. Bhumrah is the Floyd Mayweather Jr of fast bowling especially limited overs fast bowling. He can literally bowl 6 different deliveries or try 6 different tactics in the over. His bowling iq is unmatched.

Chucking always helps I guess. :qdkcheeky

Sick and tired of these excuses i.e. India cheats, India had an unfair advantage, conditions favoured India. So what? You can allow Mohd Hasnain to chuck and he will still get hit for 6 sixes in an over. Pakistan had everything in their favour in Sri Lanka and still ended up embarrassing themselves under pressure when it came to team selection, tactics, reading the pitches, decisions during the match. Even with so many advantages, you still need to have the quality to take advantage of the advantages which sadly Pakistan does not have.

But then why did Sahibzada Farhan manage to bend him so many times yaar?

Also, good example, Floyd was a serial cherry picker who manipulated the field of play to his advantage. On top of that, he was scummy little weasel outside the ring.

Dude.. a switched on Bumrah is a whole different beast lol He had just recovered from injury came in. He gave away runs even in IPL. But against pakistan he didn't have to be at his best in Asia cup lol Dube was enough. Didn't you see your no look batasman couldn't even look where the ball was coming from

Excuses as usual after he got a royal spanking, the point here was (before the little incher got triggered) was he isn’t invincible, Curran & Bethell gave him too much respect and didn’t even look to attack him in the last over, Farhan had more success because he was stable / deep in the crease and was happy to oblige him with his heavy bottom hand, the intent needs to be there. Just 1 boundary in that over would have been enough.

Well Pandya made Farhan look like easy work in the T-20 WC game. Heck he didn't even celebrate his wicket. The Indian backroom staff obviously did their homework on Farhan and saw that he had a problem with short pitched deliveries. It took Pandya 2-3 deliveries to solve the problem. Do you honestly think Bhumrah will allow Farhan to do that to him again?

The point of bringing Floyd was that Bhumrah has the same level of confidence where he knows he has the skill, talent, bowling iq to get the batsman out just like Floyd was the master of making boxing adjustments in the ring based on what the opponent was doing.
 
Bhumrah may not end up with higher wickets than Wasim, Waqar but the man will leave a better legacy i.e. Two T-20 WC wins and Bhumrah in his mid 30's is operating at a higher level than what Wasim, Waqar did at the same ages.

Let your Farhan stand infront of Bumrah in this cauldron of atmosphere lol He couldn't even handle Pandya's bouncer. Many people have hit Bumrah for sixes. Even no name players lol Only guys who made a drama out of this Farhan and fans like you. You think Starc has not been gone for runs? ROhit took him for 29 runs in one over 2024 world cup. We won't insult him still. lol Dinesh karthik has way better record against Bumrah. He is not going to insult either. You guys are stuck in this "1 ball moment" "1 over moment" forever. Can any one of you remotely hit 3 sixes in a row against varun C? lol I guess not.

Range hitting level of 2020s is on another galaxy level. In this era bowling is very very hard. Look what Shanaka did to Shaheen lol He almost failed to defend 25 runs or so
 
Sa and now eng did same mistake. You just can't leave so.many runs to chase in next over. You respect the yorkers he bowls but he will surely miss one or two but if you have preplanned a single then u ll miss out on that juicy legside full toss too.
And in this age and day you have to do something scoop it, ramp it, come down, go deep in the crease but you just cant score 6 runs when 15rpo is needed. 10 runs in that over would have given eng a much realistic target for final two overs.

Secondly, chasing this big target you have to make sure that you murder the bowler you get your hands on. Bethel hit varun for 3 sixes and should have kept going but he took single on 4th bowl. And it ended up taking buttlers wicket. When you are chasing 220 plus targets you dont need 18 20 runs overs you need to 2 overs as big as they come and that ll smooth things out. Eng should have forced india to use dube early on but the failed to do so when they only scored run a ball in varuns 3rd over.
This was pretty flat wicket after new ball and eng just ended up not having that final kill instinct. They actually lost by 20 30 runs because technically game was done in the penultimate over by hardik after that it was just routine.
 
One criticism i have on all teams vs Bhumrah. The guy has been around for 10 years now. They have seen all his weapons, the angles he uses, the tactics he deploys, they know he uses the slower ball bouncer, the slow dipping yorker. Teams now have so much video data but they still struggle against his tools and tactics which only testifies to Bhumrah's genius.
 
When you swing for the hills some days it will come off. That is what happened to England. They had nothing to lose with not many wicekts in the tank. They tried their hard lol England tried the exact same thing chasing 245 in 2025 last year. India didn't even have Bumrah. India bowled England all out for 97 runs. These kind of batting don't always come off while chasing. Varun C bowling has regressed. That is where England had a sniff. But for him they were nowhere in the game.

For me the turning point was Jack's dismissal. You have to give full credit to India for their fielding. Axar's amazing athleticism on the boundary and how quickly he flung the ball to Dube being so close to the boundary in a high pressure game, vital moment of the game. Surya did the same thing in the T-20 WC Final with that catch of Miller. These things are the difference between winning and losing. Pakistan takes fielding so casually, our fielders are so unfit, cannot anticipate and they allow easy singles in the ring, you cannot rely on any Pakistani fielder to pull a catch like that off under pressure.
 
Even when Bumrah is older and trundling around 130k, batsmen still wont be able to pick him. His variations and extensive hyperextension is too OP especially in T20.

Yes, and in contrast that dolly drop by Brooks plus cheeky laugh afterwards.
 
India will miss hardik as much or even more than bumrah.
Bumrah alone wont be able to win 2024 wc.
Hardik always always give india wickets and runs whenever they need. And add to that his indefinite calm and aura.

Against us, hardik has been a bigger threat than bumrah tbh

Even a team like Australia knows they have to respect Bhumrah and find the right balance between defence and attack. Travis Head in the WC final adopted that approach, he rode his luck against Bhumrah, Shami, only put away the really bad deliveries and once India took both of them off, he further attached Siraj, Kuldeep and Jadeja.
 
At first glance he’s just an Indian.

But when you look deeper he is a dangerous and deceptive bowler and so you have to think outside the box to beat him.

There were rumors he is an industry plant with his action and all and I think that some think that may have been true given the pull of BCCI.

But it doesn’t matter, I think I have discovered the missing link to defeat him once and for all.

And get out to Pandya, Dube, Varun, Kuldeep . Bracewell, lol 31/9 then another collapse at colombo. Teams like SA, England, NZ are on another level. You focus on figuring out these lower level bowlers first.
 
Get a disciplined baseball pitcher with whip action top arm throw.

Make him throw from right at the popping crease line at the nets against your teams' batsmen with 3-4 variations with speeds ranging from 110-160km/hr.

The Batsmen will eventually figure it out.
 
Can we all acknowledge now that Bumrah is the GOAT ?

He averages under 20 in test cricket and is impossible to score off in white ball cricket .. so much so that the OP Suleiman is imploring opposition teams to just close their eyes, say a quick Hail Mary, run down the pitch and swing as hard as you can. I can't think of a bigger compliment for a bowler.

Nobody said the same about Mcgrath or Marshall.

Salman Ali Agha is a reflection of the country of Pakistan. A total misfit in the T-20 format but he is being imposed on the T-20 team as captain by the PCB under the pre-text for providing continuity and stability to the team. Its very similar to the Form 47 govt imposed on the country.

No disrespect to OP but taking down the biggest weapon not adversary is how you win but doing that is not easy.

If missiles get us carriers ...China will win. If India got head out .India would have won..if PAF could have bested IAF..Kashmir would be with Pakistan...that 19 year old Aussie did it one innings and got shown his place in next matches . Yes he might have a off day and you can take him down or lose 3 wickets . We can say England lost because of 18 th over or England could have lost bethell to bumrah and lost even badly

Any great bowler including Bumrah will get rattled when someone goes after them, and pulls it off. Whether it's McGrath losing his mind when Razzaq went after him or Bumrah getting irritated with Konstas during BGT after getting scooped a few times in the previous test.

However the following is fake narrative.

Zaman was very ordinary in Bumrah's first over. In fact, I will admit I felt a little bored at the time, thinking this was going to be a walk-over match for India (who knew what was to come :dhoni )


Then the no-ball happened next over.

Then Fakhar entered Mad Max mode.

You are right. Fakhar and Sahib Zada Farhan have both shown glimpses of overcoming the Bumrah Conundrum however they haven’t been able to sustain it.

But with the Suleiman Solution in the OP we now have a way to neutralize Bumrah psychologically and technically.

The question is which batsman will have the heart and inner tranquility and peace to carry out the Final Solution listed above?

Ofc as time passes, this solution will be refined. Right now we are at Mark I like Tony Stark’s first iron man suit of the solution.
 
Just listen to Jarrod why it is hard to hit sudden low full tosses from Bumrah. It is the number of bals he bowls before will not allow you to be ready against any delivery. He has to miss it massively to take advantage. When Bumrah doesn't miss there is very little you can do. Oflate he has been missing a lot. But come the crunch moment he didn't.

Oflate or Omelette every player is a human being and has a weakness. He is world class and he has come out stronger in crunch situations because of mountains of experience in those moments that someone like Jacob didn’t have.

It is only a matter of time before the Final Solution is implemented against him as Young Bucks gain more experience.

what excuses, Bumrah delivers when called upon, that is what a bowler does.

India has reached finals after finals after finals with him in it.

Bumrah was out of form the last 12 months or so and just started to get his accuracy back.

Farhan was able to do it because h2 found Bumrah on his out of form patch, you call it excuse coz your sample size and miopic view is only India Pak matches.

Learn to appreciate genius, like we do with Wasim Akram.

lol, as if its as easy as you made it sound.

If Bumrah is virtually unhittable in all forms of the game even after playing a decade of international cricket, means he is something very very special.
 
Bumrah bowled a fantastic last over of his spell. Then Pandya also... No doubt that bumrah is their ace card. Taking him on will put others under pressure but if you are pakistan team, then Even Dube is like mcgrath.

It's not easy to hit low full tosses from Bumrah with his deceptive action. If it's slow then you are a toast.

Match was lost when India got 250+ score batting first and India had to deal with more pressure, expectations
 
The century Steve Smith 140 runs scored of Bhumrah in the 4th test in Australia in Melbourne in 2024 is extremely under rated. The pitch was assisting swing, seam but Smith stuck it out, battled, toiled and patiently scored a century. Bhumrah got 31 wickets in this series.

Pandya did well to execute his plan against Farhan unlike most teams this WC and he was fortunate to catch him out quiet early but you mentioned Bumrah, and I had to emphasise that he has given that particular bowler a royal spanking numerous times so lets not put it down to some kind of fluke now, sure it’s T20 cricket and it’s possible Bumrah can get a lucky wicket against Farhan in the future but that doesn’t prove the point you are trying to make that Bumrah is invincible, England made a huge mistake in the penultimate over of his and should have tried to take at least 10-12 runs which was very possible if they attempted that.

Floyd was even better at making adjustments before the bell rang and twisted the rules in his favour.

Blah blah . you sound like there is a robot playing you. These are pressure situations.. Under pressure with trembling legs when you are not sure whether the yorker will be at 146k or 120k you will be circumpsect. Also when Bumrah strikes he can pick another wicket next ball. This is not book cricket lol

Floyd was even better at making adjustments before the bell rang and twisted the rules in his favour.

Under pressure he has done over and over and over lol You think he was bowling to tullas? Harry Brook, Bethell, Miller, Klassen these are pedigree players.

I didn’t say he didn’t, but calling him completely unplayable is a bit of a cop out, if Indian batters were up against him what do you think they should do? Settle for 6 singles?

what excuses, Bumrah delivers when called upon, that is what a bowler does.

India has reached finals after finals after finals with him in it.

Bumrah was out of form the last 12 months or so and just started to get his accuracy back.

Farhan was able to do it because h2 found Bumrah on his out of form patch, you call it excuse coz your sample size and miopic view is only India Pak matches.

Learn to appreciate genius, like we do with Wasim Akram.

I get that I said earlier in this thread regardless of the controversy around his action, it still takes skill for him to nail his lengths so consistently. However, he isn’t invincible & batters should be a bit more brave against him in these situations, England miscalculated to play him out, if it meant to losing their wickets so be it, but you have to try because that over decided the match and he should have been the MOM in a high scoring game like that where everyone else went for 10 an over.

It was a huge blunder from Curran and England to tap Bumrah's last over for singles. They needed to go big in that overs. Wickets didn't matter then.

They didn't took chance because psychologically Curran accepted he can't hit him. That's where teams need to look at Farhan and Karun and see how they dismantle the Bumrah.

Bumrah shouldn't be bowled in the first 4 overs, which is the mistake india did against Pakistan in Asia cup. All his biggest overs were when he bowled in first 4 overs. They have fixed that now.

And being hit in random bilateral is different than trying to hit him in the freaking world cup, where he isn't holding back

There is zero controversy around his actions. The only people talking about his action are jealous pakistanis and Bangladeshi fans online and they are not important enough to cause controversies. The fact that you LIED about this makes the rest of your post useless and ignorable.

Not one cricket pundit, former cricketer or current cricketer has questioned his action unlike former chuckers banned for their action who were called out by dozens and dozens of cricket pundits, former cricketers and cricketers of their time for their action.​
 
Hitting Bumrah in first few overs is easier because teams have wickets left and they can risk it. However in tight game with top order gone is different ball game. Risk factor increases many folds. It creates similar pressure to what Wasim Waqar did in 90's.
