Ashish Nehra brings to the popping-crease most of
the virtues of a classical left-arm fast bowler - pace, accuracy,
subtle variations of line and length, an ability to move the ball
off the wicket and a devastating late inswinger that can harass the
best. He came out of his first full tour - to Zimbabwe in 2000-01 -
with his reputation as one of the most promising new-ball bowlers on
the international circuit vastly enhanced, and his performance at
Bulawayo played a key role in India winning a first Test outside the
subcontinent in 15 years. He struggled to establish himself
thereafter, as inconsistency and injuries saw him slip down the pace
bowling list. The high point of that difficult period came in the
2003 World Cup against England, where he scalped 6-23 and then threw
up by the side of the pitch. Surgery on a troublesome ankle, and an
indifferent tour of Australia followed, but having ceased to be an
automatic pick, he performed creditably in Pakistan. Eminently
capable of slipping in the fast yorker, Nehra at his best is capable
of evoking images of a youthful Wasim Akram
