‘Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowler we have ever welcomed to Australia,’– ABC’s Dean Bilton
‘The Greatest of all time is doing what he does best here at the ‘G’ @Jaspritbumrah93 is incredible .. #AUSvIND’– Michael Vaughan
Jasprit Bumrah’s 3-1-4-3 on the day and 61 wickets at 16.98 Down Under, including 29 at 12.27 in this series in Australia, has brought alive not just the last session, this Test, this series, but the pacer is lit among Australian cricket followers.
As he reached 201 wickets, his 19.56 average was the best for any bowler in Test cricket, and it was specially satisfying that he started the inning claiming Sam Konstas, and his 200th was Travis Head, the two batters considered as worries for India.
While the 12 runs fleeced off his last over, when he looked tad tired, and the last wicket partnership gave Aussies hope of surviving after their middle order had been wrecked, Bumrah’s 3 over spell for as many wickets after an inspired decision to deploy him skipper Rohit Sharma, has left the Aussies reeling.
Fox Cricket geeked out on their new technology created Kiwi company Virtual Eye which threw up startling numbers that are helping decipher Bumrah’s magic – though no amount of understanding him is helping Aussie batters stave him off.
“Fox Bio(metric) revealed that Bumrah’s arm speed at the point of the delivery is around 75km/h and the ball comes out at around 135km/h which means his magical right wr can roughly generates 60km/h of power,” Fox Cricket wrote.
Michael Vaughan who called Bumrah GOAT, said he had arrived at the revelation that Bumrah wasn’t at all a momentum bowler – in fact momentum was incidental to his action, unlike all past greats. “I used to think that (momentum matters) but Bumrah runs in at just 18km/h so what does that say (about momentum) when (spinner) Ravi Jadeja runs in at just 16km/h (Pat Cummins is around 23km/h),’’ Vaughan explained.
“Maybe momentum is not as important as we thought. I am looking forward to seeing how fast England’s Mark Wood runs in next year. I sense it will be around 30km/h,” Vaughan added.
FoX-RAY another tool deployed Fox Cricket to look at the bone placements of players, had already confirmed a fascinating link between the summer’s two champion fast bowlers – Bumrah and Pat Cummins – who both have rigidly straight front legs which is the core of their powers, wrote the website. “This contrasts with most other fast men who bend their front bowling leg. Youngsters trying to copy the greats will have taken note,” it added.
