The minimum requirements for a batsman to become a "bunny" of a bowler?

[MenInG]

Mohammad Hafeez v Mohammad Shahid ( both innings)

Does that qualify as a bunny making performance?

 

[Mamoon]

MoHa is swing bowling bunny, little do with the bowler.

 

[Hawkeye]

Swing, seam. Doesn't matter.

Can't play any movement.

 

[Pete Rose]

As I said last week about that double century: good for hazeez and very very bad for Pakistan

 

[MenInG]

Not sure why we are so focussed on Hafeez (maybe the OP!) but surely other batsmen around the world fall to same bowler many times?

 

[Laal]

3 innings for me.

 

[Itachi]

bowler's nationality must be that of pakistani.

 

[Statsman]

Jimmy Anderson - Sachin Tendulkar comes to mind.

SRT had no problems facing most bowlers of the world, and Jimmy who isn't any where near a McGrath/Donald/Ambrose/Akram had SRT in a lot of problems and IIRC took his wicket the maximum number of times in tests.

Sometimes there isn't a need of a criteria (no. of matches, runs made etc.), when there is a bunny, you see it!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Jimmy Anderson - kohli, sachin

Hafeez - Tamim

Any bowler - Imrul Kayes

 

[angrypathan]

McGrath - Atherton
Siddle - KP (only for the last Ashes series tbh)

 

[brute]

Ishant Sharma-Ricky Ponting )

 

[BigBoy123]

Junaid - Kohli
Junaid - Sanga
Hafeez - Gayle

 

[Pete Rose]

Warne Cullinan

 

[Amjid Javed]

Criteria has to be atleast 6-8 Inns played by batsmen against that bowler, with the bowler gaining 60-70% dimissals of that batsmen in that time.

The minimum requirements for a batsman to become a "bunny" of a bowler?

Batsman was NEVER able to score a 100 against that bowler?

 

[Mamoon]

Junaid - Kohli
Junaid - Sanga
Hafeez - Gayle

Just hope Kohli doesn't face Junaid again, it will get ugly. 130 kph half-tracker with no movement is mincemeat for him.

 

[Mamoon]

I am pretty confident this has something to do with Misbah, but not sure how.

 

[Belawal2014]

Yeah, the amount of people that are milking that 2012 ODI performance vs India

On topic though, Hafeez vs Steyn epitomizes "bunny" of a bowler.

 

[Acricketfan]

Ishant Sharma vs Faulkner.

Ashwin vs Maxwell.

Reverse bunny.

 

[Kiri]

Sanga - Ajmal

 

[Anis]

Steyn vs trott
Steyn vs clarke

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Steyn vs trott
Steyn vs clarke

Steyn vs Hafeez??

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Zaheer Khan Smith
Atherton McGrath

 

[Slog]

Steyn-Hafeez

Steyn laughed at his face

 

[asyed]

For me the biggest is

Hafeez-Steyn and worst was when was laughing at his face

 

[Pete Rose]

Mohammad Hafeez vs. a top 5 teAm opening bowler

 

[sshakir411]

hafeez is the perfect example of a bunny

 

[FlickedOffHips]

10 dismissals for me.

 

[hefaith]

Irfan vs Amla

 

[IndianWillow]

All you require is a fan who likes bowler A and dislikes batsman B, and a bit of A's dominance over B.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Afridi - Irfan Pathan?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amla and Irfan

Hafeez and Gayle

Hafeez and Devon Smith

Morkel and Strauss

Steyn Hafeez

Junaid n Kallis

Junaid n Kohli

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Amla and Irfan

Hafeez and Gayle

Hafeez and Devon Smith

Morkel and Strauss

Steyn Hafeez

Junaid n Kallis

Junaid n Kohli

You forgot sohail khan n kohli

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Gayle n bhuvi is close though

 

[jeetu]

Warne - Daryll Cullinan , is the most famous one i guess.

 

[Hamza_]

Mohammad Asif and KP?

 

[Neferpitou]

Sanga - Ajmal

Sanga is Wahab's bunny.

 

[Neferpitou]

Hafeez - every swing bowler.

 

[Pete Rose]

For a very little while it was Devilliers vs. Asif.
What a waste....

 

[Professor]

I am pretty confident this has something to do with Misbah, but not sure how.

Maybe he is implying that Misbah is every bowlers bunny in ODIs since he never scored an ODI 100 against any bowler?

 

[Mamoon]

Perhaps.

 

[Pete Rose]

Warne vs. inzi.
Fannie devilliers/Donal vs. Saeed Anwar
Lara vs McGrath
And the anomaly: razzaq vs tendulkar.

Classic Junaid v Kohli case.

 

[Adil_94]

Kohli vs Jimmy

 

[Bullet Drive]

Classic Junaid v Kohli case.

That time Kohli was unstoppable. Best ODI bat. For a bowler to dismiss him three times in a row for a low score in his home conditions was something special.

In my view, you don't become a bunny in one series. If Junaid continues to torment Kohli, you can say that he is his bunny.

Steyn has troubled Hafeez on numerous instances, Anderson owned Tendulkar for years etc., those are real bunnies. Let's see how Kohli fares against Junaid in UAE later this year, but if Junaid bowls like he is bowling these days, the bunny tag will lose relevance soon.

 

[BigBoy123]

Afridi vs ABD
Irfan vs Hash
Sir jimmy vs Virat

Do u agree Virat is Anderson's bunny?

 

[Mamoon]

Do u agree Virat is Anderson's bunny?

Not really, it was one tour. We will see how he goes against him in the future and in India as well, that would decide if he's another Tendulkar for Anderson.

 

[Abdullah719]

Warner vs Broad...
