Why Bumrah's Captaincy Matters | Statistical & Historical Analysis of 1 of the Oldest Cricket Belief

14
that how many pure bowlers have become captains in the history of cricket
14
& now when Bumrah's captaincy has also started a whole lot of controversy
we need to revist this idea that fast bowlers or even bowlers for that matter can't become captains
so as we look into the statistical angle of the trends behind this decision and the historical significance behind this
the difference the captaincy of pat Cummins - the Australian captain has made
ANd the various reasons why bowlers have been kept away from captaincy
from feild setting issues to selfsh nature to even the fact that batsman are more in the team
we seem to have completely side steeped the actual qualiteis that yo require in a captain
leaadership
cricketing IQ
but all that has been pshed aside
tp the pont
that Umrah - who is the eiptome of a hard working - ever evolving stalwart of India
who spearheading the indian pace attck has consistently brought applauds for india
through sheer grit and perseverance
From comparisions to virat kohli to angles of coach Rahul dravid
from the litany of ndian captains in the past
from venkatraghvan to kumble
we try to understand
why exactly does BUmrah's captaincy matters.

[@Ashyboy170]

Pat Cummins as captain was revolutionary. Australia won the WTC and World Cup against the formidable team that India had. Now he's the 2nd highest bid in the Auction. I wouldn't be surprised if he's made captain for SRH for IPL 2024.

[@a_heralictus5867]

Lasith Malinga (fast bowler) was the T20 World Cup winning captain back in 2014. And that was the major tournament win for Sri Lanka since 2002. I personally think having a bowler as a captain isn't gonna effect the team in a bad way, specially since it's a sport based on teamwork.

it's always better to have a batsman or wicketkeeper as captain, coz most of the captaincy decisions are made while fielding. a bowler can't have additional stress on him while bowling. this is logic

Yes, unfortunately batting is considered as a greater privilege compared to bowling. It's in the mindset. While, i understand especially in test cricket, there are more challenges for a bowler to captain than a batsmen, any good skilled bowler and knowledgeable and tactically sound can bring in different angle to leadership.

Bumrah is our bowling legend

[@gsnksojwnw]

If a batsman screws up, the team can rectify. but if a bowler screws up, it is hard to come back. Imagine this, 15 runs required in the last over. Captain has an over left but is doing badly, one more bowler has overs left, but was doing well. Can you rely on the bowlers to be objective and not to go for glory? You can say that about batsmen too, but batters have a chance to change the strike in middle of the over, but bowlers can't.

[@Victor_Trumper]

Well that's a very lame argument.... Many batters have sacrificed their spot for their team... The most prominent one being ganguly, he sacrificed his spot for sehwag. Once one becomes captain, they tend to put their team's result first. So you are saying bowlers don't have impulse control? All they care is glory. That's messed up. Just blatantly wrong.

[@gsnksojwnw]

@@Victor_Trumper no, I'm saying if a bowler goes for glory, it's an entire over. When a batter does it, he can salvage it to an extent. I'm not saying they will, but if a bowler loses objectivity, it'll be much more painful than if a batter does

[@illzn06]

Good content, keep it up! Few Corrections though: 1) 90 kmph is the speed at which Ashwin bowls and "All the way up to 140" means 140 is his top speed. His registered top speed is 153 and generally bowls in 135-145 range. 2) Bowlers is pronounced as "Bowl-ers", not "Ball-ers"

[@phantom_psyche]

its not 153 its 153.26kph and its pronounced more like boh.luhz and not bowl-ers just a minor correction keep up the good spoting

[@ankitmallarh]

@@phantom_psyche Maybe, you are very young but when you go to Class V, you will learn the concept of rounding off, where you'll learn that 153.26 could be rounded off to 153.3 or 153. Also, the "r" in bowler is not silent, so your correction was incorrect. Don't trust me, pls check the internet. Lastly, it's spotting, not spoting.

[@Satyakam85]

there's probably a reason why batters are made captains. The chance/risk of injury to a bowler is higher and especially if you are fast bowler it goes a few notches up. That may derail the functioning of the team. Especially in modern times where workload mgt has become so much more critical for fast bowlers

[@drsourabmd]

One of the important argument i would like to put forward is that bowlers and especially fast bowlers are more frequently and injured and need rest often . So having captain with periodic change is disastrous

[@vgg2009]

And as captain, he broke the batting record for the most runs scored in an over. Ironically.

[@memeexams11]

Bowling captains can make the field positions more favourable for wicket taking, while allowing to concede more runs. Batting captains aim for weakness in batters or to set field for the opponent batters. So, there's a balance in wickets and runs conceded.

IMO cricket in india(and maybe around the world) has always been about Runs, sixes, fours, centuries When a batsman hits a six, it's a spectacle, people cheer and clap When a bowler bowls a dot ball, it's overlooked For some reason bowling and fielding have never been appreciated enough in cricket throughout history Batsmen have always been the face of teams and cricket itself I believe This is also part that lead to batsmen usually being captains And i think it caught on from the upper-class and lower-class explanation you gave But things are changing now I suppose

100% cricket is rigged towards batting.... Like a century which is more common than a 5 Wicket is celebrated and remembered more... Man of match lists...etc.. But when it comes to captainship regular availability is a valid reasoning along with couple of reasons you listed... That's why the previous mindset that bowlers should not be captain is not relevant in today's time.... A fast bowler may not be in playing 11 where track favours spin or vice versa but some batsman are sure in playing 11. Bumrah was consistent part of playing 11 hence desicion was made... Anil kumble etc... Also bowlers have shorter career span than batsman (in general) thus changing captain every now and then is also not a suggestive option.
