A fast bowler of growing repute, Umar Gul is the latest in Pakistan's assembly-line of pace-bowling talent. Renowned for his change of pace and his destructive swinging Yorker, Gul with 13 scalps was the most successful bowler of the T20 World Cup played in South Africa in 2007. Although he isn't as fast as Shoaib Akhtar, his exceptional control and ability to extract seam movement marks him out.
