Shoaib Akhtar, the young sensational genuine fast bowler whose pace has disturbed each and every batsman in the whole world. His yorkers are lethal and his in-swingers are very dangerous. I still can't forget the dismissal of Stephen Fleming in the World Cup 99 semi final when he clean bowled him on a super fast, dead accurate yorker, which took his leg stick out of ground. Shoaib has a very short career but this career will definitely be a very sensational one. World Cup 99 was the peak of his career, no doubt.
Abdul Razzaq, the nippy fast medium bowler who comes from no where and takes lots and lots of wickets because of his accuracy. He made his place in the Pakistani team in World Cup 99 and since then he has been a very important member of Pakistani team. He won the man of tournament award in the Carltron & United series in Australia. He is the highest wicket taker in this calendar year.
Azhar Mehmood, another all-rounder who has been an important member of Pakistani team is although not very quick yet he is very effective. He has the ability to bowl some very quick balls which makes him a very dangerous bowler. His performance against South Africa in particular has been very good.
Mohammad Akram, who usually plays as number two to any of the above mentioned players has a reputation of being a lot faster than he looks. Imran Khan, in an article mentioned that he has more than enough talent to be a member of any international cricket squad but its his bad luck ( or good luck) that Pakistan has so many fast bowlers in the team that its very difficult for him to make a position for himself in the team.
Mohammad Zahid whose quick deliveries worried Lara in the 1996 United & Carltron series has recovered from injury but it is yet to perform again at international level. He is a very accurate bowler and comes from a very remote area in Pakistan. His village is quite near to Waqar's village.
