He comes across more like a Mohd Sami than a wicket taking bowler. Ball goes fast to the boundary as well. Hopefully, he improves soon.

Express pace bowlers do sometimes leak runs. What works for him also works against him. He gets good bounce from the surface, hence even top edges are flying to the boundary. If we can groom him for Test cricket, he would be an invaluable resource to have on tours away from home.

in the last 2 matches, his pace has been as good as ever, but he has improved a lot. rapid rate of improvement augurs well for future

Kudos to SRH coaches and Kane for trusting him. Umran is lucky that he perhaps has the best captain in IPL who understands fast bowling.
Even GT persisted with Ferguson, while DC was quick to discard Nortje and Nagarkoti after one match.

He is a typical Indian pace bowler who can bowl express pace. By typical I mean brainless, erratic, talentless. He just bowls in fast that's it. Has no sense of line and length. No special skills. Cannot setup a batsman.

Umran Malik is a trash bowler.

Once you're  gifted with pace, you can learn other skills with time and experience , but you cannot learn pace.

Lots of warming in the past also, actually if you walk up close and talk they will say India occupying kashmir etc. So I take all this heart warming with a pinch of salt.

Yea you can learn pace. Nobody puts in enough time and effort needed to build the right physique for fast bowling. 

It is possible to increase pace substantially. It takes time. You need to watch your diet, train adequately, get enough rest (10 hour sleep), do sport specific strength and conditioning etc. 

 

Take a look at a frail guy like bhuvi kumar. Dude used to trundle at 120 when he started. He hit close to 135-143 in his peak. And that's with his frail physique. His weak body I.e. 

 

Problem arises when you don't have the resources to allocate adequate time to build your ideal physique and improve your technical bowling skills simultaneously. In bhuvis case, he dint dedicate enough time to raisw his strength and conditioning level to match his prowess with the ball. 

That's why he suffered and now trundles again. 

 

All fast bowlers who bowl 140 plus or are capable of cranking it above 140 plus consistently have excellent physiques because they dedicated most of their lives to improve their strength and conditioning to sustain such speeds.

He lives in Jammu so he is different from Kashmiris in most ways.  He is from Gujjar community which is one of the good ones out there. 

I know about Kashmiris inside out.  You can easily gauge out how much hate they carry.

you would also see lots of pakistanis supporting him, very close minded folks. Somehow they feel he represents them, remember the 'i am sorry to all muslims ' scumbag, my be he was right and for sania mirza a celebrated Indian athlete to turn up to support him in his games for Pakistan. Special community.

bowled well this match too, especially last 3 overs, even though against the tail. wanindu has a 40+ avg FC avg and can bat.

[vvvslaxman]

Impressive control today. wickets or not. He bowled this in between lengths which can neither be negotiated by stepping out nor by staying in the crease.

"The most frightening moment of my life was when I first bowled to David Warner and Kane Williamson in the SRH nets last year," Umran Malik told The Bridge. "Jonny Bairstow asked me to bowl slower to him at the nets, but I did not understand what he was saying, so I continued bowling fast," he said.
