Hi Zainub,
This what i mean about hype: "endless production line" doesn't mean that the line is definitely high quality! Rao has a very weird delivery stride where he seems to twist in mid air, but there's no doubt that the away swing should get him wickets with the new ball if he can pitch in the right areas. Aaqib had a nicer action and was a very competitive cricketer. Agree with you totally about Sami though, he's top quality and will prove it in the not too distant future!
