How good is Bumrah?

Out of those two groups I would change the first tier by swapping out Rabada and Waqar for Wasim and Donald. Picking three out of them for a dream side I’d go for McGrath, Wasim and Steyn . Bit of everything for any batter there.
 

So where does he rank?

Pick 3 quicks from your lifetime for a dream side. Is he there?
He’s in my top 3
Steyn
Jimmy
And him

Not saying they are the greatest three of all time but three I’ve seen a lot of and loved watching them.

I can see why people think he chucks the ball though his style is very very different and his hypermobility gives him an advantage in this one

Rabada is an interesting one. I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves

422 wickets at sub 22 and I think he has the best strike rate in history
 
Anderson obviously has longevity on his side, but let’s be honest there’s no way he’s as good a bowler as Bumrah.
But longevity is part of the skill of a fast bowler,
Being able to do something over and over and over again metronome like is just as skillful if not more so than bowling 90 mph.

Jimmy Anderson’s skill level is beyond most other seam bowlers to have played the game.
