Tall, attacking and naturally athletic, Mark
Vermeulen was drafted into the Zimbabwe team for the second Test
against Pakistan in November 2002, at the expense of Guy Whittall.
At his most comfortable against pace bowling, Vermeulen is a
back-foot player by inclination, particularly strong on the cut,
pull and hook shots, although he is also a sweet timer of the ball
through the covers. A former captain of Zimbabwe's Under-19 team,
Vermeulen has a desire to succeed that has occasionally spilled over
into petulance. In 1996 he was banned from representing his school,
Prince Edward High in Harare, for uprooting his stumps after
receiving a poor lbw decision, and that was a sign of things to
come. He was sent home during the second Test of the 2003 England
tour when, after becoming only the 13th man in Test history to
record a pair on the same day of a match, ignored a management
instruction to travel with the rest of the squad on the coach,
instead choosing to leave the ground on his own. On the pitch he has
made a few decent scores in one-day internationals and played three
matches in the 2003 World Cup. He is an excellent slip fielder, an
occasional offbreak bowler, and a former national junior javelin
champion |
