He doesn't look like somebody that should be averaging under 18 with the ball in FC cricket

Doesn't look quick, action seems incomplete, but he clearly causing issues with the regional bats

What i missing, wobble seam?

AliMohammed might be doing well because many regional batters don't play swing bowling well and many are poor at their game. but it is surprising how much success he is having as he does not appear to be quick.

Ali Mo is very accurate, patient, and moves the ball around. All elements that make him lethal to regional batsman.

He's the slower version of Keemo... moves the red cherry at will but with less pace.

Not bad with the bat too... plus it's not like he's unknown. He played a world cup with the WI U19.

It's good to see that he's finally taking his cricket seriously again.. looks a lot fitter these days.

He is nothing great from what I watch so far.

Let's see what happens next season.
From what I see, he should not be getting those wickets.
Poor batting technique maybe a big contributing factor.

I'm just calling a spade a spade.
I'm not ready to big him up from what I watched so far.
Also he has a strange bowling action.

That said; congrats to the young man.

Agreed

He looks wrong footed at times, which can confuse the bats especially with his accuracy

I hope he can make the adjustments to take his game to another level
Keemo faced the issue of the step up of international cricket

Not true.
Kemo Paul adjusted well, but had too many serious injuries.

Injuries robbed Windies of many possible very/great performers.
To name a few:
Obviousle Paul
Cory Collymore ( who was tear away before back injury)
Pedro Collins (injury that he hid, but I knew him personally, when he got back fit, he declined selection due to a Kolpak deal))
Cucaracha (2 separate serious injuries which cut his speed)
Ian Bishop (2 separate back stress fractures)
Malcolm Marshall (back injuries hampered him)
Roger Harper (better bowler before injury)

I am sure that I am missing many more.

Not everything about sport is about support

This kind of engagement is just as important as supporting the player

He's the slower version of Keemo.
So he's even worse than Kemo?

I remember the injury.
When he recovered, unfortunately RSA came calling.
