Justin Langer praised Bumrah
Justin Langer said, ‘I don’t like facing Bumrah at all. He is like Wasim Akram. For me, it is Wasim Akram who bowls right-handed and whenever I am asked ‘Who is the best bowler I have ever faced in my game,’ I say, Wasim Akram ‘

Justin Langer further said, ‘Wasim Akram’s bowling speed is good. Great bowlers like him have the specialty of bowling on the same line length. Besides, he is also adept at throwing the ball. The way Akram used to bowl, he used his fingers brilliantly on the ball and Bumrah also does something similar. Like Akram, his ball can also go in any direction. Facing Akram’s bowling was a nightmare for me and the same happens with Bumrah.
If Bumrah remains fit then Australian batsmen will face more problems.
Talking about Bumrah, Langer said, ‘I don’t like facing Bumrah. He is a good competitor. He bowls fast and it is amazing. I had said at the beginning of the series that if Bumrah is fit then it will be very difficult for the Australian batsmen, if he is not fit then I think Australia will easily win the series.
