Episode 42 - Batta Fast at the T20 World Cup - India WIN - Bumrah's GOAT status 

We tend to overglorify the past. Waseem isn't untouchable. He belongs to an era where cricket wasn't as batting friendly as it is today. He could rely on reverse swing because of 1 ball being used most of the time (1992 being an exception), and let's not forget how easy it was to tamper the ball at the time. Bumrah has none of these advantages and to be such dominating bowler in today's era easily takes him above the likes of Wasim Akram. And yep, i'm saying this as a pakistani

jeez analogy of jadeja to imad.............that is some dreamy evaluation

Stats shouldn't be seen in isolation. Jadeja played just 22 balls and scored 35 runs. That's SR of 160 and went for 106 in 14 overs that 7.57 Economy. He was India Sixth bowler and Eighth batsman. Having him at no 8 gives India assurance that they can go hard at the top, in case of collapse, Jadeja will score a 45 ball 50 and take India to a par score. And Jadeja is very good at not getting out and scoring without any risks. He can score that 45 ball 50 7-8 out of 10 times. And he saves you 5-7 runs on field, and at best, he is a good defensive bowler. So, overall a plus.

umpire mehnat kartha to verify catch ?? these people are not able to digest the fact that India won and finding ways to downplay the win !!

Ahmer is so sad😂😂😂

Jadeja has been excellent in test matches and ok in odis but not so in t20s. But in no way you can compare to imad wasim.

Shaun Pollock perfectly replied about Suryakumar Yadav catch and unnecessary controversy. 😂😂

The Episode had everything for Indian audience from great analysis to usual Pakistani salt about "unfairness/biasness" (Sky's catch).😜

Imagine Bumrah with just one white ball, reversing from over 35. Wasim never had to play with 2 white balls in ODI cricket.

Bumrah's last 2 overs is like a black hole event horizon - an invisible threshold which you don't see - but once cross you can never come back.

*In Munnabhai's voice* "Wo Raat Apun 2 Baje Tak Piya" - AHMER NAKVI

ya ya... Bcci got favor from ICC say that directly guys.. You dont need to beat around the bush when you decided to rip it off anyways.. And talking about richard kettleborough... he's the integral part of many India heartbreaks (if you guys think anywhere he is being biased on that catch..) if that was taken by any SENA countries there wont be a discussion on that catch.. As you guys said yourself that asian teams are not capable in holding to such catches.. come on man.. Honestly, they deserve to win this tournament.. This match is just a replay of Ind vs Pak.. they used the same strategy to dry up boundaries and bowling tight..

Ahmer and Osman.. I am one of those older Indian millennials who remembers how I always wanted ONE Indian bowler who was just Right Arm or Left Arm Fast without a medium attached to it.. You guys with you array of Fast bowlers through the 90s and 2000s and even now would never know this feeling… I still pinch myself every time I see Bumrah pick up the ball that yes India has a fast bowler and an all time great at that. It’s hard to describe what Bumrah means to people of my generation Love the pod

Last ICC Trophy that India won, Champions Trophy 2013, Jadeja build the innings and scored some crucial quick runs, and then took crucial wickets. He was basically the player of the match in the finals. Also, throughput the tournament as well, he was India's second most important player after Shikhar Dhawan.

On the contrary, Bumrah did take those 2 early wickets against Australia in CWC 23 Final,. & He did beat Head a N number of times, Travis head was really lucky + brave to get through that phase & won the WC for Aus,.. Bumrah has been simply sensational in almost every game he turn out for India irrespective of the format. Hes simple invincible & unplayable at times, delivered at so many crucial times for india. His Conversion rate in terms of building the dot balls pressure to take a wicket is just remarkable.

you guys are forgetting arshdeep who bowled the perfect death overs that meant pandya had 16 to save

The best thing about this Kohli and Pant both bought into Rohit's Vision of aggressive style of play. These Guys though they have huge range of strokes (more so in case of Pant) usually take their time to settle in, access the pitch, and then go on the offensive mode. Kohli we all know, even Pant, whenever he has played a great test knock, he started off very slow and then he picks his spots, which shots to play against which bowler, etc. The best thing is India has finally bought into the Eoin Morgan Style of playing T20 cricket and now, they got players to do that. Now, they are looking for 30-35 avg but 150-160 SR instead of 45 Avg 135 SR like of players.

Just like the likes of Kohli and Babar Azam are not comparable to the likes of Tendulkar and Lara (because modern cricket is so batter-friendly), Bumrah is not comparable to the likes of Wasim/Waqar in the same way: they played in a relatively bowler-friendly era.

We won this world cub because we did not depend on 2-3 guys ...almost All people contributed whenever needed .. and self belief was at another level .. and bumrah is GOAT without him , rohi , Kohli would never had won it

50:43 shut up Jaddu rocked his hairstyle throughout his career.

What Axar Patel did for India in this tournament ..Jadeja did that for India in numerous tournaments including the 2013 Champions trophy..he was the man of the match in the final also...and a gun fielder ...probably the best in the world.

Has there ever been an opposition player who's gone from being so unliked (to put it mildly) to becoming so widely loved in Pakistan as Virat Kohli? It's so insane to see the love he gets here.

What a fab podcast boys ! Perhaps you missed speaking about the big bear Rohit Sharma. Surely he deserved some airtime 😊

Famous cricket writer Osman salauddin right ? 😮. I am great great fan of his art of writing . I follow him on twitter.

Ye dono milke nazar laga denge Bumrah par 😢

FYI, it was the grass which moved due to sky's shoe spikes when zoomed in, and the boundary cushion was unmoved all the way through, so stop crying 😂.

Naqvi bhai, We pull your leg not troll. However, Boom is not Wasim's match. India has produced good fast bowling talent post Srinath, Prasad, Agarkar era beginning with Zaheer. However, India is yet to learn how to develop fast bowling talent into Great Fast Bowling pairs or better, packs. Also, Indian Domestic Cricket scene is yet to leverage Fast Bowling by producing wickets which respond to good Fast bowling. Domestic scene in India is Batting dominated. The Tennis Ball Cricket is Tennis Ball NOT TAPE BALL. Even there, it is about innovative hitting than bowling at express pace.

Bass kardon pagloon rulaoo ge kya......😂😅😅❤❤

Ajj tak de like vich me vi aa from Indian Punjab

Iss baar "dozakh kay shahzadey" finals mein nahin pahunchay 😅😅😅

The reason they were so hurried in last over is it has started drizzling and they wanted to complete the match but yeah plz carry on with conspiracy

Bhailogs, great pod. Poignant discussion. Loved it throughout

It's not important what Jaddu actually did, since he operated as an empty signifier for India in this WC. Batters could play more freely knowing that he was still in the pavillion, and bowlers could bowl with a bit less pressure knowing that Jaddu could sneak in an over or two.

I finally gathered the courage to watch this after two days. The inevitability ...

Listen, as a pak cricket fan, this is a really bittersweet episode. on one hand, there is ahmer bhai, who has his finger (entire hand maybe) on the pulse of our desi culture. then there is osman bhai, who knows HOW to write about cricket, and who knows what the falooda is pakistani cricket. Usually, a sports team fandom is lucky to have 1 of these guys. We get both of them, at the same time, roughly the same age, doing a podcast during a bleak bleak time for pakistani cricket. its incredibly soul crushing (ok not that much) for me to listen to these 2 speak so passionately about an INDIAN win. dont get me wrong, i am so happy for rohit and co and bumrah for what they have achieved. I am so delighted to see rahul getting his due. And dont get me started on kohli. But it should have been us. Ahmer and Osman should have been taking about Naseems last 2 overs, Saim's career definiing knock in the finals, Rizwan's crazy catch, Babar's on field kaptaani, or Shaheen's early opening spell. But there is nothing, just broken dreams. 2 giants of pakistani culture and cricket talking with so much love about our "professional/emotional/whatever" rivals. So yeah. i will keep returning to batta fast always because its a loving community hosted by these 2. But for once, for once, i want a 1 hour episode, where we are discussing this current lot winning a trophy. Lots of love to india, deserved champions.

Grew up watching Wasim and Waqar, but Bumrah is leap ahead of them, I would say possibly in Test McGrath was tad ahead of Bumrah but not in white ball.

Just see the different angle from fan mobile u will get ur ansers

Love you Usman, Love you Ahmer ❤

Dude , there was no touch of boundary by Surya, check your source again properly, and check the different camera angels specially from side , it's pretty clear , so i request you to please done your homework thoroughly

I am surprised that no one has spoken about Kuldeep's catch to dismiss QDK. I think, in the context of a cricketing moment, his catch was as important. Kuldeep had time to think about the catch, the context, to fret about " shit , what if i drop this?" and that makes the catch harder.

The Question on Naqvi bhai's mind must be, How will the Fascist Regime in India spin Indian Team's success for Hindutva PR 😜🤣

Respectfully, the gap between Bumrah and Akram is a lot narrower than Ahmed Shehzad and Babar. We all say batting is easier now, then by the same token, bowlers had a lot more going for them in Wasim's and Kapil's era . To command the kind of presence that Bumrah does in the 13 rpo , flat tracks, sound bats, small grounds era is legendary...

I also don't think that India was a far superior side. No, Maharaj and Shamsi are equally good spinners. Henrich klassen is the best spin basher in the world. I don't need to comment on Rabada and Nortje, De Kock is best WK batter in the world in last 10 years, Tristan Stubbs is a very good emerging talent, he was fab in the IPL and also scored 300 in FC cricket, he is their Jaiswal/Gill. Miller is off course amazing and so is Markram, Markram has hugely underachieved to his potential, (KL Rahul od SA) and Reeza Hendricks is good player too. The only difference is that India had all rounders in Hardik and Axar and they didn't.

Umpire aur mehnat karta? Ahmer bhai aapse ye umeed nahi thi.....you've got to be kidding me

47:02 Punter had said it last IPL that 85% of times if a team loses 3 wickets in the PP they're not going to win the game. I have been counting these instances and imo it was more like 95% but this game defied POINTING!!! 🇮🇳🚀🔥

huge fan guys. screw the haters/trolls ahmer, deep inside even they know they come here because such honest and perspective-offering (i dont think this phrase works but you get the gist) discourse is missing from general cricketing conversation. loved your entire world cup coverage, especially the afghanistan episode 👌👌

Ahmer khoon ke aansu ro raha hai

Jadeja didn't have good tournament don't think he had bad hairstyle

Only Pakistanis could see the cushion touched his feet, rest of the world has given the order to make the 👓 specs which Pakistanis wear

Wasim vs Bumrah is akin to Nostalgia vs Recency Bias. I just feel like Wasim's peak (possibly assisted by the condition of the ball) was more lethal than Bumrah's peak.

It's such a delight to watch both of you talk about cricket.

Imad wasim is foot nail of jadeja. Jadeja won 2013 champions trophy, no 1 test bowler, no 1 all rounder. These duffer hardly know cricket or maybe they r born after 2020 😂

Jali to hogi thodi si aapki😂😂

Bha Jadeja ka semi final 2019 dekho aur fir bolo.. Jadeja apne prime me catch aur runout se 2 out kar deta tha .. Jadeja is best all rounder

are we seriously talking about Bumrah after a few years of performing vs Wasim ? As an Indian fan of the 90's, this is blasphemous at best.. what is the world coming to

As Osman says, it's hard to compare Bumrah to Wasim simply because latter didn't play nowhere near the T20s. But do think had he then Bumrah would be more valuable because unlike Wasim, he wouldn't give you a pressure release ball.

great podcast, a bit disservice that you guys have so low subscribers, a guess sign of times that any analytical discussion is hard for people to enjoy.. and to all the Indian dudes who were expecting only praise, these guys are more balanced than most Pakistanis on the street.. pls don't look at all analysis with your biased view

Mere bharaa , shehzaade, cheete , wow

Good analysis ! 👌👌🌹

Bhaji assi arshad Nadeem de gold medal nu celebrate kita , tusi sada mazzak udda rahe ho, bahut bura laggeya mainu. Tuhade Pakistani accent vich 😂😂😂😂😂

Ravi jadeja was motm in 2013 ct final, recently david loyd, steve harmisson in their podcast said jadeja is equal with stokes as best test all rounder , t20 hw was not tht good but yes he have the aura for his talents

The greatness of bumrah is unprecedented as he is bowling in the era of batsmen scoring 260 runs in t20s and on the longevity part no bowler can play as long as players of yesteryears just due to the shear no. Of matches and formats. Anyways an awesome episode.

Great analysis. Very balanced. Please ignore hate comments from a lot of indians. Keep it up. Best wishes from India ❤

Bhak salon😂😂😂 Reach ke liye itna bhi mat bolo - wasim is wasim - no comparison Bumrah vs wasim comparison is only relevant once Bumrah hangs up his boots

hum bhi tumhien kuch or naam se bulate hn

40:02 - They have.. 😂 Indian uncles have compared that catch to Kapil Dev's. 41:15 - if that were a 6, it was pretty much a guaranteed win for SA. Miller would have been on the crease and they needed just 10 off of 5. And even Rabada & Maharaj were able to get 8 off the remaining 5. And remember Hardik bowled a full toss. He somehow gets imp wickets, but his bowling wasn't perfect at all. 43:48 - actually he wasn't that close to the boundary. The top angle clearly shows he was pretty far away from the boundary. I can send you screen shots on social media. 48:59 - Indian spinners and bowlers looked ordinary in the 2023 ODI final as well, when aussies smashed them. And against Eng in the semi final when we lost by 10 wickets. (and against Pak too when we lost by 10 wickets). There's something to be said about this

Bumrah is great, keep an eye on these two guys - Karthik Tyagi and Mayank Tyagi. These are your next generational talents, they got the skill, yeah, and they also clock 150 and you guys love pace as well. There are 6-7 150 guys but these 2 are have great wrists and control.

Pair nahi laga tha Usman bhai 😊

Awesome guys, another indian advanced millenial enjoying the discussion and reliving the moments of nostalgia alongside the discussion of the current generation

Thiss usman works for a company and not shy to troll his own employer !!

Ok, the advertisement cushions in cricket grounds are arranged in such a fashion that even a small contact and it is supposed to move. The slight feather that you can see might be due to the air resistance's direction which will be in the opposite direction as the moving object's velocity/momentum (mass*velocity). when you come running at a certain speed, you push the air in your running direction that it turn results in air particles applying force in opposite direction (By virtue of Newton's Third Law). In simple words, if a truck crosses you on road, your shirt flows due to air movement. Similarly when you running, you affect smaller objects around you due to air movement.

Umpire thoda mehnat krta.. This statement reflect your deeper biases.

52:00 India effectively carried 3 players through the tournament ( Dube, Kohli and Jadeja ) and still went unbeaten. I mean the rest of the teams should be ashamed.

Jaspreet bumrah better than Waseem 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 respect for both the legends

26:06 to 26:12 He is blushing like a teenged girl infatuated by Wasim 😅😅😅😅😅

Jadeja primarily plays as a fielder

54:37 Mayank Yadav yes & Abhishek Sharma opening the bat. Watchout for upcoming allrounder Reddy as well.

Cricinfo ka agla naam comments mai bataye

35:00 You blaming SA batters but waha pe bhi Harbhajan Singh ko chhake marke Joginder Sharma se out hona nahi banta tha!! But wo bhi to ho gya.

Karachi Khatmal should classify his humor/jokes as: for Millennials: People of scarcity, telephone booth/pager era & uniform content for Gen Z: People of abundance, internet/mobile/WA/FB era & never ending variety content.

Aap majboor ho hamare cricketers ki tareef karne ke ly. .. Umpire ne puri mehnat ki to see that the catch was legal., apki takleef samjhte hai hum. Social media pe catch ka video available hain jakar dekhe. Har waqt kuch foul play hi dhoondhte rahna.... How pathetic u ppl r.

Another controversial take: Bumrah’s ball to Hendricks was a GREAT ball, no doubt about that, BUT it wasn’t the GOAT level ball at all! Jesa sab portray kar rahay hain!

What's the name of the little cutie cat?

Mayank Yadav. 156.4 KM/Hour

Batta fast ko change krdo..

How's it going

Rip

We used to make fun of bumrah by calling him "kachra" from lagaan movie.

PKMB

Cry more

Bumrah better than Wasim? Lol you're high bud and this is coming from an Indian. Wasim is the greatest period. Wasim, Steyn the best to ever to do.

The toblerone movement has two videos circulating, where there is a movement and another one where there is none. One is edited for sure. Secondary consideration would be air disturbances due to movement around it
