Andy Flower also took notice of him:
"I haven't seen http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-James-Harris-c44410. I've seen him bowl once, at Derby against Sri Lanka, where I think he got nine wickets in the match and bowled very well. He bowls outswing, he's got a good bouncer and slower ball and he can bowl for long periods”.

He is a tall bowler, who has the ability to swing the ball, and has the capability to deliver the ball with speed and accuracy.
