Like Waqar Younis
a decade before, Zaheer Khan yorked his way
into the collective consciousness of the cricket
world: his performances at the ICC Knockout
Trophy in Kenya in September 2000 announced
the arrival of an all-too-rare star in the Indian
fast-bowling firmament.
He might just as easily have come from the Pakistani
pace stable: well-built, quick and unfazed by
a batsman's reputation, Zaheer can move the
ball both ways off the wicket and swing the
old ball at some pace. With the bat, he is an
asset down the order, using his strength to
good effect to propel the ball over the infield.
