Two future ATGs. Who do you rate higher
Jamieson probably has a higher ceiling, swings the ball both ways consistently which I don't think robinson can do, it a bit faster abnd also has a nastier bouncer coming from a slightly taller frame. On current performance has to be robinson though. Has been fantastic in england, won england a series in PAK on some absolute roads and took 11 wickets @25 in the one series he played in AUS. Jamieson doesn't have the performances across conditions that robinson has under his belt atm.

Maybe Jamieson vs Jansen would have been better. So many quality seamers around atm

Should do a prediction right now on Jamieson, Jansen, Robinson, Axar and Boland to see where they end up. All 5 of them average at the ATG level of sub-20 right now and all 5 belong to different countries too.

I voted for KJ. Some deliveries he produces are amazing. Perhaps the most exciting bowler to watch since Steyn and good Mitchell J. Today there are several bowlers better, but none more exciting. NZ really needs him to stay fit. Probably as important as Williamson and Conway for NZ to return to an elite test team.

Ollie Robinson has produced some excellent performances in a range of conditions though. Looks like the natural next leader of the England attack and should play HEAPS of tests if he stays fit and motivated and thus take heaps of wickets. Both are fine bowlers

Am biased towards Jamieson after he basically drove the Black Caps to the test championship. At 6 '8 he's a Kiwi Joel Garner. Haven't seen enough of Robinson although was impressed he was able to turn his hand to off-spin in the Ashes.

Two serious gun bowlers, would give it to Jamieson if he was at his best, but that of course is going to be the big question in time to come.
Ollie has been outstanding to date and barring injury will be a fantastic bowler for England in future years.

Jamieson has only played 2 Tests outside either NZ or England. Robinson has 4 in Australia and 3 in Pakistan from his 14. I'll take Jamieson seriously when he's played in some different conditions.

To be fair his performance in the final of the world test championship (returns of 5/31 and 2/30) went a long way to winning it for NZ.
No surprises he was man of the match.

It is super annoying we picked Matt Henry for the third test against Australia in 19/20 instead of debuting Jamieson (who apparently looked far better in the nets).
