Just watched a video of this guy’s bowling. He seems a good find.

A good prospect. But these batsmen have absolutely no idea how to play when the ball seams or swings.

He should be tried soon but we have enough left arm fast bowlers (Junaid, Irfan, Amer - available in 2015)

Anwar Ali and Bhatti are ok but need to find a right arm bowler of express pace

Re: Usman Shinwari - more raw talent from Pakistan

not bad at all but very predictive right now as he only has one stock delivery....but he has potential. i wish his natural action was a bit more quick arm at the delivery point ....with this action, he has a big opening at the delivery point and he wont be able to bring the ball back into right handers..

Another bacha Sharjeel Khan from Hydrabad is included in T20 squad. He has impressive record as batsman. I hope he delivers on Int'l level as he has been smashing centuries in domestic and said to have a good timing.

Re: Usman Shinwari - more raw talent from Pakistan

My observations:
1. Only bowls outswing, which is really useful against the left-handers. International quality batsmen will figure him out pretty soon.
2. He has the type of swing that relies on weather conditions: wet heavy air to make the ball move. He likely won't be able to move as much in other conditions.
3. With the amount of swing he gets, it's difficult to get an edge off a right-handed batsman. He should learn to cut the ball off the seam after pitching to induce edges.
4. He looks pretty short for a fast bowler.
5. His run up is very nice and aggressive... an essential trait for a fast bowler.
6. No idea how fast he's bowling but looks around 130k.
7. Needs to learn to swing it both ways to be effective. The last ball did indicate he can bowl inswingers.

Both Usman and Bilawal need to learn yorkers and slow bowls, both kept going short or full which were lolly pops for Lankans on this pitch.

Not impressed with Usman Khan. One good match does not make a bowler.

Way to go before he can be considered the finished product

Just proves that the step up from domestic to international level is pretty big. He needs to go back to domestic and polish his skills
