Headingley was a high competitive contest because India had three centurions, had they not then it wouldn't be so competitive, on a greentop all the English bowlers will take wickets, on flat pitches india's superior new ball bowling and the Bumrah factor are much more transparent, they have zero batting advantages to extrapolate on a greentop.
Yeah bloke would have a single digit average on those decks if they're like the series on now.
He is. India plays a test series vs the west indies in November, at India though.
Remind me of the instances where India bowled 1st on a green top in 2021? There were NO such instances. England always happened to bowl first (on greentops)
So England got to use the green conditions on day 1 everytime.
Bumrah won't play at Old Trafford. He's too precious to play an even number test.
Hell on earth for them.
So England scoring runs against Bumrah on greentops is invalid because it wasn't on day 1 huh...
This is also called "doing an Anderson. Only a lot, lot better."
I doubt he'd play nothing home games against the West Indies.
In before he grows a beard.
He will after a 10 day break. And series on the line
He often doesn't play against the lower ranked teams, but since his workload later this year isn't much, I think he'll play one vs WI and both vs SA.
Wish he can play all 4..
