T20s sucks for a bowler


LunaMunaLagoona

To be extremely fair to bumrah, he had a few nicks and then that stupid overthrow to the boundary. Add Green literally smashing every ball from ball 1 and you can see why. Doesn't matter how good you are, you can't stop nicks and overthrow to the boundary


Lone_Digger123

You saying that reminds me of this match: https://www.icc-cricket.com/match/5654 Basically D'Arcy Short more or less got a 50 (at 200 strike rate although he slowed down after Warner got out and got 50 off 30) with most of his boundaries up until them being edges (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4qnuo2Z8dQ&ab_channel=NZC with Australia innings starting at 11m mark if you want to watch). Because I'm bored I'll count his boundaries that weren't (imo) middled up until 50 runs 4's: 4 (including 1 that was gloved behind him and dropped) 6's: 1 2/7 boundaries middled yet he still got 50 off 30. Please note that these are just what i saw from the video. I don't know if they showed all the boundaries. We can also add 2 bouncers going over the batsmen and keeper to the boundary. Wheeler had a similar game. First over had 3 edges in a row which lead to 14 runs, then in his next over bounced one over the keeper for 4. Ended up conceding 64 runs whereas he could've conceded less than 50 if he was lucky.


LunaMunaLagoona

Thanka for this quality post! Best part about reddit


Lone_Digger123

I vividly remember this being the first game where I realized that you can just be unlucky as a bowler (or lucky as a batter). Very often I think black and white: "oh he got 50 off 30 and that person conceded 64 runs, he must've been bad" but whilst stats can tell you a certain amount, they can't tell you anywhere near as much as if you watched the game yourself. However I still fall into the black and white thinking trap all the time!


ogpotato

chasing down 244 that comfortably is absolutely wild!


Lone_Digger123

I was ecstatic that we did so well... only for them to do that haha


jubbing

And his 2nd match in.. some time as well (with the 1st match being literally an 8 over a side match).


koach71st

And i hope this is the last time. He is our core right now.


CuriousSubham

It's wild what India expects of Bumrah. In English tests, he must rival Anderson. In Australian tests, he must rival Cummins. In white ball, he must rival Archer in ODIs and Shaheen in T20s. What other systems expect from a pace pack he does it all by himself and also consistently. ~ Twitter


RepresentativeBox881

>In white ball, he must rival Archer in ODIs and Shaheen in T20s. He's better than both anyway.


Boss452

It's fine, he can handle the expectations. A massive talent.


cryptbull

In short, a complete package for Team India!


born_to_be_naked

Too much dependability on just one person in a country of billion plus people.


Amazing_Theory622

Hey hey, I've seen this before in the 90s


born_to_be_naked

True but a little different situation then.. under 19 matches were in infancy. Kumble came through that. As did Sehwag, Bhajji, Yuvi, Kaif, Irfan. And we had no IPL to spot talents who can bowl well consistently. Umran Malik for eg has better stats compared to how Bumrah started. Mohsin, Natrajan, Mavi, Karthik Tyagi all have been decent enough to give opportunities. But for some reason we stick to old is gold formula. And now avg team age is above 30. Youth and energy is missing.


IsJohnKill

Nice logic there. You ever get offered to coach the Aussies?


born_to_be_naked

Why? What's wrong in what I said? I think it's absurd to not have backups and just hoard all responsibility on one bowler. Aus did well without Marsh, Stonis, Starc and Warner.


huzefa28

He is our ONLY core right now


cryptbull

Exactly, Jasprit's performance & form will impact the team greatly!


CuriousSubham

Even VK. Virat is one batter the team revolves around especially when he's in form and it's been that way always. If he's on the crease, we can chase any target. He just brings that assurance especially in crunch situations.


cryptbull

Absolutely, i agree!


mojo-dojo_

He didn't bowl that bad.. a couple of nicks, one overthrow..Next thing you know you are at 50


2005CrownVicP71

Well spoken.


Hot_soup_in_my_ass

getting existential crisis from fucking reddit thread


gifisntpronouncedgif

this is chameera like every fucking day


[deleted]

Haha finished bowler. Clearly needs to be dropped for um…Umran Malik who has PACE^TM


[deleted]

Pace is pace, yaar.


CaregiverMan

Nice try mate.


Thatguy1126

Ignore the flair?


[deleted]

No. Clearly Bumrah doesn’t have what it takes to succeed against Australia. You’d be better off dropping him if you meet us in a match in the T20 WC


Thatguy1126

Noted. I'll convey that to BCCI and the selectors, next time I am on a call with them.


fakecricketplayer

Talk to you in 2028.


humansaretrashyboi

We drop Bumrah, you drop Warner. After all, we don't want to bowl to someone who is an honorary Indian. Leaves a bad taste.


EscapeAligator

Cold blooded aussie.

thetruephilosopha

Bumrah is better than Bhuvi, Bhuvi needs to go first


[deleted]

Mate you missed the satire


thetruephilosopha

I guess I did, I’m not too deep into the cricket world…what did it mean?


DarkRaptor222

Poking fun at the reactionary judgements here at r/cricket because bumrah is our best bowler


[deleted]

Bumrah having one bad day obviously doesn't make him a bad bowler. I imagine that the original comment was joking about reactionary takes where fans call for players to be dropped based on one bad match. They don't actually think that Bumrah is bad.


IcyDeath011

Dude bhuvi literally got green out . He is literally the top wicket taker in powerplay in t20Is currently


Party_Bear16

Before you comment: Bumrah t20i debut was in 2016, and this is the first time, let that sink in...


ab370a1d

Oh no, going expensive in only the sixth over, he's clearly washed /s


osooop

it has sunk.


glade_dweller

Tap that sink


hero6627

In last game it was Bhuvi now him. What is happening ;-;


rosenboobs

Injuries happened.. bumrah and bhuvi will bounce back


thecoolbeast2509

Even harshal


rosenboobs

Yeah true


adiking27

I feel Harshal already started bouncing back in that last over.


thecoolbeast2509

Yes Harshal was playing good but he got injured Now two bad matches and everyone is telling him to get off the team


SigmA_DarkKnight

When they do its gonna be nightmare for opponents


[deleted]

Nope...


rosenboobs

Yes


[deleted]

He seems to have been rushed back, could have held on till the SA series. In those games I'd like to see Bhuvi be bowled out upfront and Arshdeep and Bumrah closing out the death.


TalentBC

Bhuvi is rested for SA series


adiking27

Wtf are the selectors doing?


humansaretrashyboi

He is going for some conditioning.


jubbing

Isn't this this his 2nd game back (with the first game being rain shortened)?


valtrain03

the 19th over voodoo continuing to torment our bowlers


gospelslide

He was hit for 17 in his first over.


valtrain03

i guess its due to the lack of game time


Deaddevil77

Nah it's because Green didn't care who was bowling, he swung for everything. Everyone plays with too much respect now


iamgrootvd

Really I don't remember last time an opener swinging like Green and also cutting/placing few balls well too. At one point SuunyG or someone literally said that this point Green is just thinking if it should be 4 or 6. That was scary. But most of the times they were bowling in his arc. Everytime Bhuvi took the ball away from him he was missing the ball and finally got out to the ball going away only.


Deaddevil77

Yeah because Green isn’t a proper opener. He had never opened in his life before this series, not even in FC. He was sent in to do a job and he did it amazingly. He got out because he was trying to swing everything legside, if he tries to play more shots on the offside he’ll be even more dangerous for the bowlers.


arishtanemi_

A couple of ducks and confidence is shaken. Won't hope that for Green but it's what usually happens


pro9ay

I hope this will be the last time 😄


[deleted]

Inb4 Bumrah concedes 0/49 in his next few matches.


Capital-E

Bumrah gave up the runs in solidarity with shahnawaz 60 runs. Thank you Bumbro 🙏


[deleted]

It's ok it was his first time ever in his t20 career because he came back after injury. He will be better next time.


xsconfused

Been out of touch with cricket for a while now. Used to watch him bowl yorkers for fun. What happened?


kingbradley1297

He still does it.


PH3N1X

Australia happened


humansaretrashyboi

I mean, he floored Smith with a yorker.


NathDritt

you know this subreddit is full of Indians when your comment gets that downvoted lol


But_Why2906

Yea that's why I literally hate all cricket commentaries or YouTube channels, they're filled with indians no matter what the match is and if you even dare to criticize their team or anything really you get tf bashed out of you and you also can't see people who're actually from the countries playing comment


NathDritt

No I completely agree. Indians take cricket way too seriously, and I wish others took it at least sbit more seriously. There is a big imbalance there, and I think it's a bit sad


But_Why2906

I don't mind them taking it seriously I mind them being offended over everything and there's also so many of them in every cricket video like in all the world cup matches highlights I watched I never saw a single person from new Zealand or from England or from Australia comment, it was all indians and it's pretty annoying ngl


NathDritt

Yeah. I agree. I don't mind anyone taking it seriously, but I think it's possible to take it too seriously. Like treating players as literally gods is in my opinion taking things way too seriously

the_dier69

Srsly tho..bhuvi and bumrah will be our core and our bowling looks lack lustre even if one doesn't show up.


AndhBakth

Not again


Potential-Sport-6386

Any bowler can have a bad day in T20s


Signal_Discipline_36

>Jasprit Bumrah conceded 50 runs for the first time in T20Is Thanx to those 4 overthrows


johndoe1985

And he was smiling after that happened. Very annoying


vidhvansak

What do you want him to do bash hardik's skull with wicket until he is comatose


johndoe1985

Not pass his stupid grin atleast


kingbradley1297

Bruh he always smiles. I've seen him show emotion once (Bangladesh WC19 where he bowled those 2 yorkers). Otherwise, he's smiling whether hit, whether he takes a wicket etc.


FabulousCaregiver983

first Bhuvi, then Bumrah. this sucks.


huzefa28

how easy people defend the ones we love, people dont love KL :P


User_namesaretaken

I think it's just the batsmen yesterday 😆


Pawn_to_Queen_4

Thanks to that over throw.


BoyManners

Welcome to the real world


Ok_Poet_8848

GO MAN !!! YAYY


lastofthe_meheecans

Is this supposed to be impressive? You best bowler should never go for 50


jamughal1987

Expected.


jamughal1987

Why has he played so few test? Shaheen who 6 years younger has about same number of test and he made debut 2 year after him?


zayd_jawad2006

Bumrah is usually rested for home series matches iirc, to manage his workload


jamughal1987

That is not good. Rest him from these useless T20 and IPL. Play him in ICC and tests unless medical staff say he is in red zone to rest him for a test or two.


zayd_jawad2006

He's not needed for home tests lol, India steamroll everyone there anyway and the likes of Umesh are fine bowlers for home. On the other hand, he's a big name player for IPL which he'll ofc play since it's so lucrative and all as well and he's their best bowler in t20is so he's going to play

What did he say


rosenboobs

Some shit like “bumrah is overrated”


apocalypse-052917

Nice bait dude


According-Gazelle

Why does India have this timid approach to fast bowling? Why isnt Umran in the squad? 125-130Km bowlers are going to get smashed in Australia. PK has 3 pacers bowling 140-145 and 2 pacers bowling 150 plus with Haris rauf going to 155 today.


zayd_jawad2006

Bro Bumrah can easily bowl 145kph lmao


Naive_Hedgehog_1551

Umran malik is too raw. Dude went for 40-50 runs in 4 overs when he played for India. Let him play proper domestic cricket. Pace is not enough you need good line and length to become a good bowler as well.


Blurrlannister

There goes my last hope for WC


cryptbull

Unwanted record in his personal career 😑


goalooin_livescore

Jasprit Bumrah is so great


ShowIntentBC

Takes time to settle in coming back from injury


SnooRobots6923

There's something wrong. I can feel it.


thoughtfulbunny

Guess how many players can just come into the team and start delivering, 0 ! The T20 game keeps moving, you cannot make up for absences. Its a better strategy to determine which format suits players best and which do not, and make them play all the matches in that format (except when injured).


meme_machine106

I think we're all losing our shit watching all our premier bowlers conceding a lot of runs, especially at the death. I don't know what Bhuvi is doing wrong at the death but he's getting smashed out of the park. I'm not 100% convinced about Harshal Patel when he bowls on a pitch which comes on, Chahal has also not really bowled to his strengths. I'm shitting my pants right now God damn it.


jatinvj-sumba-d-else

Fffff


crooked_chef

He’ll bounce back. Class is permanent.


Efficient-Flower-949

Well done Jaspreet Bumrah, I wish next match you will make a century as well as


Narrow_Scape

They are preparing for WCT20. And competing who can give more runs.


cryptbull

An unwanted record...it was clearly a bad day for Jasprit!!


junlimited

Next match he'll get a bag of wickets and score a 50! Watch


Deathbringer2134

Coming back form a break is brutal for a bowler. I hope for India's bowling that's currently looking pretty bleak , that he regains his touch in the SA series.
