He is a unique bowler kind of, who is good in the 50 overs format, while leaks a lot of runs in T20 cricket. Is there any other bowler who excels in 50 overs format and flops in T20 cricket, or vice versa?
 
What about test is he a bust or just average?
 
He's not boom in any format.

Sorry to disappoint!
 
He's not quick enough, only gets to mid 140's when he puts in a real effort ball. That means when the slog is on, he is prone to getting clobbered.
 
Over over rated... he’s never been boom, he’s more like ‘tick tick BUST’

I would disagree its a big boom than just barely tick,tick,tick
he is very inconsistent he does a very good job like taking 5 wickets in a couple of overs and than just average or below par
but in t 20s not good enough
 
Please remove the shades you are wearing, give credit where it is due, he has been terrific in the ODI format.

Terrific? So what do you call Shaheen then?

Need to tone it down a bit.

Been average in ODIs, terrible in PSL/T20s.
 
when he finally gets some wicket is called a no ball. He comes off as a serial no baller on crucial moments. Not a reliable bowler to have especially in limited overs formats.

Check his ODI bowling average, if that is average then I don't know what is good.
 
Weird bowler.

His good days are awesome, his bad days are truly atrocious.
 
He's not a reliable player. Some days he will be good and some days he will be thrashed everywhere. The problem is you have to select him on a gut feeling. Because even if he has a good performance there is no guarantee he will back it up.

This saw him bowling once in a while useful in a random match and nothing more. Got no control over his no balls and there is simply no line and length runs in and throws the ball.

bottler of the highest order, his good days are usually against weak teams or in random games (in internationals at least)
 
Boom in what sense? He isn’t good enough to be considered for Pakistan in ODI or T20i anymore.

He’s way down the pecking order now.
 
based on todays performance ..... i would not touch him with a 10 meter pole....

shanwari has been the worst bowler in the last 5 years in PSL .... even anwar ali and rahat ali are better than him

Lahore Qalandars should sue Aqib Javiad for every penney they have paid him ... the abs worse waste of a human being ...

He was good in ODI series against Srl the last played by Pak and he took a fifer in the 2nd match. Also I think since 2017-18 he has the most man of the match awards for Pak in ODIs amongst Pakistani pacers, I guess Shaheen has close to him or maybe more I am not sure. He averages 18 and also was the best bowler against Aus in UAE.

I am not a big fan of his but in ODIs he has been decent till now.
 
He actually came back in the Pak team based upon his performances in PSL 2017 where he was nailing the yorkers and got a chance in Pak T20 team. After debuting in ODIs his game is now totally dependent upon length bowling, with slight length variations which doesnt work in T20s.

He either needs to start producing his 2017 yorkers again or slower balls in between or he will be struggling in T20s.
 
I have never come across a bowler with such low intelligence. He makes M Sami look like Einstein.
 
Surprised by his T20 performance given how good he has been in ODI's.

He has gone over 6.5rpo only once in ODI's, but that seems to happen in almost every T20 game he plays in

He’s way down the pecking order now.

In ODI's:

-34 wickets in 17 matches with average of 18
-Econ rate under 5
-Has only gone over 6.5rpo once in his ODI career (and he only bowled 4 overs that match)
-Has 10 wickets in his last 3 ODIs, including a 5 wicket game vs Australia and a 4 wicket game vs SL

Fact is he has always performed in ODIs, ALWAYS. I'm quite surprised at how bad he has been in the PSL
 
At this point he's a spray gun who can sometimes have brilliant periods but can be all over the place equally often. Without a doubt Pakistan have mismanaged him by bringing him in and then kicking him out of the setup constantly over the last couple of years and it seems he hasn't made any improvement in that time.

Shinwari clearly has international potential but for the time being i think he needs to be left in domestics with a clear message, work on becoming consistent and you've got a shot at returning.
 
He is really bad at the death, he can't nail yorkers anymore and he bowled way too short to Musa.
 
He always looks mediocre but has a knack of taking wickets in bunches, has done it a few times in ODIs.

I personally am not a big fan, but he can be a support bowler in ODIs when needed. Keep him away from t20.
 
Proper minnow basher.

He’s failed against every decent side he’s played thus far, regardless of the format.
 
He got picked for the big bash initially so he's obviously thought highly of
He lost the game because he doesn't know how to bowl to tailenders and that's obviously something wrong with lahores coaches
 
Usman has been Pakistan's best bowler in ODIs since CT17 and he's performed everywhere. Him being a mediocre T20 bowler doesn't mean you take away his ODI performances.
 
Honestly speaking, he does not do anything with the ball. Just runs in like a headless chicken and bowls without thinking what length or line should he be bowling. I have never rated this guy and he is not giving me any reason to like him as a bowler.
 
He doesnt know when to bowl fast and when not. Bowls hit me length in last overs with no yorkers shows he is brainless

A bowler who needs coaches to tell him how to bowl to tailenders should maybe join the kids training sessions.
 
Very very poor when under pressure. He loses the plot when the batsmen go after him. He just runs in faster and tries to blast his way through the batsman without putting any thought behind his line or length.

I've always said this about Shinwari - he is extremely unreliable and can cost you a game single-handedly.
 
UKS has probably the lowest bowing IQ I’ve ever seen.

You’re bowing at the last batsman, a tail-ender, in the last over, with 9 to defend and you bowl length repeatably?

Im pretty sure he's favourite players to bowl at are not tailenders
He's normally quite good in the 19th and 20th overs
