The Jasprit Bumrah workload myth: Is opting out of the 2nd Test against England justified?

[straighttalk]

So when stats fail..they are arguing just because he is rested he ain't a good bowler..lmao such a logic..just say he didn't get that many wickets or was injury prone.. how is that related to his impact and this is the first time he is rested.

I will respond with what I wrote in the other thread as it's more suited here

Managing fast bowlers is how you ensure you have an good bench of bowlers and that your bowlers have a long career.

Australia and South Africa has been doing this for long. India have not which is why we lose a lot of promising bowlers to injury

This is not the 90s with less cricket played where bowlers can keep bowling unless you are smooth action like Anderson.

Its weird most of the criticism is coming from a country where not a single fast bowler has managed to take 200 wickets for many decades.

The fact that India has managed bumrah with all his injuries to be near 250 test wickets and still counting means they are doing something right.

We don't want bumrah to end up like Afridi or Naseem or any of the Pak fast bowlers who come with a bang and then in a year or 2 start trundling ineffectively because they were mis managed and don't have great careers.

Instead of learning how to manage fast bowlers from India, Pak fans are taking the wrong lessons and attacking

Maybe the country which has a 19 averaging bowler nearing 250 wickets despite an injury prone action, and which has won many overseas matches recently through bowling is doing it right and you, which does not have a single test fast bowlers take 200 wickets for many decades is doing it wrong?

Maybe?

I reckon England might have ended Bumrah’s Test career.

you need to reckon a lot less.

Bumrah just leave test cricket... His fitness issues make him less worthy to play this format... He is a good bowler but injury is not gonna help him here.
