Recipe to ace targets against India in T20s: Defeat Jasprit Bumrah psychologically and the rest of the attack will collapse

I don’t understand why Indians are crying about this. You don’t have to turn up in every thread and start having a panic attack. Chill out.

Because you sound like "it is so simple" . He has been playing IPL for 10 years, He has bowled to some of the guys in the nets. HE has been playing across the formats for 10 years. You think nobody would have thought about your "ingenious" ideas? lol

Ok well then you have nothing to worry about lol. You should be happy.
 
Indians should be grateful that I am even giving one of their players this much importance.

i am attesting to his talent and consider him a worthy adversary who lets the ball do the talking. However enough is enough and I’m done gatekeeping solutions for bowlers like him.

If I go after one of your guys’ players and say he is awful, you guys will cry.

If I consider one of them a big enough deal to counter attack against then you will also cry.

Well more tears to come, as this game breaking blueprint is now out in the open. Good luck.

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
Click to expand...
 
Easier said than done. Bumrah does not give you many hittable deliveries. The ramp shot (or scoop) over the wicket-keeper is a good option against Bumrah, but only if you are good at it.
 
I recollect one of my friend who cant bat , bowl or field used to say " I wasn't interested in cricket, if not I will be the world's best batsmen hitting evey ball a 6 any where".very simple in terms of planning.
 

Few scoop attempts went horribly wrong. I think Ruturaj is probably the only guy who nailed a sweep against yorker from Bumrah for six.

Bumrah has one weakness. Poor with new ball in swing friendly conditions.

Struggle vs Latham and mostly midget lefties. If he works on that then there is nothing else he needs to do

Peak absolute peak bumrah is better than any bowler ever barring Malcolm Marshall in all formats.
Current bumrah I would say is top 7 all time in tests and top 5 in LoI.
 
The only bowler - to have taken 200 test wickets at less than 20 average is Jasprit Bumrah - this is just to settle his greatness. From the beginning of test cricket to date no one has been able to achieve this.

In T20's - a game designed for batting exploits Bumrah's exploits are no less commendable.

Of course any bowler can be hit, Bumrah too - it is just that - under pressure in knockout games - where men get separated from boys - Bumrah is unparalleled. Also, it is not as if suddenly teams have decided not to attack him. It is precisely because they tried to attack him previously several times and lost wickets - is the reason why most teams have now settled down to just play his overs safely around. Bumrah is a perfect example of his well deserved reputation preceding him.

Having said all of the above - England really should have attempted to go after him. Sam Curran simply did not have the talent to do so.

1) 200 Test wickets is nothing. Not enough sample. If he takes 350-400 wickets, we can then compare.

2) Bumrah got to bowl at many T20 hacks/inferior batters. Bowlers from past eras didn't have that luxury.

3) Bumrah is a possible chucker. He should get tested first.

Bumrah is not among top 10 greatest bowlers. He is pretty overrated and overhyped just because he is an Indian. :inti

Fast bowling is an alien concept in Bangaldesh. You have to cut them some slack. They are struggling to find a 125k fast bowler. Personally they should work on fitness so that they can touch 127k, 128k something like that. Hope bowlers like Hasan Ali, Shinwari, Ali Raza give some coaching to bangladesh brothers.

I have a better strategy.

When Bumrah is bowling batsman should imagine Dinda instead of Bumrah and then they will hit him for sixes.
 
Bumrah is a real threat and other bowlers feed of that fear... Look at pandya and arshdeep. They compliment bumrah nicely
 
Bumrah is a myth.. It will get busted 3 years later when he plans to retire.
 
Bumrah has always been up to mark

His overs were the reason India won the match

To win you need to get your opponent's best batsmen out and hit their best bowlers. See how silly it sounds?

At least come up with something more witty next time dude, this same, lame, accusation of Indians crying, when they clearly are having fun, is getting a bit boring. You can have a bit of creativity even in your ad hominems and strawmans.

I’m gonna reply to you normally because you’re generally a good poster and I respect that.

It’s not funny tho, I’m not saying what you should do. It’s what you shouldn’t do. What’s wrong with providing alternatives?

I’m saying stop trying to just “play him out”. This is exactly what SA did in 24 England did in the semi final the other day - and they missed out on about 8 additional runs in his last two overs.

You cannot afford to face any bowler in a t20 game with the mentality of “playing them out”. That’s too many overs as a proportion of the innings. T20s are not Odis where 3-4 overs don’t make as much of a difference.

Not only that you are already telling the bowler that you have no intention of trying to hit him. That gives a bowler confidence to hit his default lengths. You cannot afford to do that to any bowler. If he gets you out, well that’s fine. Say well bowled and be on your way, but I’ve see. Bumrah wilt under pressure a few times. Don’t make life easy for him.

I think batters are more creeped out/distracted by his action than his actual bowling. :inti

Also, let's not forget his possible chucking. It always helps when you can chuck and get away thanks to BCCICC.
 
His skills with the ball is more to talk than his action .. the seam position the release , the angle, the grip and deception of the slower ball. The bouncer , left or right bat .. old new white red whatever ball whoever the bat whateva the condition .. whether reverse or no reverse … haven’t seen such a highly skilled accurate and intelligent bowler across format and knows which ball to bowl when …his stats are ridiculous that too in the era of batters as the say although I do feel batters have also evolved so much with their range of shots and is just not about the pitch and bat etc..with time and technology everything evolves wrt equipment etc but a bowler equipment is limited it is only the ball and all his body mechanics .. .. he may still have off days but as a batter you got to take some initiative as he will always bowl the most important or critical overs …

Bumrah is bowling to the batsman of his era because that what every bowler has done.

Bumrah is once a generation bowler, his greaness doesn’t depend on what Bangladeshis think

You realise how irrelevant your country is in cricket, thrown out of the world t20 in a matter of days.

Whether a bowler is chucker or not decided by tests which are done on the basis of umpire reports, has umpires reported bumrah?

Which country was recently removed from t20wc for throwing tantrums?
 
Pressure makes you pre-meditate more. You start to commit earlier, you load up for shots, you decide what you're going to do before the ball is bowled. Most bowlers can't punish that because they're also under pressure and just trying to hit their yorker length. Bumrah actually uses your pre-meditation against you. He reads what you're setting up for and bowls the exact opposite. Short ball batter? He'll go full. Expecting full? Here's one that sits up. And he does this while the game is on the line. You cannot look at any Bumrah delivery in isolation. That's not how he operates. That "hittable" ball two deliveries ago? That was setup. You just didn't know it yet.

Bumrah came from nowhere and just took away the crown of fast bowling from Pakistan while there wasn't any Indian even in the house before him. I can feel for a Pakistani here. It is deeply saddening to be a Millennial or GenZ from Pakistan and be a cricket fan.

Truth. It’s pretty unreal.

Remember for decades and at least for 1.5 decades on this forum itself Indian pacers were the butt of the joke, with their trademark being sub 130 kph trash with no accuracy, nothing. Someone like Zaheer Khan or Irfan Pathan was the pinnacle, but that’s it. Then Shami and Bhuvi made things slightly better around 2012-13 and then few years down the line with Bumrah, everything changed.

He’s not a big talker or the loudest most charismatic personality, but his results and the constriction he brings are McGrath esque at this point… am sure even Indians could never imagine something like that being said about one of their pacers.

Fast bowling attack was the last thing Pakistan held over India even deep into 2009-2010, maybe until 2013 if we stretch it to the max… but now- there’s nothing.

The whole concept of one nation being the batting factory and the other being the fast bowling factory, a concept that kept the rivalry alive for many years, is now completely destroyed.

However I will bring Bumrah down from the inside. The Final Solution will be his undoing.

South Africans tend to be big Indian bootlickers. :inti

South African players often ditch their country and play for other countries. They say anything and do anything if you give them some moolahs.

Bumrah is very overhyped and overrated just because he is an Indian. He should be tested because he has a suspicious action. He should not get a free pass. :inti

Add Imran and Hadlee too

Imran’s test record is better than Wasim’s. Better bowling average and SR and 3/6 ten-wicket hauls (Wasim has 5) were outside the subcontinent … and all of those tests won by Pakistan (Sydney 1974, Leeds 1987 and George Town, West Indies 1988).

Fast bowlers hunt in pairs and Imran did not have the luxury of having someone like Waqar as his bowling partner. That said Sarfraz was a pretty decent test bowler.

Bumrah’s bowling action may not be very aesthetic but he is mighty effective and a proven all format performer.

However, it will only be fair to compare Bumrah with those mentioned in the list once he has taken 350-400 test wickets

Steyn - choker? No. Bumrah is better
Rabada - lawl elite but a notch below bumrah
Ambrose - ok sure. Maybe on par or better I agree
Walsh - absolutely not better than bumrah
Holding - very good but not in the class of bumrah
Marshall - sure he is better than bumrah. This is one player no one can touch. Across formats bumrah though
Starc - hahahahah lol hahahah
Garner - nope. Bumrah better
Donald - again choker? Nope. Bumrah is a fair bit better

U missed hadlee and I have him on par with our neighbour’s bumrah

Don’t be salty now cmon.

I would only put 4 at best above him in tests and only 2 or 3 above him across all formats

Bumrah being better does not destroy the legacy of Pakistani fast bowling. IK, Wasim, Waqar, Akhtar etc have added a lot in rich history of cricket. Some one being better does not take it away. Every single team right now will kill for having some one like IK or Wasim. Hardly matters if one bowler is better. In fact as cricket fans, its always good to see some one better coming. It will be fantastic to see world cricket having better players than Marshall, SRT, McGrath, Viv, IK etc in future.
