Abdul Razzaq
Wisden CricInfo staff - July 6, 2001

Wisden overview
The most complete Pakistani allrounder since Imran Khan. Abdul Razzaq is rapid enough to open the bowling and composed enough to bat anywhere. Hisbowling - the reason he was first noticed - is characterised by a galloping approach, accuracy, and reverse-swing. But it is his batting that is more likely to win matches. He boasts a prodigious array of strokes and is particularly strong driving through cover off front and back foot. He has two gears: block or blast. Cut off the big shots and Abdul gets bogged down, although patience is his virtue. Initially he was more of a hit in the one-day game, but he is destined to become a high-class Test allrounder.
