Though I dont know how well he would do in cricket, bowling. He looks ideal to fill in roles such as Gillespie did.

The bio-mechanics that create the perfect fast bowler, is a very very tricky subject.
What makes you think USA wouldn't have capitalized on bio-machanics? The way they play other sports not only they would have taken advantage of that but also disect opponents weakness and exploit.

These are mere speculations because it didn't happen. I'd like think they would have ruled the world just like WI.
