Profile:
Taciturn and not given to
emotional displays of exuberance, lanky Adul Razzaq is generally
acknowledged by experts to possess all the makings of a genuine
world-class all-rounder. His composure, his calm and collected
manner, whatever the situation, clearly marks him out as a
natural, both with the bat and the ball. When he lays into the
bowling it is with a controlled, coolly calculated power,
executing his flowing strokes with a straight bat and sound
technique. It is a measure of his immense talent that he is even
deemed competent to bat at the one-down slot, although his usual
place is much lower down the order. He is a man for all seasons. He
can go for the big shots straightaway, or patiently graft his
innings with shrewd singles and twos. But his real work for his
side lies in his penetrative fast howling. He can swerve the ball
both ways, has a fine yorker and can bowl a deceptive slower ball.
He has mastered the intricacies of reverse swinging the old ball
at this relatively young age, although like other Pakistani
bowlers, he can occasionally be wayward in line and length. |
