Jasprit Bumrah vs Dennis Lillee

[Johan]

Meh, Bumrah beat Trueman and I'm the kind of petty who'd switch vote from Lillee to Bumrah to make sure Bumrah beats DKL too.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Dude follow the conversation. It's 27 thanks to an injured test in WI. Otherwise it's 55 wicket in 11 tests @25 with a sub 50 SR.

I don't call that ATY but it's by no means a weak record like Johan is pretending against the best side at the time.

It's by no means weak, but isn't outstanding either, given it was his home and he played them on plenty helpful surfaces. So yeah, Lillee is a English bully.

Lillee terrorized strong wi in 75/76 with Llyod rowe, fedricks kalicharan and viv in it

He got Viv's wicket 9 times in 11 tests, a better rate than McGrath against Lara and Tendulkar.

It's pretty ridiculous the extent some here want to minimize Lillee.

There is no way either of the two were "better" than Bumrah.

I find it hard to say 27@26 in some of the fiercest pitches is "terrorizing". As I said, his WI record is Very Good but not Great.

 

[subshakerz]

Baby Viv

Lol his peak started the same series, you know that.

Quality is worthless without the quantity

One of his biggest selling points you highlight is his peer reputation, which many here don't take seriously.

 

[Coronis]

I disagree slightly. I don't think a great ER compensates for less overall wickets. I used to.

I mean, not necessarily less wickets if someone can bowl much longer

 

[subshakerz]

Yes exactly, Lillee vs WI is very good. It is not a weakness by any means.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Lol his peak started the same series, you know that.

In the last 2 Games, yes. He was dud largely for the first 4 and averaged 37

 

[h_hurricane]

So @Prince EWS goes with the order Hoggard > Lillee > Bumrah.

 

[subshakerz]

Yes bowling longer spells to get those wickets can definitely compensate.

 

[subshakerz]

In the last 2 Games, yes. He was dud largely for the first 4 and averaged 37

I mean we can't dismiss his wickets in that series then.

 

[Coronis]

Baby Viv

lol

 

[Johan]

Lol his peak started the same series, you know that.

by the end Yes, and last two matches he batted very well, first four not quite so much

 

[Johan]

lol
