Superstars in the making – an insight on young players making their mark in Cricket
Players come and go in cricket, but only a few are able to create a legacy that is remembered for ages. Every great player starts from the bottom of the table and eventually makes his way to the top before fading in the abyss.
In the following article, we take a sneak peak at some young players making their mark in the game of cricket.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vernon-Philander-c2753, the South African cricketer, is one name that is in the limelight for his splendid performances. The 26-year-old pacer has had a dream start to his cricketing career. The speedster looks so matured for someone
who has just featured in six Test matches.
Philander, who decimates oppositions whenever he gets the ball in his hand, is fast becoming the strike bowler of an attack that comprises of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528. The pacer already has five five-wicket and two four hauls
to his name and if he continues on the same path, there are no limits to the heights he may reach.
Another player making headlines these days is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737. The 23-year-old has been inspiring everyone with his composure and his ability to singlehandedly win matches for India.
Kohli, in recent times, has even outplayed the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229. The 23-year-old right-handed batsman is deemed for supremacy by many Indian greats. Some pundits believe that if someone is ever going to
break Sachin’s records it would be Kohli. However, it is too early to judge the youngster but there is no denying the talent at his disposal.
From India to their arch rivals Pakistan, we look at two batsmen, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s batting. The two batters are miles apart in their approach. Azhar is technically sounder than Akmal;
however, the later is better suited to limited over cricket because of his flashy batting and is quite agile in the field.
Azhar has the ability to play long innings and is ranked 12th in International Cricket Council's Test rankings for batsmen. The batsman can also be of utility in the 50-over game, but needs the backing of selectors,
who need to be patient with him while he overcomes the early jitters.
Akmal, on the other hand, should put some price on his wicket as on numerous occasions the belligerent batsman has squandered his wicket after doing the hard work.
Pakistan needs to nurture the two batsmen and keep them as away from controversies as possible, as they have what it takes to last in the game. If no attention is paid to them, they may end up like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Nazir-c64248,
who after a glorious start to their career are now lost in the bewilderness.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566, 22-year-old bowler from Watford, will certainly play a key role in their campaign.
The gangly pacer is not a regular in England’s starting XI but he is England’s first choice replacement if anything happens to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705. Whenever a chance has come Finn’s way, he has made the most out of it.
With the kind of performance he has been putting up, it’s only a matter of time before he registers a permanent place in the line-up.
