Jofra and Jasprit, the speed guns without speed breakers destined to make cricket great again
England's foremost cricket pundit Nasser Hussain thinks Jofra Archer should sit out the Edgbaston Test but train with the team – bowling at nets, jogging during breaks, getting his body Test match ready. Last Sunday, Archer, England's very own Jasprit Bumrah, played a first-class game after 1,500 days. Finally, fit to play the longer format, he bowled 18 overs for Sussex and got a wicket. If you are a 150kph bowler with a sparkling red-ball history that was enough to get a Test recall. But Hussain advises caution, he wants Archer to press restart at Lord's, ironically the Test Bumrah is expected to return to, after his likely miss of the second Test that starts on July 2. At the Home of Cricket, the two diehard Test cricket lovers will terrorise batsmen and for once the lopsided bat-versus-ball contest will be even. Bumrah and Jofra have lost out a lot because of their passion and commitment towards Tests. They could have taken the easy way out, like many of their contemporaries who just focused on white-ball cricket, cut down on workload and earned a lot. But they haven't. Jofra sacrificed money, Bumrah the captaincy. When Jofra was recalled, BBC spoke to his close friend Saqib Mahmood. The two had roomed when they were dealing with similar injuries. 'With Jof the easiest thing for him to have done is just gone purely white ball. He'd have been financially better off and had all of that. But I could always tell he wanted to play Test cricket. I just knew it,' Mahmood said. During the Headingley Test where he took five wickets, Bumrah, at a press conference, expressed his angst when asked about the constant speculation about his injury-ridden future. It's where India's MVP, a captaincy candidate till as recently as the Border Gavaskar Trophy at the end of last year, dropped a line that was about his regret at not being able to be India's long-term captain. It was a rare slip by the guarded professional who weighs every word he utters in public and even maintains a happy expression and positive tone when talking about 'dropped catches.' 'Mann tha, karna bhi tha, but Indian cricket se upar kuch nahi hai. (I wanted it and could do it but there is nothing bigger than Indian cricket),' he said, explaining how the high probability of missing games due to his workload saw him step back. He said it wouldn't be fair to the team, if they can't play all the Tests as it would impact continuity. Can we declare Jasprit Bumrah a national treasure already? 😅 #SonySportsNetwork #GroundTumharaJeetHamari #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) June 22, 2025 Fast bowlers, the ones putting their body on the line to pursue real speed, are a different breed. Always risking career-threatening injury, they are known to live on the edge. They are cricket's fighter jocks, the proud men who walk around the dressing room with a swagger. The team's popular stars, the batsmen keep a distance from them, but they know their importance. In contrast, the pacers mock the team's star batsmen, they are to them what boyband artists are to hardened rock stars. Even when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were in the team, no one fooled around with Bumrah. Jofra's mate Mahmood says there are a few no-go areas for him too. While the two trained, they would keep comparing his calf muscles. Jofra would have a retort that only those in 'Club 150' could possibly offer with a comeback line. 'What's the fastest you have bowled?' In a game in the early part of IPL, Jofra, turning up for Rajasthan Royals, took a serious beating. Against SunRisers Hyderabad, he went for 76 in four overs. It proved to be the most expensive IPL spell. Ishan Kishan and Travis Head were responsible for the nightmarish figures. 90 seconds of Jofra Archer being absolutely RAPID 🔥 Happy birthday, @jofraarcher 🎂 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) April 1, 2024 RR coach, the Kiwi speedster Shane Bond, saw how the game impacted Jofra. 'There's no doubt he was hurting a bit. I think that's a credit to how quickly he bounced back. He got back to the training ground, trained brilliantly, was really focused and knew what he wanted to do and had to do,' Bond told the BBC. By the end of the season, that spell was forgotten as Archer ended with 11 wickets. Bumrah too doesn't take injudicious batting adventurism kindly. In the 2024-25 BGT, the young Aussie opener Sam Konstas, their Ishan Kishan, riled Bumrah with his batting bravado. By the end of the tour, the Aussies were rethinking their opening options. The uncertainty over the fitness, and at times even about their pace, has resulted in the two getting targeted by fans. There was a time when it was said that Bumrah would miss India games because of his health but would get magically match-fit during IPL. Jofra too faced taunts during his long recovery and rehabilitation when ECB stood by him. There were comments that Jofra was on the longest paid holiday. Though, used to such sly sledges, there comes a point when it hurts. 'You try to not let it get to you but you can ignore 100 of them but sometimes that 101st is the straw that breaks the camel's back,' he once said. But Jofra would take criticism as motivation. Something that even Bumrah too is good at. Though the pacer now has legions of fans and is considered the team's rare match winner, his every injury coincides with some doomsday prediction. Bumrah, the other day, laughed at the regularity with which he gets written off. 'Everybody is free to write whatever they want. It doesn't matter to me. If those thoughts come into my mind, I will start believing it. I get dictated by what I believe in,' he says. 'I have played cricket on my belief since people have said 'no' to me all my life. First they said you wouldn't be able to play, next they said you will play for 6 months, after 8 months … now I have finished 10 years of international cricket.' And then he would get philosophical, he talks about barkat – the divine favour. 'I prepare the best I can and after that I leave it to the almighty. My barkat will decide how much I play,' he said. Here's hoping Lord's extends divine favour to the two men working towards making Tests great again.

Jasprit Bumrah dragged into awkward Prasidh Krishna comparison after India quick's costly figures vs England
Former India bowler Irfan Pathan wasn't too pleased with Prasidh Krishna's outing in the first Test against England in Leeds. Prasidh gave India the opening breakthrough after a long wait in the second innings when he dismissed Zak Crawley after an 188-run stand, and also ignited hopes by dismissing Ollie Pope cheaply. However, the tall pacer leaked runs, conceding at 6.10 runs/over throughout his 15 overs. Prasidh was expensive in the first over too, conceding over 6 rpo in 20 overs, albeit with three wickets to his name. India's Jasprit Bumrah celebrates with teammates after taking the wicket of England's Zak Crawley, catch taken by Karun Nair(Action Images via Reuters) Talking about his performance in the game, Pathan pointed out that Jasprit Bumrah has a better economy rate in T20s than Prasidh had in the Headingley Test. "Just look at his economy combining both the innings. He is at No. 2 in terms of the worst economy for a fast bowler in history. Bumrah has this economy in T20s, nearly 6.50. So he will have to concentrate on his economy. He has good height and pace. He will have to learn as soon as possible how to bowl a consistent area according to the batter," Pathan said on Sony Sports Network. Prasidh was unsurprisingly the most expensive pacer in the match, although Gautam Gambhir, the Indian head coach, had words of encouragement for him in the post-match press conference. He felt that Prasidh, who got five wickets in the match, has 'all the ingredients of becoming a very good Test match bowler.' Bumrah, meanwhile, was India's lone warrior for much of England's first innings with the bat, as he picked up a five-wicket haul. To make matters worse, India endured sloppy fielding efforts all through the Test, with Bumrah alone missing out on three chances to get early wickets in the first innings. Next Test from July 2 Shubman Gill's India will regroup on July 2 for the second Test at Edgbaston, but major concerns loom over the bowling unit, particularly Jasprit Bumrah's availability. Gambhir reaffirmed after the Headingley defeat that Bumrah would not feature in more than three Tests this series, casting immediate doubt on his inclusion for the next match. If Bumrah is rested, India's pace attack will look severely undercooked. Mohammed Siraj, who was erratic in the first Test, would likely be asked to spearhead a unit lacking both experience and consistency, a worrying prospect for a side already battling cracks in its bowling discipline.

'1 minute mei 3 baal daal sakta hai kya?': Rishabh Pant challenges Mohammed Siraj, pacer fumes at Zak Crawley after failing challenge
Mohammed Siraj And Rishabh Pant New Delhi: In the first session of Day 5 of the Headingley Test, there was a lot of drama (over) in the last over. When Mohammed Siraj took over, Rishabh Pant told the pacer to bowl three balls within a minute. When Siraj failed to thrash the challenge though, he lost his temper and became defensive against the English batsman. It may be curious to know what then did take place. In fact, there were few minutes left to the finish of the first session (approximately a minute). Siraj had bowled three deliveries so far in the over, now there were three left. Pant wanted Siraj to hurry-up with his over so that Bumrah could start with the last over of the session to give better opportunity of getting a breakthrough just before the lunch break. In this regard, Pant issued a challenge to Siraj and told him to face the last three deliveries of the first ball in one full minute. Zak Crawley however threw the plan off track and Siraj did not finish the challenge. Rishabh Pant challenged DSP Siraj to bowl three balls within one minute and the latter failed. Siraj was angry at the failure of the challenge and so he also berated England batter Zak Crawley because the latter was the cause of not meeting the deadline. Primetime ft. Rishabh Pant! #SonySportsNetwork #GroundTumharaJeetHamari #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings | @RishabhPant17 — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) June 24, 2025 Challenge unfinished, DSP Siraj loses his cool Siraj was also rushing through his run up in an attempt to deliver three balls in one minute. But, as he prepared to finish the over, Zak Crawley suspiciously withdrew towards the crease on seeing something in motion somewhere at the sightscreen, which he feared might distract him as he turned to confront the ball. This audacious action by Crawley got Siraj angry and he began to exchange few words with the England batter in anger. Siraj didn't spare the other batter either Siraj was also involved in a fiery tussle with Ben Duckett at the other crease after he lashed his frustration on Zak Crawley. After Siraj's over was finished, the umpire declared time off the session and the lunch was announced. Siraj was seen enraged at Crawley with his time wasting tendency as it was considered to have cost India a win just before halftime.
