Razzaq was once rapid enough to open the bowling and remains composed enough to
bat anywhere, though he is discovering that the lower-order suits him nicely.
His bowling - the reason he was first noticed . Abdul Razzaq was once fast enough to
open the bowling and is integrated enough to strike anywhere,
although it is finding that the demands of lower order of good
manners. His bowling - why was observed for the first time - is
characterized by a galloping approach, precision, and reverse swing. But it's
his batting that is more likely to win games. He has a prodigious wide strokes and
is particularly strong driving through the roof and half were from outside the
front and back foot. He has played 265 ODIs and 46 Tests for Pakistan.
Career :
He emerged
in international cricket in 1996 with his One Day International debut
against Zimbabwe at his home ground in Gaddafi Stadium,
Pakistan, just one month before his seventeenth birthday. Razzaq made
his One Day International debut in November 1996, against Zimbabwe,
but had to wait just over three years to make his Test cricket debut
for Pakistan, eventually doing so
against Australia in Brisbane on November 1999. In the
1999–2000 Carlton and United Series, he rose to fame and was named man of
the series for his all-round performance. During a match
in Hobart against India, Razzaq scored a half century and took
five wickets. In the same tournament, he hit former Australian fast
bowler, Glenn McGrath for 5 fours, which totaled to 20 runs in one
over.
Razzaq became
a regular member of his national side during the 1999 world cup held
in England. During the event, he got the attention of selectors as he performed
well both with the ball and bat. His brilliant performance with the bat came in
the group match against Australia, where he went on to score his first half
century making 60 runs in a long and stable partnership
with Inzamam-ul-Haq, which helped Pakistan reach a defendable target of
275.[1] Pakistan
went on to win the match by ten runs and as a result qualified for the Super
Six stage.[1] With
the ball, he made a brilliant performance against the tough West Indian
cricket team by taking three wickets for 32 runs having three maiden
overs, which proved decisive for Pakistan at Bristo
When the occasion arises, though, as often ODIs, you can still
slog with the best of them: England, were ransacked by a 22-ball 51 in late
2005. and then again for almost 60 runs in the last three overs of an ODI in
September the following year. Razzaq's other impressive performances came
during the Carlton & United Series at Australia in a tri-nation
tournament involving Pakistan,Australia and India in 2000.
Razzaq achieved the man of the series award for his best all round
performances, especially in a pre-finals match against India, where he scored
70 not out with the bat and took 5 wickets for 43 runs, thus becoming the fifth
all-rounder to have scored a half century and take five wickets in a match; the
other four players being Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Ian
Botham and Sourav Ganguly; Shahid Afridi subsequently
achieved the feat.
In the first match of the series against Australia, he took 4
wickets and played an important role for Pakistan helping them to successfully
defend a very low target of just 187 runs at Brisbane. In the third match
of the series, Razzaq came into prominence after hitting five consecutive
boundaries in the fifth over of Australian pacer Glenn McGrath. Eventually
Pakistan was defeated in the finals by Australia but Razzaq was named player of
the series for his all-round performance.
As a fast
bowler, Razzaq experienced a steady decline in speed and performance during
the 2003 cricket World Cup and 2004. During this period, he
remained as a supporting bowler. However, from 2005 to the end of 2006, he
regained his speed and he won many matches for Pakistan with his bowling. His
best bowling figures in a One Day International match is 6 wickets for 35 runs.
His another notable performance was against Sri Lanka at Sharjah in 1999,
where Pakistan was all out for 196 runs and he took 5 wickets for 31 runs to
draw the match. During the 2005–2006 Test match series against India, Razzaq
took 9 wickets and scored 205 runs in two Test matches he played, which
resulted in an improvement of his performance. His batting remained generally
consistent from 2000 to 2006, although his place on the Test team was never
secure. He is characterised by a galloping approach,
accuracy, and reverse-swing. But it is his batting that is more likely to win
matches.
