A fast bowler of growing repute, Umar Gul is the
latest in Pakistan's assembly-line of pace-bowling talent. He had
played just nine first-class matches when called up for national
duty in the wake of Pakistan's poor 2003 World Cup. On the flat
tracks of Sharjah, Gul performed admirably, maintaining excellent
discipline and getting appreciable outswing with the new ball.
However, his biggest moment in his brief international career so far
came in the Lahore Test against India in 2003-04. Unfazed by a
daunting batting line-up, Gul tore through the Indian top order with
his ability to move the ball both ways off the seam at a sharp pace.
His 5 for 31 in the first innings gave Pakistan the early initiative
which they drove home to win the Test and level the series. Gul
isn't in the Shoaib Akhtar category in terms of pace, but his
exceptional control and ability to extract seam movement marks him
out as a bowler who should serve Pakistan cricket for a long time.
