Rachael,

I don't know much about any of these bowlers but I get the feeling that Pakistan supporters tend to over-hype up and coming players when established bowlers hit a lean patch. Iftikhar Rao is a prime example. Although he does get some away swing, he bowls at only around 80mph, doesn't offer much variation and his action looks awkward. I only saw his bowling in the first match against Zim but apparently he bowled a lot better in the 2nd.
