While Clarke felt Anderson was phenomenal, he labelled Bumrah a “freak” for his mesmerising exhibition of reverse swing mastery that helped him extract nine wickets in the second Test. From bamboozling Ollie Pope with a lethal reverse-swinging yorker to shattering Ben Stokes’s stumps with a delivery of sheer wizardry, Player of the Match Bumrah was brilliant. “Phenomenal effort, physical, mental and the demands for a fast bowler are more now than ever. James Anderson, with the ball, was phenomenal in the second Test, on a flat batting pitch that did not have much for the fast bowlers. And Bumrah, what can you say! He is a freak. His skill use in conditions that are not conducive to fast-bowling, uff, it’s unbelievable. He is a freak,” Michael Clarke told ESPN Around the Wicket show.
