Its Bumrah, Im Australian and want to be biased but watching Bumrah bowling over the last few years is something else. Love the stats breakdown too! Alot of the stats seem to back the eye test
Well i don’t think anyone can argue Bumrah has probably the best peak of any bowler in history. Man i've never seen batters so concerned about one bowler. Having said that, Cummins is the one for me coz he's been performing consistently for a decade now and has played in flat surfaces more.
we saw in nz series how he peromed on flat track.its just his prime ,let him be the no one fast bowler in rankings for three years straight then we will see
@kgdfcr2347 Your fav performs occasionally, but boom fails occasionally. He's the MoS of overseas SA,Eng and Aus tour! I'm not talking about only 2024! You no $h*tt! Did you fab ever done it??? 🤣😂🤣😂
Currently it has to be Bumrah. That 200 wicket streak match factor was quite revealing, Jimmy Anderson up alongside Steyn, Marshall and Hadlee, would imagine this was somewhere around wickets 400-600. Late career Jimmy Anderson was right up there, even if his overall numbers tell a slightly different story.
No it's pat who does that bumrha performs when everyone else is performing but he performs so much better that you almost forget that others are doing something too
Jasprit Bumrah in International cricket: Test - 205 wickets (19.42 Average) ODI - 149 wickets (4.59 Economy) T20I - 89 wickets (6.27 Economy) Greatest All Format Bowler ever 🐐👑
Issue with Bumrah is availability. He has played 45 of 70 Tests since the beginning of 2018, that's 64% vs. Cummins who is 88% of tests between 2017 and now Bumrah's 2024 is undoubtedly one of the greatest since years in test history - but (imo) he needs 2-3 more years where he plays pretty much every test and gets 50+ wickets around 19-22 average
@@YoshiJoshi_bumrah also plays ipl every year nd he is the greatest T20 international bowler ever too ,tell Cummins to be half as good as bumrah in T20 then we can talk
@@swapnilmishra3537 Not sure the relevancy of T20 performance to "who is the best Test bowler". Plenty of all format players have had better availability than Bumrah over the last 5+ years
@@YoshiJoshi_ Availability will definitely be a factor when we judge these players at the end of their careers, but over the last 4 or so years, Bumrah has reached a peak in Tests (and the other two as well - the comment you replied to was claiming he's the best all-format bowler ever) that the other two haven't. The rolling 10 game match factor graph shows this fact as well. I agree with your estimate though: 2-3 years of consistent cricket @ around 21 will firmly put Bumrah as one of the very best ever.
@@YoshiJoshi_ not to mention his suspect action... they don't hesitate to mention sandpaper, so why not mention Bumrah's a chucker? Cheating is cheating, right?
I don't think Bumrah's body will be able to support his action for a long enough period of time to be considered the best ever. But the stuff he has been able to do in T20s, T20Is and Tests are so incredible. It is insane the level of threat he brings whenever he plays. I don't know if anyone has been this sure of being the best player on the field for so many consecutive games in the history of the game. Will be interesting to see if he makes it to CT and what he does there.
@ Bradman when retiring was only 253 runs behind Wally Hammond as the person with the 2nd most Test runs in history having played 60 innings less than him. His tally of 6996 runs would still be a great career in today's context, 76 years later. In the context of the greatest of all time, the longevity matters. Which can equate to the amount of runs and wickets you have taken. He is on pace to become the greatest ever. But to do so, he's pushing his body more than maybe anyone ever in the history of the game. His greatness is tied to the awkwardness of his action which in turn is tied to how long he can go without breaking himself. And this comes back to the point of availability. You'll be judged also with the silverware that you have or how your performances were in major tournaments. He has performed very well in ICC trophies but has also missed them in the past. So, if he continues to break his body repeatedly to produce all time performances, then he has to fill his cabinet with silverware or justify his lack of wickets if that is the case when he's done with performances in major tournaments and series. And at 31 years old with the action that he has, I just don't see him ending up as the best ever. Cause you also have to take in account the factor that he might play a few years later after coming back from injuries losing pace and his body not supporting him the way it is today when he's fit to play. So, his numbers might drop off. Which is why I said what I said. Peaks are very difficult to judge if you haven't experienced them yourself. Which is why we have very high recency bias. That's why I'm not yet gonna label him as the best ever until he has finished his career.
@tigersden13 "When retiring"? You were talking abt the greatest of all time, and how taking more wickets rather taking them at a faster rate matters more, right? So how is the fact that bradman scoring almost the most runs at that time matters in your logic? Afterall he only scored less than half of the runs scored by Sachin. If endurance is the thing that defines greatness of all timee, then surely sachin should be the greatest, no? When he retired i think the second most runs was almost 3000 runs behind him. You have a very flawed logic. Endurance does matter. I'm not saying you shouldn't take that into account. But that should not be the best metric. If then anderson should be the best bowler ever, and sachin should be best batter ever. But you and i both know that anybody in their right mind would take a prime steyn over prime anderson every single time.
@@Lathi33 Looks like you didn't understand me. I think I made it pretty clear. I didn't say taking more wickets matters more. I said he has to take relatively enough wickets compared to the guys who are considered GOATs at his average to be considered the best ever cause we all know his body isn't gonna support him enough to take 500 test wickets for example. He'll be incredibly lucky if he even gets close to 400. He sits at 205 now while someone like Cummins who is pretty much the same age as Jasprit sits at 294 (22.43 Average). Although he doesn't have the astronomical impact like Bumrah, he would've been considered the best of the current generation if an all timer like Bumrah didn't exist with him. To give you further context I'll list out some of the best fast bolwers' test wickets tally and averages. Joel Garner 259 at 20.97, Allan Donald 330 at 22.25, Dennis Lille 355 at 23.92, Imran Khan 362 at 22.81, Waqar Younis 373 at 23.56, Malcolm Marshall 376 at 20.94, Curtly Ambrose 405 at 20.99, Wasim Akram 414 at 23.62, Shaun Pollock 421 at 23.11, Richard Hadlee 431 at 22.29, Dale Steyn 439 at 22.95 and finally Glenn McGrath 563 at 21.64. I've only included test stats cause that was the format that mattered for most of these guys. Obviously, a big part of Bumrah's greatness is his ODIs, T20s and T20Is exploits. We haven't seen someone who has done so much at any stage of the game perhaps ever. But all those all time greats did not start playing in an era where the T20 game existed or dominated. This is why the conversation is so difficult. . Bumrah's injuries at any given point can absolutely end his greatness. If he loses something then his numbers may fall down massively. That's the problem. He's almost a 100 wickets behind Cummins at the moment in Tests but that doesn't matter cause we know who the better bowler is. But you can't be significantly behind all time great bowlers and still be considered the best. That's my point. Which I think he will be because what he does simply isn't sustainable for the human body for such long periods even with the sports science we have today. . I only brought up Bradman's number of runs when retiring cause the logic everybody uses is Sachin has much more than double his runs. But the 8 year gap in his career is so enormous that he would've been well past 10000 runs if played uninterrupted. I think he still would easily have been in the top 10 Test run scorers of all time almost 80 years after he has retired. . The metric for fast bowlers is obviously different. But Bumrah has to have enough wickets compared to the other all time greats or enough silverware in his cabinet to justify being called the best ever. That was my logic. Not whatever you have understood.
Bumrah's action might land him in Shane Bond situation, where he is clearly destined to be one of the greatest ever but he may not get there due to injuries, which would be super sad.
He is already there mate don't worry,even west indies great bowlers such as Joel garner has 260 test wickets and andy roberts has 202 with holding ,getting only 250 odd .
He pretty much never bowls with the new ball (he did a bit this series because Hoff was injured) and often takes the worse end. He does sometimes put himself on when a new batsman comes on though, so swings and roundabouts.
@@kiriakoz Absolutely, he does the dirty work. Always has, he bowled alot of death overs in their 2021 Wc win, same in ODI wc 2023, even in tests, never gets new ball, always is the partnership breaker.
@@scobpat6907Yeah. Lyon has averaged four wickets a Test over a 130 of them. And at a rpw average that has fallen to around 30 now. That represents good value; he does far more than just hold an end up relatively cheaply whilst the quicks rest between spells.
Technique and footwork has gone down for test batters after T20 took over in last 15yrs. Pitches r result oriented ,but Bumrah was born and brought up in slow pitches of India. Bumrah bowls a brilliant length with seam movt ,at good pace. A skillful and intelligent bowler.
bumrah outbowled anderson and rabada in england and southafrica because englands and southafricas batting was relatively poor and absoulutely rubbish as compared to india
@@shashanksharma2258 You say that but India didn't manage to win in either South Africa or England. India's batting isn't all that great either or else we would've won in all those places
It's Bumrah for me, no competition. The reason being him the most in dry spin friendly Indian wickets compared to the other two. It's the same reason why I rate Warne higher than Murali even though Murali has got 90 odd wickets more than Warne with better stats.
@@harryp1011Yeah - that was mainly from that tour where his shoulder was hanging on by a thread (before the operation). Also it was strange how India suddenly managed to produce the most batting friendly pitches ever seen in India - with none of the usual balls exploding through the top and turning square. It's almost like they knew the opposition had a bloke called Warne in the team. His first tour there with AB as captain was before he really established himself in the team.
How many matches has Bumrah played in India in tests? He's been playing overseas throughout his career. This England series was probably the only big series he played at home in his 6 years test career.
Agreed but I think the gap between him and the rest in T20 is greater than in tests as we saw in the ipl and T20 wc last year@@coloursoftherainbow8399
- Most wickets in IND vs ENG Test series in 2021-22. - Most wickets in IND vs SA Test series in 2024. - Most wickets in IND vs AUS Test series in 2024. Bumrah has out Bowled Anderson in ENG, Rabada in SA & Cummins in AUS. The Greatest Cricketer in Modern Era 🐐
Well I agree but it's also true that no one in England could bat outside of joe root. South africa probably had one of the worst batting lineups and they've started getting good since Bangladesh series. Whereas Rabada Anderson had to bowl to a world class Indian batting
Can we just say the best fast bowler currently playing? Because he's an average field (a bit slow around the park but a reliable catcher) and a very average batter. However, currently as a bowler he's the best with daylight second.
Bumrah is Greatest All format bowler cricket has ever witnessed, his consistency is second to none in all 3 formats+ IPL in all sorts of conditions in all pitches. Rabad, Cummins can compete with Bumrah in Test cricket but they are No where near to Bumrah in White ball cricket.
@@midfielderlounge2592 yep he definitely is but just saying Rabada has had 2 incredible years and is also 2 years younger so let's see if Rabada can hit an even better level atleast in test cricket. In the next WTC cycle Australia and England will be going to south africa and south africa will be traveling to the sub continent
@DANYALPARACHA Bumrah has better Economy than shami,henry & starc in odis. & they are nowhere to Bumrah in T20I'S & Test format. Bumrah is undoubtedly ah All Format GOAT
Looking Cummings vs Bumrah over the 5 tests, Bumrah waz easily the best bowler but also didnt help he bowled the most in alot spells for India, where cummings as a bowler and captain, could depend on Stark, Hazelwood and Boland get wickets. And in the end it showed, when Bumrah was needed in the 5th test, his body broke, when cummings was needed, he got essentially wickets too help win the game. Bumrah in the end was the best bowler but couldn't win the games in the end, where cummings did
@patrickmitchell9068 Bumrah couldn't win games bcoz of the failure of Indian batters, misfields, and no support for Bumrah in bowling Indian team management didn't pick proper playing 11 they thought they could cover the Batting failure of Kohli Rohit Gill by playing 3 All-rounders they neglected bowling
Cummins overall is the best test player right now with batting skills & captaincy duties , Also he doesn't get brand new ball most of the time. But he is not bowling to batters like Smith & head .. Cummins & Rabada performances in India are gonna decide who's the best 😏
Ponting says "The greatest display of fast bowling , he has seen on Aus soil in last 35yrs is by Bumrah"😮😮 Dont forget Ponting has seen both Ambrose and Wasim Akram. For Mark Waugh, every bowler in BBL looks like Bumrah. Bumrah has captured the minds of Aussie experts.
@dakshpatil8201 For Mark waugh ,it means Bumrah is like a ghost haunting him ,wherever he sees any bowler. What Warne did in 2005 Ashes , Bumrah did it in 2024 BGT. Both Warne and Bumrah lost the series ,but world cricket will remember the performance for 100 yrs.
@@Yah16786Ahmedsettle down, it won’t be remembered in 100 years. Bowlers have taken 40 wickets in a series. Mitch Johnston took 37 wickets at 13 in 2013. It was v good and he is a great bowler. Punter has seen as good or better displays of fast bowling. He’s a Commentator. Their job is to make statements that pump up what is happening in the here and now.
Having just watched the recent Border Gavaskar trophy it's certainly evident that Bumrah is an all time great. I'd be very interested to see though, what the proportion of bowling in the match factor and vs. others would be for specifically Cummins and Bumrah. My instinct is that Bumrah as a seamer at home on flat pitches may have a very reduced role with heavily front-weighted first innings success supporting multiple front-line spinners, but maybe Cummins would bowl a lot more at home on Aus flat pitches with Lyon as a single specialist with some part time support HOWEVER also not being significantly better than the rest of the pace attack? Thoughts or stats?
So much data! Awesome! After watching Bumrah this summer, he is amazing. So good to watch. I'd be interested to know how the bowling lineup changes figures. Cummins tends to share his wickets with Hazelwood, Stark, and sometimes Bowland, whereas Bumrah seems to do all the heavy lifting. I don't know much about Rababa's teammates. In the same way, Warne could have taken more wickets if it wasn't for McGrath, and vice versa.
When bumrah plays in India on the dusty rankturners, he has to compete with ashwin and jadeja for those 20 wickets and get them in comparatively shorter spells and he does that superbly well. So, I think Bumrah is a mile ahead of his contemporaries be it anywhere in the world. It was a shame that he got injured or he would have eaten the aussie batting line up in the last test.
I really want to say Rabada as a South African, but Bumrah can just swing a ball in unimaginable ways. Honestly the scariest bowler there currently is.
I think one thing to consider about Bumrah's match factor is that he's played a lot fewer games at home than away. It probably helps his overall average ( although he currently has a better home average than away) but in terms of match factor it probably goes against him as he gets to play less in the conditions he's developed in.
It's always difficult to do these comparisons because cricket is a team game and as good as any individual player is, the ultimate gauge of their success is the performances of the team they're playing for and if they aren't playing for a winning team, they aren't going to look better than their winning counterparts.
I feel like the spicier the wicket gets the less is the gap between great and average bowler,i know that's not the case with rabada but i feel like specifically for bumrah and little bit for Cummins is the pitches had been flatter there match factors would be much better, just like some batsman right now have ridiculous match factors because most batters are struggling so they are the only ones to work it out
@@fasios135there are others factors that come into play like he doesn't have to bowl as much. The wickets are always falling from other ends and that it's very hard to hit him
@@noone-zl2di I agree he's a great leader but I don't think he's a great tactical captain when it comes to field placings under pressure and declarations. Michael Clarke was the opposite - a great tactical captain but an average leader.
All three are goats. You can’t compare which one is better. They all have been matchwinners in their own ways. We’re lucky to watch them play. Especially Bumrah since it’s there’s not lot of time before he breaks down
Kimber has revolutionised and elevated cricket commentary and analysis. He is indispensable and essential. So many years dedicated to achieving his standard. I take my hat off to his work ethic.
What made mcgrath so great? When looking at him he doesn't swing the ball like akram. He doesn't seam like a steyn. He's not fast like akthar. Is it just the length? Or he moves the ball just perfect to get edges compared to so many others who moves miles?
You see that match impact, it's partially determined by the other seamers in the team. Someone who carries their team solo will score higher than a highlight in a quality team. India's next best fast bowlers by average are Mukesh Kumar (25.57), Shami (27.71), Thakur (28.38) and Krishna (29.62). Shami has been out for a year, and the others have played 17 games between them. South Africa's arsenal is well-stocked, with Burger (16.92), Jansen (21.76), Sipamla (22.27), Ngidi (23.14), Coetzee (23.57), Olivier (24.27), Mulder (25.96), Paterson (26.24), and Nortje (26.71). Cummins has support from Boland (17.66), Hazlewood (24.57) and Starc (27.78) in a very settled team. Outside the subcontinent, the standard bowling lineup is three fast bowlers and a spinner. India's attack without Bumrah is feeble compared to that of South Africa without Rabada or Australia without Cummins. We got to see an example of this in Australia's second innings to finish the Sydney test. 162 was chased down in 27 overs, with the wickets mostly thrown away for quick runs.
But other side of this is that partnerships matter in fast bowling too. When the other side know you are the only good bowler in the team, they will simply see you off and score when others are bowling. This reduces your wicket taking ability. When all bowlers are top class then you can't do that so you are forced to take more chances
Now this is a good analysis - also shows all this GOAT debate for any of the 3 is really premature, as you cannot just compare Avg and SR across eras for batting or bowling. When match factors are introduced you see for every metric.. McGrath, Imran , Steyn, Hadlee showing up again and again at the top of the pile and above all 3 compared.
@@mondotv4216 Warne shouldn't matter tbh as this is only comparing fast bowlers in the same match - team mates + opposition - also spinners (outside this drs era indian bunsen wickets) would only make faster men look better as they have worse avgs and strike rates.
@@mondotv4216 About fast bowlers on same side - i am actually unsure does that help or hinder - if you have many good bowlers in yourside its harder to be that much better than them relatively speaking. So even if Cummins is playing vs a weak fast bowling opposition the match factor will be hurt by the fact that boland hazelwood starc are pulling the avg down. However having great bowling support should help you fresh - batsmen cant just decide to just play one bowler out etc and therefore the life isnt squeezed out of you like it was done for Bumrah where the poor guy just broke down. I think this is why I am fascinated by other worldly performances by Hadlee in 83 i think vs Aus and Imran in 82/83 vs India - where they were not only ridiculous in terms of SR and Avg - they were also streets ahead of everyone in opposition and their own team.
@@ZA-ln8eg I think you can definitely see the match factor for Bumrah suffered when Shami was at his peak. I'm not sure about the effect of Warne - there were often less wickets to take compared to the opposition team's pace attack. You could argue that Warne also made McGrath more effective by being so accurate. So you can make an argument either way.
@@ZA-ln8eg Agreed on Hadlee. I think he modelled himself on Dennis Lillee later in his career when he could consistently bowl the ball on off stump and nip away towards the outside edge, except Hadlee was actually better at it if not quite as quick. That tour in 1985/6 his figures were actually better than Bumrah's this BGT. Their actions were remarkably similar. I'm not sure about Imran v India because we had no coverage of that so I'd only have the stats but what I did see of Imran he was also a great technician amd an inspirational leader like Cummins.
All 3 would have separate legacies (prediction) Cummins : All-time TEST great cricketer + All-time great captain, top 5 Bumrah: Best all-format bowler (3 formats) OAT + Top 5 OAT (can be 1) in tests + ODIs Rabada: Being 28 & 320 test poles, He is the longevity bowler of this gen, 600+ wickets but with better avg, SR than Anderson
Bowling alone - Bumrah When you put together all 3 aspects - Bowling, Batting and fielding, then 1. Cummins 2. Rabada 3. Bumrah. Cummins and Rabada are excellent fielders and score some crucial runs (especially Cummins) when the team really needs it.
Btw wasims first class average is the same as McGrath,and that's after having a much higher test average, meaning it was probably the fielders he played with
Can someone please explain match factor?! Jarrod, you’re the indisputable cricketing nerd of our times. We’re indebted to your service towards our beloved game. 🙏
Like all these stats there’s always varied circumstances. Because we always throw the new ball to Starc then Pat misses that opportunity. My take though is Bumrah at the top and the other two level pegging at this stage of their careers
Top notch analysis…no conformational bias…wish the commentators of the game come out of their archaic biases and become a bit more rigorous with all the data at helm.
I would like to see the control percentage of wasim and waqar,I know that's not possible but i think it might be as high if not higher than McGrath and other guys,so many catches were dropped off them
Bumrah after back from injury became unstoppable we are talking about tests but his performance in ODI wc and T20 wc were unmatchable hope he can play for 3-4 more years.❤️
Match factor is the player's average compared to all the other players in the match doing that job. It's a ratio. The average is 1, and a match factor of 1.5 means that the concerned player's average is 50% better than all the others who he has played in the match with.
@@PetrolSniffingDoofus Thanks for that, this stat is a new one for me. I’m guessing then that strike factor is the same but for strike rate? I suppose advanced metrics were destined to be applied to cricket at some point.
Every player has its strength and strong points. Every player has its own playing style. Comparison must be avoided. Numbers don't tell the whole story.
On bouncy wicket its 1) cummins 2) bumrah 3) rabada on swinging conditions its 1)rabada 2) bumrah 3)cummins on flat pitches 1)bumrah 2)rabada 3)cummins and in my assumption thus overall its 1) bumrah 2) rabada 3) cummins
Any of them can be the greatest on their day. But since we've opened up the door for comparisons being made via averages over the historical eras, today the batsmen take more risks obviously due to the T20 influence, so are the current bowlers made to look a bit better both via eyeline and figures? Couldn't imagine Sam Kostas ramping Curtly Ambrose or Courtney Walsh 20 years ago or Marshall/Croft/Holding/Roberts/Garner, Lillee or Thompson at their peak back in the late 70's. He would have been stretchered off.
Great video - do you think the short test matches/series Rabada plays vs Cummins & Bumrah negatively affects him in some of these metrics? In terms of getting a rhythm, working batters out over an extended period and just variance?
Is the match factor effected by Cummins being paired with Starc, Hazelwood and Bolland, three players who on their day can dominate a match whereas Rabata and Bumarah have had comparatively weaker support?
Basically The average of the other fast bowlers/Average of the particular bowler Eg MCG test Rest of fast bowler 19 wickets at 37.8 Bumrah 9 witckes at 17.3 Match factor=37.8/17.3=2.18 So bumrah's match factor for that test is 2.18
Had Bumrah played more matches on Australia or England pitches, he'd have gotten more wickets. Its like having Shane Warne playing more matches in Indian sub-continent.
Can you do a video on why so many batsman, like Virat Kohli, have struggled since 2018 but Joe Root has flourished? What has Root done that the likes of Smith and Kohli have not been able to do consistently?
Hands down Bumrah now…. But have to check on the longevity…. Rabada brings lot of surprises. I’m seeing someone bowling consistently a dangerous length at a good pace after Alan Donald. If Donald can be a white lightening he is poised to be a Black lightening.
Pat Cummins n Rabada plays mostly at home on pitches favouring fast bowlers where as Bhumrah plays more on turning pitches...so if Bhumrah had helpful pitches at home his strike rate and average will be much higher than Rabada. Cummins will always be no. 3.
can somebody explain me how was mcgrath so good?played with the likes of brett lee,shane warne and still has such high match factor???played during the flattest pitch era and still avg 21.6 bruh i m in awe
Keeping things simple is often the best a bowler can do. Just bowl in the right channel. You don't need express speed in test cricket. 135-140kph and right length and line is enough to get you wickets. And brett lee and warne used to get the pressure on the batsman which helped glen massively
That player's performance in that match vs the performance of the other bowlers in that match. So if you take 10 wickets for 50 runs your statistic seems amazing, but it everyone else took a collective 30 wickets for 150 runs your "match factor" is 1.
Hey Jarrod.. can it be that since the fab 4 were at their prime during the batting era, the bowling AVG were low and no new talents got that much exposure much like how the bowling greats were and there were no immediate replacement and it's just a sine curve with batting on +X axis and bowling at +y axis. And with that same trend once this crop of bowlers age and no replacement are available the new batting talent that grows in absence of fab4 will take batting avgs back up?? Just a random thought
Although I am a fan of Cummins, it has to be hands down Bumrah. I thought Bumrah was at his peak a couple of years back. Now he has crushed the peak and flying into the stratosphere. There is no way catching him now.
Match factor - how much better the player is compared to avg of other players in the match. Here bumrah being 1.34 means, he's 34 % better than par. I think that's the jist
Bumrah & Cummins are a class above and you'd have to say Boland is up there with them. Just needs a few more overseas tours to see if he can keep the same level up.

Well i don’t think anyone can argue Bumrah has probably the best peak of any bowler in history. Man i've never seen batters so concerned about one bowler. Having said that, Cummins is the one for me coz he's been performing consistently for a decade now and has played in flat surfaces more.

Currently it has to be Bumrah. That 200 wicket streak match factor was quite revealing, Jimmy Anderson up alongside Steyn, Marshall and Hadlee, would imagine this was somewhere around wickets 400-600. Late career Jimmy Anderson was right up there, even if his overall numbers tell a slightly different story.
It’s Bumrah. Legendary player. The difference is that Bumrah seems to show up when everyone else is flailing.
No it's pat who does that bumrha performs when everyone else is performing but he performs so much better that you almost forget that others are doing something too
so does cummins
Is it a bit early to anoint Bumrah? Probably perhaps a better convo a few years later ?

Greatest All Format Bowler ever 🐐👑
Issue with Bumrah is availability. He has played 45 of 70 Tests since the beginning of 2018, that's 64% vs. Cummins who is 88% of tests between 2017 and now
Bumrah's 2024 is undoubtedly one of the greatest since years in test history - but (imo) he needs 2-3 more years where he plays pretty much every test and gets 50+ wickets around 19-22 average

@@swapnilmishra3537 Not sure the relevancy of T20 performance to "who is the best Test bowler". Plenty of all format players have had better availability than Bumrah over the last 5+ years
@@YoshiJoshi_ Availability will definitely be a factor when we judge these players at the end of their careers, but over the last 4 or so years, Bumrah has reached a peak in Tests (and the other two as well - the comment you replied to was claiming he's the best all-format bowler ever) that the other two haven't. The rolling 10 game match factor graph shows this fact as well.
I agree with your estimate though: 2-3 years of consistent cricket @ around 21 will firmly put Bumrah as one of the very best ever.
@@YoshiJoshi_ not to mention his suspect action... they don't hesitate to mention sandpaper, so why not mention Bumrah's a chucker? Cheating is cheating, right?
I don't think Bumrah's body will be able to support his action for a long enough period of time to be considered the best ever. But the stuff he has been able to do in T20s, T20Is and Tests are so incredible. It is insane the level of threat he brings whenever he plays. I don't know if anyone has been this sure of being the best player on the field for so many consecutive games in the history of the game. Will be interesting to see if he makes it to CT and what he does there.
Bumrah should play games taking rests in between
Bradman is considered the best not bcos of the amt of runs he made or the matches he played.
@ Bradman when retiring was only 253 runs behind Wally Hammond as the person with the 2nd most Test runs in history having played 60 innings less than him. His tally of 6996 runs would still be a great career in today's context, 76 years later. In the context of the greatest of all time, the longevity matters. Which can equate to the amount of runs and wickets you have taken. He is on pace to become the greatest ever. But to do so, he's pushing his body more than maybe anyone ever in the history of the game. His greatness is tied to the awkwardness of his action which in turn is tied to how long he can go without breaking himself. And this comes back to the point of availability. You'll be judged also with the silverware that you have or how your performances were in major tournaments. He has performed very well in ICC trophies but has also missed them in the past. So, if he continues to break his body repeatedly to produce all time performances, then he has to fill his cabinet with silverware or justify his lack of wickets if that is the case when he's done with performances in major tournaments and series. And at 31 years old with the action that he has, I just don't see him ending up as the best ever. Cause you also have to take in account the factor that he might play a few years later after coming back from injuries losing pace and his body not supporting him the way it is today when he's fit to play. So, his numbers might drop off. Which is why I said what I said. Peaks are very difficult to judge if you haven't experienced them yourself. Which is why we have very high recency bias. That's why I'm not yet gonna label him as the best ever until he has finished his career.
@tigersden13
"When retiring"?
You were talking abt the greatest of all time, and how taking more wickets rather taking them at a faster rate matters more, right?
So how is the fact that bradman scoring almost the most runs at that time matters in your logic? Afterall he only scored less than half of the runs scored by Sachin.
If endurance is the thing that defines greatness of all timee, then surely sachin should be the greatest, no?
When he retired i think the second most runs was almost 3000 runs behind him.
You have a very flawed logic.
Endurance does matter. I'm not saying you shouldn't take that into account.
But that should not be the best metric.
If then anderson should be the best bowler ever, and sachin should be best batter ever.
But you and i both know that anybody in their right mind would take a prime steyn over prime anderson every single time.
@@Lathi33 Looks like you didn't understand me. I think I made it pretty clear. I didn't say taking more wickets matters more. I said he has to take relatively enough wickets compared to the guys who are considered GOATs at his average to be considered the best ever cause we all know his body isn't gonna support him enough to take 500 test wickets for example. He'll be incredibly lucky if he even gets close to 400. He sits at 205 now while someone like Cummins who is pretty much the same age as Jasprit sits at 294 (22.43 Average). Although he doesn't have the astronomical impact like Bumrah, he would've been considered the best of the current generation if an all timer like Bumrah didn't exist with him. To give you further context I'll list out some of the best fast bolwers' test wickets tally and averages. Joel Garner 259 at 20.97, Allan Donald 330 at 22.25, Dennis Lille 355 at 23.92, Imran Khan 362 at 22.81, Waqar Younis 373 at 23.56, Malcolm Marshall 376 at 20.94, Curtly Ambrose 405 at 20.99, Wasim Akram 414 at 23.62, Shaun Pollock 421 at 23.11, Richard Hadlee 431 at 22.29, Dale Steyn 439 at 22.95 and finally Glenn McGrath 563 at 21.64. I've only included test stats cause that was the format that mattered for most of these guys. Obviously, a big part of Bumrah's greatness is his ODIs, T20s and T20Is exploits. We haven't seen someone who has done so much at any stage of the game perhaps ever. But all those all time greats did not start playing in an era where the T20 game existed or dominated. This is why the conversation is so difficult.
.
Bumrah's injuries at any given point can absolutely end his greatness. If he loses something then his numbers may fall down massively. That's the problem. He's almost a 100 wickets behind Cummins at the moment in Tests but that doesn't matter cause we know who the better bowler is. But you can't be significantly behind all time great bowlers and still be considered the best. That's my point. Which I think he will be because what he does simply isn't sustainable for the human body for such long periods even with the sports science we have today.
.
I only brought up Bradman's number of runs when retiring cause the logic everybody uses is Sachin has much more than double his runs. But the 8 year gap in his career is so enormous that he would've been well past 10000 runs if played uninterrupted. I think he still would easily have been in the top 10 Test run scorers of all time almost 80 years after he has retired.
.
The metric for fast bowlers is obviously different. But Bumrah has to have enough wickets compared to the other all time greats or enough silverware in his cabinet to justify being called the best ever. That was my logic. Not whatever you have understood.
Bumrah's action might land him in Shane Bond situation, where he is clearly destined to be one of the greatest ever but he may not get there due to injuries, which would be super sad.
He is already there mate don't worry,even west indies great bowlers such as
Joel garner has 260 test wickets and andy roberts has 202 with holding ,getting only 250 odd .
He should try not throwing it then
@@spenserphoenixLike Shaun Tait
Worth mentioning that Cummins is a bit hurt by who he has played with in match factor. Hazlewood and Starc both also all time greats
I know its a fast bowling metric, but still, not to forget Lyon, he gets a chunk of their wickets aswell!
He pretty much never bowls with the new ball (he did a bit this series because Hoff was injured) and often takes the worse end. He does sometimes put himself on when a new batsman comes on though, so swings and roundabouts.
@@kiriakoz Absolutely, he does the dirty work. Always has, he bowled alot of death overs in their 2021 Wc win, same in ODI wc 2023, even in tests, never gets new ball, always is the partnership breaker.
@@scobpat6907Yeah. Lyon has averaged four wickets a Test over a 130 of them. And at a rpw average that has fallen to around 30 now.
That represents good value; he does far more than just hold an end up relatively cheaply whilst the quicks rest between spells.
Starc isn't ,averages close to 30s and was handled like a rag doll in last two tours vs India at home

It's almost like they knew the opposition had a bloke called Warne in the team. His first tour there with AB as captain was before he really established himself in the team.

Looking Cummings vs Bumrah over the 5 tests, Bumrah waz easily the best bowler but also didnt help he bowled the most in alot spells for India, where cummings as a bowler and captain, could depend on Stark, Hazelwood and Boland get wickets.
And in the end it showed, when Bumrah was needed in the 5th test, his body broke, when cummings was needed, he got essentially wickets too help win the game.
Bumrah in the end was the best bowler but couldn't win the games in the end, where cummings did
@patrickmitchell9068 Bumrah couldn't win games bcoz of the failure of Indian batters, misfields, and no support for Bumrah in bowling

Not related if you purely compare bowling but Cummins also scored vital runs throughout the series..as an all round package he is the best😊
True. Sadly they missed Mohammed Shami and Ashwin. If Shami was there could have been a different result.
Cummins overall is the best test player right now with batting skills & captaincy duties , Also he doesn't get brand new ball most of the time. But he is not bowling to batters like Smith & head .. Cummins & Rabada performances in India are gonna decide who's the best 😏

Dale Steyn took a ten wicket haul in 2008 on Aussie soil.
Having just watched the recent Border Gavaskar trophy it's certainly evident that Bumrah is an all time great. I'd be very interested to see though, what the proportion of bowling in the match factor and vs. others would be for specifically Cummins and Bumrah. My instinct is that Bumrah as a seamer at home on flat pitches may have a very reduced role with heavily front-weighted first innings success supporting multiple front-line spinners, but maybe Cummins would bowl a lot more at home on Aus flat pitches with Lyon as a single specialist with some part time support HOWEVER also not being significantly better than the rest of the pace attack? Thoughts or stats?
So much data!
Awesome!
After watching Bumrah this summer, he is amazing.
So good to watch.
I'd be interested to know how the bowling lineup changes figures.
Cummins tends to share his wickets with Hazelwood, Stark, and sometimes Bowland, whereas Bumrah seems to do all the heavy lifting. I don't know much about Rababa's teammates.
In the same way, Warne could have taken more wickets if it wasn't for McGrath, and vice versa.
When bumrah plays in India on the dusty rankturners, he has to compete with ashwin and jadeja for those 20 wickets and get them in comparatively shorter spells and he does that superbly well. So, I think Bumrah is a mile ahead of his contemporaries be it anywhere in the world. It was a shame that he got injured or he would have eaten the aussie batting line up in the last test.
I really want to say Rabada as a South African, but Bumrah can just swing a ball in unimaginable ways. Honestly the scariest bowler there currently is.
I think one thing to consider about Bumrah's match factor is that he's played a lot fewer games at home than away. It probably helps his overall average ( although he currently has a better home average than away) but in terms of match factor it probably goes against him as he gets to play less in the conditions he's developed in.
It's always difficult to do these comparisons because cricket is a team game and as good as any individual player is, the ultimate gauge of their success is the performances of the team they're playing for and if they aren't playing for a winning team, they aren't going to look better than their winning counterparts.
I feel like the spicier the wicket gets the less is the gap between great and average bowler,i know that's not the case with rabada but i feel like specifically for bumrah and little bit for Cummins is the pitches had been flatter there match factors would be much better, just like some batsman right now have ridiculous match factors because most batters are struggling so they are the only ones to work it out
Bumrah literally bowls on indian wicket and has an average of 15 or some shit
@@fasios135there are others factors that come into play like he doesn't have to bowl as much. The wickets are always falling from other ends and that it's very hard to hit him

Jarood is GOAT when it comes to cricket analysis. Only contextual data & nuanced analysis. Loved it.
@7:36 only Indian player is Bumrah. GOAT!
All three are goats. You can’t compare which one is better. They all have been matchwinners in their own ways. We’re lucky to watch them play. Especially Bumrah since it’s there’s not lot of time before he breaks down
Yes you can and that's exactly what he just did. There is a clear quality difference between the three
Kimber has revolutionised and elevated cricket commentary and analysis. He is indispensable and essential. So many years dedicated to achieving his standard. I take my hat off to his work ethic.
What made mcgrath so great?
When looking at him he doesn't swing the ball like akram. He doesn't seam like a steyn. He's not fast like akthar.
Is it just the length?
Or he moves the ball just perfect to get edges compared to so many others who moves miles?
You see that match impact, it's partially determined by the other seamers in the team. Someone who carries their team solo will score higher than a highlight in a quality team. India's next best fast bowlers by average are Mukesh Kumar (25.57), Shami (27.71), Thakur (28.38) and Krishna (29.62). Shami has been out for a year, and the others have played 17 games between them. South Africa's arsenal is well-stocked, with Burger (16.92), Jansen (21.76), Sipamla (22.27), Ngidi (23.14), Coetzee (23.57), Olivier (24.27), Mulder (25.96), Paterson (26.24), and Nortje (26.71). Cummins has support from Boland (17.66), Hazlewood (24.57) and Starc (27.78) in a very settled team.
Outside the subcontinent, the standard bowling lineup is three fast bowlers and a spinner. India's attack without Bumrah is feeble compared to that of South Africa without Rabada or Australia without Cummins. We got to see an example of this in Australia's second innings to finish the Sydney test. 162 was chased down in 27 overs, with the wickets mostly thrown away for quick runs.
But other side of this is that partnerships matter in fast bowling too. When the other side know you are the only good bowler in the team, they will simply see you off and score when others are bowling. This reduces your wicket taking ability. When all bowlers are top class then you can't do that so you are forced to take more chances
Wow Jarrod! Your videos put into perspective the things we don't understand about the game. Well rounded analysis! 👏
1.Bumrah
2.Bumrah
3.Cummins + Rabada
Now this is a good analysis - also shows all this GOAT debate for any of the 3 is really premature, as you cannot just compare Avg and SR across eras for batting or bowling. When match factors are introduced you see for every metric.. McGrath, Imran , Steyn, Hadlee showing up again and again at the top of the pile and above all 3 compared.
And the match factor for McGrath is remarkable when you consider he had a bloke named Warne at the other end as well as Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie.
@@mondotv4216 Warne shouldn't matter tbh as this is only comparing fast bowlers in the same match - team mates + opposition - also spinners (outside this drs era indian bunsen wickets) would only make faster men look better as they have worse avgs and strike rates.
@@mondotv4216 About fast bowlers on same side - i am actually unsure does that help or hinder - if you have many good bowlers in yourside its harder to be that much better than them relatively speaking. So even if Cummins is playing vs a weak fast bowling opposition the match factor will be hurt by the fact that boland hazelwood starc are pulling the avg down. However having great bowling support should help you fresh - batsmen cant just decide to just play one bowler out etc and therefore the life isnt squeezed out of you like it was done for Bumrah where the poor guy just broke down. I think this is why I am fascinated by other worldly performances by Hadlee in 83 i think vs Aus and Imran in 82/83 vs India - where they were not only ridiculous in terms of SR and Avg - they were also streets ahead of everyone in opposition and their own team.
@@ZA-ln8eg I think you can definitely see the match factor for Bumrah suffered when Shami was at his peak. I'm not sure about the effect of Warne - there were often less wickets to take compared to the opposition team's pace attack. You could argue that Warne also made McGrath more effective by being so accurate. So you can make an argument either way.
@@ZA-ln8eg Agreed on Hadlee. I think he modelled himself on Dennis Lillee later in his career when he could consistently bowl the ball on off stump and nip away towards the outside edge, except Hadlee was actually better at it if not quite as quick. That tour in 1985/6 his figures were actually better than Bumrah's this BGT. Their actions were remarkably similar. I'm not sure about Imran v India because we had no coverage of that so I'd only have the stats but what I did see of Imran he was also a great technician amd an inspirational leader like Cummins.
All 3 would have separate legacies (prediction)

Can someone please explain match factor?!
Jarrod, you’re the indisputable cricketing nerd of our times. We’re indebted to your service towards our beloved game. 🙏
You've just reminded me what an absolute beast Mcgrath was. Bumrah is a beast too though
There should be a match after wtc with the best players against the wtc champion. Similarly after t20 world cup and odi world cup.
Like all these stats there’s always varied circumstances.
Because we always throw the new ball to Starc then Pat misses that opportunity.
My take though is Bumrah at the top and the other two level pegging at this stage of their careers
Just a special shoutout to what Jayden Seales is achieving for west indies considering the obvious limitations of the team he plays in
Boland was also very impressive, considering he played less test than cummins and bumrah and yet got 20+ wickets
He was amazing..but he needs to prove it overseas
hes nothing over average on flat tracks, the games he played were highly suited for his bowling type
He played 3 test match bumrah played 4
Bumrah has the best ever bowling average for over 200 wickets. Interestingly, Boland has a better bowling average!

Match factor is the player's average compared to all the other players in the match doing that job. It's a ratio. The average is 1, and a match factor of 1.5 means that the concerned player's average is 50% better than all the others who he has played in the match with.
@@PetrolSniffingDoofus Thanks for that, this stat is a new one for me. I’m guessing then that strike factor is the same but for strike rate?
I suppose advanced metrics were destined to be applied to cricket at some point.
Every player has its strength and strong points. Every player has its own playing style. Comparison must be avoided. Numbers don't tell the whole story.
Anderson been on par with the likes of wasim and waqar on match factor is a big slap to people who think he's not one of the greatest of all time
On bouncy wicket its 1) cummins 2) bumrah 3) rabada on swinging conditions its 1)rabada 2) bumrah 3)cummins on flat pitches 1)bumrah 2)rabada 3)cummins and in my assumption thus overall its 1) bumrah 2) rabada 3) cummins
Test match wickets are shared with other great bowlers in the Australian team
Any of them can be the greatest on their day.
But since we've opened up the door for comparisons being made via averages over the historical eras, today the batsmen take more risks obviously due to the T20 influence, so are the current bowlers made to look a bit better both via eyeline and figures?
Couldn't imagine Sam Kostas ramping Curtly Ambrose or Courtney Walsh 20 years ago or Marshall/Croft/Holding/Roberts/Garner, Lillee or Thompson at their peak back in the late 70's.
He would have been stretchered off.
the amount of data in this was insane. thanks!
Good pace going around Cummins, Starc, Rabada, Nortje etc but no express pace of Lee, Akthar, Bond...
If Rabada played as much tests as Bumrah and Cummins it'd be game over
The same happened to Dale Steyn he never played alot of test matches didnt even reach 100 test matches like you James Andersons amd Macgrath
Why isn't Matt Henry discussed
I believe he's the most underrated bowler of this generation
Great video - do you think the short test matches/series Rabada plays vs Cummins & Bumrah negatively affects him in some of these metrics? In terms of getting a rhythm, working batters out over an extended period and just variance?
Is the match factor effected by Cummins being paired with Starc, Hazelwood and Bolland, three players who on their day can dominate a match whereas Rabata and Bumarah have had comparatively weaker support?
Its Bumrah, there arent many eras in history where this current version of bumrah wouldn't be the best pacer
Jarod please factor in these out of form batsman that he is bowling too....vs batsman inform and in their purple patch
Is there an online explanation of the ‘match factor’ metric? Can anyone post a link?
Basically
The average of the other fast bowlers/Average of the particular bowler
Eg
MCG test
Rest of fast bowler 19 wickets at 37.8
Bumrah 9 witckes at 17.3
Match factor=37.8/17.3=2.18
So bumrah's match factor for that test is 2.18
@@lordarb8847 Very many thanks for writing this explanation. Got it (I did try to look it up but I couldn't find anything.) Many thanks again 😊
Let KG play 20 tests a year and then we can have this conversation. KG definitely for longevity. Played 9 years with one injury lay off.
Had Bumrah played more matches on Australia or England pitches, he'd have gotten more wickets. Its like having Shane Warne playing more matches in Indian sub-continent.
The one who has the greatest strike rate ever for bowlers who have taken 200 & 300 wickets
Can you do a video on why so many batsman, like Virat Kohli, have struggled since 2018 but Joe Root has flourished? What has Root done that the likes of Smith and Kohli have not been able to do consistently?
Would be interesting to see bumrah vs the other 2’s best run of 45 consecutive matches. Potentially something that could reward longevity?
Not just test, Bumrah is the greatest active fast bowler in all formats...
The golden age of fast bowling.
How is the match factor calculated?
McGrath, Imran khan and Steyn are on top in a lot of these match factor stats!
This is great stuff !
Hands down Bumrah now…. But have to check on the longevity….
Rabada brings lot of surprises. I’m seeing someone bowling consistently a dangerous length at a good pace after Alan Donald. If Donald can be a white lightening he is poised to be a Black lightening.
7:00 what is match factor ?
Can anyone explain it to me ?
Pat Cummins n Rabada plays mostly at home on pitches favouring fast bowlers where as Bhumrah plays more on turning pitches...so if Bhumrah had helpful pitches at home his strike rate and average will be much higher than Rabada. Cummins will always be no. 3.
Things don't work that way Home advantage always matters Bumrah and rabada have same strike rate at home i.e. 35.
can somebody explain me how was mcgrath so good?played with the likes of brett lee,shane warne and still has such high match factor???played during the flattest pitch era and still avg 21.6 bruh i m in awe
crazy
Keeping things simple is often the best a bowler can do. Just bowl in the right channel. You don't need express speed in test cricket. 135-140kph and right length and line is enough to get you wickets. And brett lee and warne used to get the pressure on the batsman which helped glen massively
What exactly is match factor 6:41 ?
That player's performance in that match vs the performance of the other bowlers in that match.
So if you take 10 wickets for 50 runs your statistic seems amazing, but it everyone else took a collective 30 wickets for 150 runs your "match factor" is 1.
Oh cool thanks for that. Makes more sense now.
Bumrah
Rabada
Cummins
Bumrah Cummins Boland Rabada
Cummins made his test debut in 2011 and is still behind
Rabada in terms of number of wickets who made his debut in 2015 😂😂😂
@@tebogomaphephe3470 he was injured and missed some 5-6 years. He made a comeback against india in 2017.
Hey Jarrod.. can it be that since the fab 4 were at their prime during the batting era, the bowling AVG were low and no new talents got that much exposure much like how the bowling greats were and there were no immediate replacement and it's just a sine curve with batting on +X axis and bowling at +y axis. And with that same trend once this crop of bowlers age and no replacement are available the new batting talent that grows in absence of fab4 will take batting avgs back up?? Just a random thought
Although I am a fan of Cummins, it has to be hands down Bumrah. I thought Bumrah was at his peak a couple of years back. Now he has crushed the peak and flying into the stratosphere. There is no way catching him now.
He skids , he swings , he seams , he slings and he speeds.
Jassi Bumrah
Well, just thinking about the supporting cast of each player.
What's the definition of Match factor and Strike factor? Can you please elaborate? Maybe also give a formula for the ratio?
Match factor - how much better the player is compared to avg of other players in the match. Here bumrah being 1.34 means, he's 34 % better than par.
I think that's the jist
Bhumrah Cummins rabada archar. Fab 4 bowlers
hey jarrod, great work as always, I'd like your thoughts on the barnes standard please
Bumrah & Cummins are a class above and you'd have to say Boland is up there with them. Just needs a few more overseas tours to see if he can keep the same level up.
To test your theory lets see whose gonna make an impact between Rabada and Cummins in WTC final 😂😂
please make one video for Dale Steyn
looking foward to seeing cummins vs Rabada
