Umar Gul (-worma)

Osman Samiuddin profiles Umar Gul, who first played with a real cricket ball when he was 16, and three years later, was picking up Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Parthiv Patel in a single spell. An 'arrival' more blockbuster-ish than the famous Shoaib twin-strike in Kolkata (in the '99 tour). A must-read.
