Who will win these battles

[capt_Luffy]

Which bats historically have a game that can do well against Bumrah then?

Bradman.

Except Don, I would bet on someone more gritty like Waugh, Hutton and Border. I don't think hitting Bumrah out is a strategy you can use to good results regularly. Surviving his spell is the wiser option imho.

Root has scored some great runs, especially in 2021, but I think his numbers are a tad soft. Especially in India. And that reverse scoop catch to the slips......

Root did well in eng and boom has upper hand in india

 

[capt_Luffy]

Dude bumrah would do well vs eye hand coordination players ala smith and lara not vs proper technical ones like viv sachin and root

Can't say necessarily agree.

Imo hitting is best. Disturbs his line

Yeah extremely soft numbers against Dukes...in England...when no one else was making runs...

For now. Soon it's getting sub 30 vs Bumrah there @Johan

You highlighted half the comment because.......

Do you seriously believe your one man attack is denting Root on pitches that are likely gonna be akin to 1920s covered English wickets?

Disagree. I think hitting Bumrah regularly will get you in hot water more often than not.

Yes

Ok, but seriously, I think Root will average 35ish this Series.

Smith also averages over 40 against Bumrah with three tons. And that's not even in his peak. Let me guess, soft runs too...

Hm, don't really think there's a bowler in history whom I back to consistently win encounters with Hutton, too perfect techncially.

You watched the BGT. Would you say Smith did well to Bumrah??

Lol we just had a series against ATG Bumrah where Travis Head successfully scored runs against him by hitting out.

 

[subshakerz]

No he wasn't comfy at all. But like I said, this isn't peak Smith so how is he averaging 40 against him with three tons? Maybe Bumrah isnt as unconquerable as you are making out.

Viv is going to average 40 plus against Bumrah. Guaranteed.

 

[Johan]

This is true, Viv is basically a similar style as Travis against fast bowling but far, far better

Asif with the new ball.

 

[Johan]

Asif with the new ball.

Advantage Hutton.

I’m sorry, what?

 

[capt_Luffy]

Lol we just had a series against ATG Bumrah where Travis Head successfully scored runs against him by hitting out.

And I don't think it will work on a redo. There's a reason Head fell off.

Lol XD
