International Captain
Two smart bowlers
India’s Wasim AkramBumrah, literally a lottery bowler for any cricket playing nation. It's rare to find a bowler with right balance of skills, pace and bowling acumen.
It's time we had another World XI vs whoever the reigning WTC champ is. Could become something of a marquee event even now that the WTC is a part of the calendar.Bumrah makes it into every current test XI without a second thought no matter the country that side is playing in.
All condition players trump longevity in my book.
This actually sounds really interesting.....It's time we had another World XI vs whoever the reigning WTC champ is. Could become something of a marquee event even now that the WTC is a part of the calendar.
I think both are overrated on CW so I just haven't voted. But Bumrah's Test career is barely real at all. I'd probably vote Ashwin if pushed. The average team would make more use of a very good spinner who was available all the time for a decade than whatever Bumrah is.I would be interested in hearing the argument for Ashwin here.
So Australia vs :It's time we had another World XI vs whoever the reigning WTC champ is. Could become something of a marquee event even now that the WTC is a part of the calendar.
He has 150+ wickets. It's beyond the point where his career can be called insignificant.I think both are overrated on CW so I just haven't voted. But Bumrah's Test career is barely real at all.
