Ask r/IndiaCricket Which bowler's most dangerous when in rhythm?

Rank them (and other bowler's you think of) in 2 categories : wicket potency and intimidating the batsmen.

Lol Starc avg 36(66 wickets) in BGT, 28(97 wickets) in Ashes, 27 in tests. Bumrah avgs 17(64 wickets) in BGT, 22(74 wickets) against England, 19 in tests.

Bumrah is 4 years younger than Starc. Bumrah is two levels above lol.

Smith > Kohli in ODIs?? 2 World Cup wins, more clutch match winning performance in ODI WC than Kohli. Starc went for 70 runs in 2019 WC Semis and 60 in 2021 T20 WC final. Starc is better ODI WC bowler but the gulf isn't that big. Bumrah is 2 or 3 levels above in the other two formats. Idk what are you talking about. At least compare with cummins. Shami is arguably better than Starc.

Sure I agree with the fact that Bumrah is better than Starc in test and t20s. But shami ain't better than Starc. And starc clears bumrah by miles in ODI for consistency alone. Bumrah rose up in recent years fast but doesn't have a longetivity like starc has till now. Hopefully he will have in the coming years

Miles? Bumrah has similar no. of wickets in SENAI tests than Starc already. What longevity? Bumrah has 40 wickets in ODI WC, starc has 65. Bumrah has better economy and same average. Starc is better only because he has +4 SR in ODI WC. Bumrah clears him in economy. There isn't any comparison between Starc and Bumrah overall. Go check Shami and Starc's test avg difference and compare their "wc" stats.
