a lot of people picking rabada.

a lot of people have not watched any test match cricket in the last 18 months.

He's been battling injury hasn't he? His overall record is still fantastic.

Not sure how averaging 24 is supposed to be bad.

The point is that there's much better and the majority of those Tests were in South Africa (which is fairly seam-friendly). Away from home he's been kinda meh.

His ER is also poor, though granted a lot of that comes from him being such an attacking bowler.

Why no one mentions Jason Holder? He had been astronomical in last two years.

Majority of his success have come at home, if I'm not mistaken, and with the Dukes ball.

Valid question. Perhaps the English folks will provide reasonable answers.
