Notes : NBC Denis Compton Award 2000
In December 2002, when England had lost the Ashes
for the eighth series in a row and the onus was on finding new
blood, the last thing the team needed was another poseur.
Fortunately, Kabir Ali - Worcestershire seam bowler and part-time
male model - leaves his pouting well behind when he sets foot on a
cricket pitch. One of the 50 most eligible bachelors in Britain
(according to Asian Woman & Bride magazine), Kabir bowls with
strength and stamina, and hits the bat hard from just short of a
length, albeit with a somewhat low-slung action. At a time when
England fast bowlers were dropping like flies in Australia in
2002-03, Kabir's single-minded approach at the Adelaide Academy won
him many friends - and promotion to the one-day squad. He made his
debut the following summer, although he was not an instant success.
His ODI bow was washed out before he had taken the field, while his
solitary Test ended in a dispiriting defeat at Headingley, but
England did not forget, and after earning a recall for the Champions
Trophy in 2004, he went on to be one of England's few successes in a
4-1 series defeat in South Africa. He was the leading wicket-taker
with 13 scalps, and overcame his jitters - and a no-ball that went
for four - to secure a thrilling tie in the final over at
Bloemfontein
