$\He (Bumrah) is the real X-factor - 28 wickets in six Tests. I have seen him in the IPL. He has that unorthodox action, a stuttery run-up, a weird run-up but I think for batsmen you dont get a real good sight of the ball but he has got pace and bounce and has a great yorker that I think he will utilise particularly against the tail,\ Damien Fleming told Sydney Morning Herald.

Fleming was also all praise for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, whom he compared to England great James Anderson.
