Who are the 5 best Test pacers right now?

[hk031992]

Mine:

Pat Cummins
Jasprit Bumrah
Ollie Robinson
Anrich Nortje
Kyle Jamieson

I know some people will disagree with Jamieson but he was a huge part of NZ winning the world test championship. He bowled with the experience of a veteran of 60 tests instead of a few. I know he is injured but as soon as he comes back, i expect him to come back 100%.

Mine:

Pat Cummins
Jasprit Bumrah
Ollie Robinson
Anrich Nortje
Kyle Jamieson

I agree with this.

Shami reverse swing is also good on Indian Condition

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jansen is making rapid strides.

In 2022, Rabada picked 47 wickets in 9 matches at 22 and was the leading wicket taker of the year.

Nortje picked 15 wickets in 5 matches at 27 in 2022. Talking about tests here.

Also, Anderson ahead of Jamieson. Anderson averaged 19 in 2022 with bowl.

 

[Ab Fan]

Top 5 for 2022 would be among

Rabada 22
Anderson 19
Robinson 18
Bumrah 20
Cummins 21
Jansen 18

Jamieson averages 28 and Nortje 27 and lesser sample too.

 

[giri26]

Pat Cummins
Robinson
Bumrah
Nortje
Anderson

Jamieson, Rabada, Janson, Shami, Shaheen finish the top 10.

Be interesting to see how the Boland lad goes in the Ashes. He might be another Terry Alderman, in which case woe to England…..

Nah...Alderman was a swing machine. The length which Boland bowls will only bring him success on hard Aussie pitches.
