Damien Martyn was excellent. He had stitched wonderful partnerships for Australia when they needed them desperately.
Heath streak was probably the ONLY GOOD fast bowler from Zimbabwe.
Arvinda should have been right at the top man .. Makhaya Ntini was excellent. He just lost some form recently .. But he was an awesome bowler. His fitness level has been excellent. Shoaib Akthar ?? Was shocked to see his name missing. He should be there right at the top. Bret lee is as fast, but for pakistan Shoaib has turned the match in just 3 or 4 overs. He was excellent.
Frankly speaking .. Aamir sohail was a greater impact player than Saeed Anwar.
may be i forgot sohail after his commentary stint..
shoaib may have created an impact, but wen u put it along with cairns, vaas, mark waugh then shoaib doesn't feature in that league..
nos. are not ranks..
