Is Scott Boland the greatest bowler ever? |

[@gagak1557]

Gill was having close to 95% control before he got out to this delivery. He underestimated the nefarious angle which Boland creates

[@JarrodKimberYT]

Yeah, this is a very good point.

[@phillipevans9414]

Scott Boland, for me, is the "Ryan Harris" (whom I rate very highly) of his generation - a bowler whom started modestly at first class level, but gradually, just kept getting better and better, until, late in his career (when he was finally selected for Australia), he had become genuinely "world class". If Boland can play regular tests for Australia over the next couple of years and get to 100 test wickets (like Ryan Harris), he'll have done exceptionally well, and had an excellent career. He has quickly become one of my favorite payers, and I wish him luck for the remainder of his career. Cheers!

[@geoffcameron1138]

Well said - I totally agree with you!

[@prakashmahtani6345]

I agree but one small difference Boland is 100% fit... Ryno bowled on one leg most of his career....

[@francissreckofabian01]

Ironically, he was picked as he was an MCG specialist. His former team mate, Christ Tremain, has more wickets at the MCG at a better average and is 2 years younger than Boland. Tremain may have made an error leaving Victoria when he did.

What great analysis - thanks for sharing Jarrod!

[@lifeoftennis1285]

[@4whomittolz846]

he's come back and dominated the BGT. I clicked on this video thinking it was just clickbait, but you're starting to convince me...

[@Britboy404]

I now feel very privileged to have seen the Boland ball to gill live at the oval

[@anweshchatterjee7595]

Starc Cummins Lyon Boland/Hazlewood is a scarily good attack because of the way everyone complements each other. No other attack in the world has this much variety.

[@criddlegakes2650]

This is what some people don’t understand when they whinge about X bowler not getting a shot. You don’t need the 4 best bowlers in the country, you need the 4 who will work best together. An attack full of identical bowlers would get found out quickly, regardless how good they were individually

[@neilcameron7705]

I've been keeping tabs on Peter Siddle's first class career these past few years. He rarely dominates a batting side, he seems to take every 4th match off to rest, but at the end of the season he has taken a fair amount of wickets at a low average. Pretty good for a player near 40. It'd be great if he got to play one or two more Tests before he retires.

[@benneem]

He certainly won't. Boland, Jyhe Richardson, Neser... Australian fast bowling stocks are going gangbusters and that means Sids will never have an opportunity again.

[@woopimagpie]

Sids was a fantastic workhorse for Australia and he's a great asset to the Adelaide Strikers but his days playing Tests are done. Our fast bowling talent pool is pretty deep.

[@thenelsyshow]

he’s retired from tests

[@sibtainazeem4353]

Boland is undoubtedly one of the greatest. I can’t wait to see him own England in the Ashes

[@mayur5971]

What a great analysis dude 🔥

[@sdpearshaped831]

I think Boland synergises well with this attack and this perhaps benefits him. Being the consistent metronomic bowler in a line up that includes a hit the deck aggressive seamer and a left arm swinger.

[@embersassembling939]

Thank you so much for this proper quality insight. For some reason I tuned into Test Match Special for this day. One of the comms was going on and on about how the Gill and Pujara dismissals were because they were adjusting back to Test cricket after the IPL. I wanted to shout back at them through my phone! 😡😡 The take was particularly horrendous since Pujara was obviously not at IPL, but playing in County Cricket. Surely someone working in cricket in England would know at least that. Thank you Jarrod for making actual insightful analysis that gives us fans gives us fans a deeper understanding of the game.

[@onebigadvocado6376]

If we ever do a Voyager 3 probe, that delivery needs to be on the golden record.

[@tarunrao756]

Love your analysis man ❤

[@royalmint7831]

Scott Boland is a national treasure

[@geoffcameron1138]

Just discovered your channel - great video. Boland isn't the greatest bowler ever, but he's definitely up there and I just love watching him make batsmen uncomfortable. His bent front leg on delivery and metronomic accuracy reminds me of McGrath, his unflappable and modest demeanour reminds me of Stuart Clark, then there's his competitive spirit which reminds me of Pete Siddle. It's like Boland has watched all three and combined elements of them into his own action. I'm really looking forward to watching him bowl in the Ashes in England - I reckon he'll make the Duke ball do amazing things!

[@bartonez123]

Part of his magic is in the bowlers around him. All of them generate a lot of bounce, whilst Boland keeps in much lower.

[@dhirenjena3365]

You r a true cricket analyst 😊😊 Impressive 👍👍

[@WarrenPerso]

I remember commentators talking about how boland was better against left handers a few years ago, but this may have been T20

[@scottmitchell8273]

Goat ! Really !...a lot of time will tell....

[@XaviRonaldo0]

The look on Gil's face just has "what was I supposed to do with that?" all over it.

[@mkeysou812]

Gives some insight as to how guys like Sid Barnes attained their insane averages, maybe they too were freakish and extremely difficult to play.

[@Fuse1990]

The ball to Gill reminds me of Simon Jones to Clarke

[@thatsbollox]

I've finally worked out what he reminds me of....he looks like an exact cross between an Easter Island Statue and a KGB agent. Greatest bowler in the history of the universe and all possible futures in every dimension.

[@angusreynolds7273]

[@jackchapo2011]

Still acknowledging Scott Boland is a brilliant bowler but, how can you speculate on a bowler that has only been bowling at an international level for a very short period as being the best ever?

[@woopimagpie]

I hear what you're saying, but the difference with Boland is how he started. Usually new bowlers flounder a bit and go for runs until they find their mojo and get comfortable. It sometimes takes years for a bowler to settle in to the groove and get consistent at Test level. Shane Warne was hopeless in the beginning. Jimmy Anderson was laughably bad in his first season. Mitchell Johnson was awful for a surprisingly long time and got dropped several times. Wasim Akram was plain dangerous, extreme pace but no control. Even Glenn McGrath wasn't anything special at the start of his career, he only got the gig before he was really ready because all the good guys were injured. But Scott Boland came along and absolutely skittled them straight away. If form guides are anything to go by he will IMPROVE, which seems crazy given how fantastically well he's begun. That's why he's being talked about. He has the potential to be the greatest ever. He really does.

[@DeclansCricketShow]

Great video dude. What software are you using to edit your videos?? I am not much of a computer guy so looking for something easy to add videos and pictures to my videos.

[@woopimagpie]

If Boland gets picked for the upcoming Ashes series it will be interesting to see what happens. He absolutely skittled the Poms last time they played Australia, but that was at the MCG and they were a pretty sad lot - my Grandmother could have gotten a couple of wickets against them. England are a very different prospect now, and are at home where the ball behaviour and conditions are quite different to Australia. Plus the Stokes/McCullum combination is ruthless. The Aussies put on a good show against India but England are the real challenge. Will "bazball" work against the likes of Boland, Starc, Hazelwood, and Cummins? We'll see.

[@thatellipsisguy8984]

[@scottcraze7398]

Aging well this video. Averaging 115 per wicket after 2 tests. (not selected in one other)

[@ketan9106]

Still i am shocked that he is the third choice pacer in the current aussie setup..!! You definitely have to play him ahead of starc/ Hazlewood in the ashes..

[@atorbGk]

If Bumrah was bowling in the WTC final, surely the story would have been different. Each ball is an event when he bowls.

[@TriptiDimri-hg5nf]

When did Rd barman start playing cricket

[@weedtopia4.20]

If Shane Warne played Aussies would of only batted once. Ifs what's where's an why are classic excuses. Aussies smashed the indians

[@atorbGk]

@@weedtopia4.20 The venue was favorably to the Aus. I don't think the Aus can match a full Indian side in the subcontinent. Rohit, Gill, Pujara, Kohli, Rahul, Panth, Axar, Ashwin, Jadeja, Bumrah, Shami. The top 9 guys can bat any day. India and subcontinent favours spin and a sudden match like this on a green track is hard to adjust.

[@sammy_dog]

@@atorbGkyou sound like a sore loser the game not being played in India by a not fully fit side what if's but's why's how's and poor umpiring are all just piss poor excuses the game was played on a neutral ground so it didn't favour any side the umpires were good if anything that pitch favoured the Indians yeah sure it was a green top on a overcast first day but guess who was bowling on said green top NOT AUSTRALIA India wasted their opportunity with the ball when they batted the was batting was poor only save by a good partnership towards the end by day three the pitch was a dry dust bowl more suited to the Indian spinners but you only had one just admit it Australia out played India in all aspects of the game

[@woopimagpie]

Doubtful that Bumrah could make enough of a difference given how much India lost by. Despite supposedly being this powerhouse in world cricket India haven't won a major tournament for over 10 years. Make all the excuses you like, but the truth is India just aren't level headed enough when it really matters. They panic and make rash decisions, they have forgotten how to dig in and be resilient. It's all about emotion and flourish with India, and that has cost them dearly in the big games. I could level the same criticism at Australia's batters, Warner, Labuschane, Smith, and Head are all very showy flashy batters but they can all dig in and craft an innings when the going is tough. Well, maybe not Warner lately, but you get what I'm saying. But the Australian bowlers are a stark contrast (pardon the pun) to India, they're level headed and consistent. Pat Cummins is Mr Even Keel, and Starc just seems like he's mildly amused by everything, he almost never gets riled up. Siraj, on the other hand, acts like he's 2 years old, having tantrums after every ball and snorting and glaring, for all the good it does him. He needs to chill out and concentrate on line and length instead of getting all up in the batters faces. The intimidatory factor doesn't work if you can't actually bowl that well. He could be a truly great bowler if he stops acting like a child and works on it.

[@raydenn6027]

Scott Boland looks pretty innocuous at first sight. However he has the annoying to RH Batsmen of being on ot just outside the off stump and taking wickets with great regularity .😊😊😊

[@thatsbollox]

"Wobbleball" is the Zooter of the seam world.

[@ThereseQuinn-uc1wu]

[@princemahidhar9254]

Gil is blind guy ?

[@yogeshpoonia4577]

Yes

[@ray.shoesmith]

He's an equal option to Hazelwood in the attack tbh, Hazelwood just has the incumbancy and the record. Like McGill and Warne only closer in ability.

[@sn5953]

I'm not saying he is not, but don't come to that conclusion based on his performance against India; such is the reputation of the Indian batsmen that they have got it in them to make a great bowler of even an out-of-form part-time bowler!

[@noelcameron3827]

If you want to compare,try glen McGrath, no comparison at all

[@MrHistorian123]

No. Nowhere near the greatest: he hasn't played enough for that accolade. He's a very good bowler indeed but many players start well until people find them out.

Sorry but thats a bullshit analysis for the sake of an analysis....it was totally the fault of the batsman and no way will Boland say he expected that to be a wicket if he is being honest.

[@peytonscicluna2639]

At the 4:10 mark in the video, the angle you describe and show Boland bowling is deceptive and an inaccurate reflection of what really is going on. Maybe you should watch a game of cricket before you have an opinion on one.

[@stat8053]

Bolund is the greatest

[@avghosh]

How can he be the greatest ever? Mc Grath, Akram, Waqar, Ambrose, Walsh, Warne and Murali are all better.. Our batsmen were pathetic, because of it, he looked better than he is...

He's still not a great bowler. You can see it in his stats starting to go back to being bang average.
