Umran Malik (AFP Photo)Your take on speed gun Umran Malik ..
He (Umran) is a brilliant bowler
You do not get these kinds of fast bowlers quickly
He is young and needs to learn a lot
Speed is great however he offers a lot of space to the players
If you provide room to a batsman, then you will distribute a great deal of runs
Whenever he has bowled wicket to wicket and bowled with accurate line and length, he has got wickets
If you see his statistics, he handed out 40 runs and 50 runs in his spells
So, he needs to work on it
If he begins managing the flow of runs, say 20 runs in 4 overs or 30 runs in 4 overs, he will get more wickets immediately
He is young and I make certain he will be offered a long rope.
