Have India failed to capitalize on Bumrah?

Shami is an immense loss to the team. Was the perfect new ball partner for Bumrah and even though he was never that good in England (always bowled too short), he was never too wayward in terms of accuracy. He'd have been enough of a handful in the Australia tour on those pitches especially to the extent where I think we'd have won that series.

Ishant, Bhuvi and Umesh too to varying degrees. We dumped our golden generation bowlers too soon.

IIRC the word (before the most recent series of course) was that the Indian bowler the Aus players worried about the most was always Shami rather than Bumrah, they found him really really difficult to face.

This is literally the first genuinely poor innings of his career,

That's not true.

That's not true.

whatever, it’s an outlier. Every bowler has them. Bumrash has them less than anyone else. Great players don’t make teams. Pakistan failed to capitalize on Imran, Waqar and Wasim. South Africa failed to capitalize on Steyn. If you use the same argument and metrics
