Khalid Usman - Performance Watch

[BunnyRabbit]

Intrigued by this guy's recent performance. A SLAO bowler and a handy lower order bat.

Got an 11 wicket haul recently and has been in good form. His list A performances are pretty good, 133 wickets from 85 matches at an average of 23.
What amazes me is, he has 4 5 wicket hauls in last 5 games across formats.

What he doesn't have is age on his side though as he is already 32.

Does anyone rate him?

 

[Cric1234]

He's one of a couple of older LAO spinners who have decent stats in FC and List A the other being Kashif Bhatti both around 32 not seen them in action wouldn't know if they would do well in International cricket.

 

[ManFan]

If it’s a spinner and he’s 30+ then there is no point.

They become a liability with the bat, ball, and in the field.

Not to mention, cancerous leeches trying to sabatoge the youth to make up for their own lost time.

That's not their fault is it selections don't always be on merit Shadab plays all formats after not doing much in FC cricket in the past Zulfiqar Rehman and now Yasir have played all formats without doing well in List A and T20 basically for spinners selection in one format seems to guarantee a run in other formats aswell.
Fitness is an issue no matter what age they are players should strive to be in the best shape possible.

Report of PCB:

The only notable resistance came from Kamran Ghulam and captain Khalid Usman, as both scored half-centuries.

Kamran, the 25-year-old right-handed batsman, registered his ninth half-century with the team’s top score of 67, which included nine fours. This was his third half-century in the ongoing season.

Khalid, fresh from an unbeaten 92 not out, which played a crucial role in his team’s resurgence and an eventual victory in their last round match against Central Punjab, smashed 10 fours and a six in his 59 not out off 82 balls.

[b.lesner]

Seen him for a long time now and what i have seen is that his batting technique is even better than some Pakistan test players, only if he improved his bowling could be handy.
