Kagiso Rabada vs Pat Cummins

[PlayerComparisons]

Has Rabada passed Cummins?

 

[Johan]

Rabada, as of the moment, is the greatest Greentrack bully since Alec Bedser.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Cummins is more consistent but Rabada simply knows how to keep picking wickets even when he's not at his best. Useful skill to have.

As to whether Rabada has "passed" Cummins, isn't he already ahead statistically?

 

[Thala_0710]

Cummins for now

 

[Agonizingly Awkward]

There's not much difference between these two bowlers.

Not really no

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Not really no

What? 71 Tests each, more wkts, better avg, better SR.

Rabada has averaged 21.25 since 2017 which is basically when Cummins’s career started

Cummins is generally rated higher because Australian wickets are substantially flatter than South African ones so the perception is that he has a harder job.

 

[Stefan9]

Both have similar records. Great records but both with subpar performances in the sub continent. I will take kg cause of the superior strikerate but would love both together.

Cummins has had the advantage of the much better batting lineup for most of the two careers. Advantages and disadvantages when you analyse both.

Much more bowling friendly pitches as well.
Cummins beats Rabada on both match factor and discount factor.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Home pitches is a fair point. Aus pitches pre Covid were nearly as flat as those in Pak and still very flat at times post Covid.

 

[Randomfan]

Rabada needs to improve here. Yes, Rabada has a good career avg and volume but that's a lazy way to rate players. Rabada's career avg seems low thanks to 200 wickets at avg of 20 at home, but in SA,
