Whats this

I
I understood 'how do you roar over 50 thousand people' when this all rounder bowled at Brisbane 2006. To me, the best heavy ball bowler in display these days, but highly injury prone. Playing with colour (holi) is not his territory at all!

Hint : Michael Vaughan injured, Trescothick went back home.. England were left with this all rounder to captain England, and he managed to draw the series over India in India, in debut series as skipper. Caribbean World Cup saw another aspect of this bowler, Vaughan criticising him of drinking & making England squad scared of Pedalo. But in all, he's a wonderful cricketer & friends with Ashes challenger Brett Lee.

Options : Andrew Flintoff, Ian Botham, Mark Ealham.


II
Best friend of Sachin Tendulkar, started his International career in even bigger manner, with back-to-back double centuries over England. Who can forget the Eden Gardens 1996 semi-final. The man is on Tv, but mostly sad these days as the picture shows.

Hint : Curtly Ambrose of West Indies didn't came on tour to India, but telephoned Courtney Walsh that his left hander might struggle against short pitch bowling.. which ended his glowing career!

Options Vinod Kambli, Atul Bedade, Amay Khurasiya.


III
With Shoaib Akhtar gones, he's the fastest cricket bowler on earth. bowls from a low angel and looks to hit the stumps all the time or the head of the batsman!

Hint : He plays for Australia. Height 1.93m & was judged 'emerging cricketer of the year 2007'

Options : Brett Lee, Shane Bond, Shaun Tait.



IV
Its not just the picture, but this right hander's cover drives are as soft as any englishman would be proud of. GM bats are proud to have him as sponsored International batsman.

Hint : ODI career seems to be over though. He was the last captain to win an Ashes series for England but failed to do the same in cricket world cup 2007 and consecutively lost his ODI captainship to younger Paul Collingwood. One of the most honest cricketers you'll ever find, with lots of English class. The Yorkshire cricketer also has his official website named after himself, with dot net as extension.

Options : Michael Vaughan, Nasser Hussain, Michael Atherton.



V
Man on the left, in grey shirt, is Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was given the captainship of India when the man on left was most eligible player in the team. Probably the man in red will have his chance of captainship some time later, but shouldn't be tough to identify

Hint : Holds the record of hitting a bowler for 6 sixes in an over at the twenty20 cricket match, Durban. and bowls left arm orthodox which went for 4 consecutive sixes very recently against Dimitri Mascrenhas of England

Hint : Suresh Raina, Dinesh Mongia, Yuvraj Singh.
