Neat little clip of McGrath and Asif opening the bowling together.Mohomad Asif was pretty skilled

At least Marshall could be counted on to play an entire series.Except reverse. And late swing. And slower balls.
Yes he is betterAt least Marshall could be counted on to play an entire series.
Could also bowl "all day" if needed.At least Marshall could be counted on to play an entire series.
What does that have to do with "Skill"?At least Marshall could be counted on to play an entire series.
I'm obviously not a bat who has faced Bumrah, but as a spectator, I find him almost unreadable. The weird, almost jerky action he has is beyond me. I can't work out what he is trying to do with the ball. Even after I see him moving the ball, I can't tell if he is swinging it or seaming it half the time. That disguised action must be a nightmare to face. But it will eventually be the end of him.The things that make Bumrah skillful also detract from his durability. It's a give n' take. Even Wasim lived with a perennially strained groin. You make Bumrah into a more orthodox bowler and you start losing bits of what makes him special.
May I ask who was?In answer to the Posed Question: The answer is unequivocally NO!
why hasn't there been a thread on this btwWarne vs Murali on skill is very hard to say.
I think Warne originally had more drift. Murali spins a bit more on average. Both roughly as accurate. Warne has a good top spinner and great flipper but a poor wrongun. Murali has the doosra which is his big advantage.
Bowling all day isn't a skill per se.Could also bowl "all day" if needed.
But skill wise, he mastered everything of his day besides reverse, and there's disputed reports about that.
It was also his constant desire to improve. He didn't want to be one dimensional, learned and mastered outswing. Had challenges in slower conditions, developed cutters, also learned how to bowl reverse.
And he also possessed the ability to be an enforcer, and was probably the most cerebral of fast bowlers.
That's true of 90% players (conservatively speaking) who play at international level.It was also his constant desire to improve.
India dickriding + extreme recency bias, let blud get past Steyn first.Just to reply to @Johan who thinks Bumrah isn't being discussed as the greatest ever or with McGrath and Marshall, I keep coming across clips like the below where these comparisons are being made. Obviously it's premature but it tells me if he ends his career at 300 at the same place that no.1 place may be the wider perception.

If he can get to 300 wickets a sub 20 average which is unlikely in my opinion, then Bumrah will be a serious contender for the best ever fast bowler.Obviously it's premature but it tells me if he ends his career at 300 at the same place that no.1 place may be the wider
Marshall, Hadlee, Wasim, Murali, ??How would your top 5 look like?
