Bowling was obviously much better. matched

Razaula from nowhere, we've produced another gem. matched

Uh let's hope that uh he maintains his fitness because there've been so many fast bowlers that have come through the ranks at times from nowhere, have done well for a season and then they've subsided. matched

So uh matched

Um there's a lot to l like about uh his bowling, his spirit. matched

Uh you know, that uh that slinging action. matched

I think he can bowl uh a good reverse uh bowling spell as well. matched

And he's got pace um and lot to like about what he delivers. matched

I mean that's the process that you know, we have followed generally. matched

Um uh you know, the structure doesn't always provide you with lot of uh hope but from nowhere because it's such a vast area Pakistan and so you you get cricket being played in in Balochistan, in in uh and m Khaber Pachtuncha elsewhere also that you know one would find his way through muscle his way through the um the matched

the process and and produce something like this. matched

Uh and so we've been lucky. matched

But I think you've got to matched

call it selection faux pas really to not include somebody like him. matched

Because he's been in the circuit for a year at least. matched

He's played a lot of white ball cricket. matched

But to not nominate him for England to a considering that it was always going to be a one dimensional Mohammed Abbas medium paced led bowling attack, uh was just madness I think. matched

I mean yeah, I mean um there's a lot to like about his his slinging action and I just hope that you know he produces that reverse swing spell also maybe uh in in suitable conditions back home in in Asia. matched

Uh but yeah I mean he's got the speed, it's got that natural length which is up to the batsman, he doesn't have a lethal bouncer, he's not I mean, you know, with that slinging action it's not going to get that awkward. matched

So his best bet is to bowl within the stumps and look to bowl that Yoker or that reverse swing, you know, if the ball gets older. matched
