We’ve got one young player who’s going to be very interesting. We’re tossing up now what his nickname is going to be — Wild Thing or Tornado, something like that. Kamran Khan is a young kid, a left-armer, a slinger, he doesn’t speak much English at the moment. He’s a tiny little guy but he bowls 140 plus. Another guy to look out for is Ravindra Jadeja. He played last year, did enough but he’s had another year of experience. Then there’s Yusuf Pathan. He was dynamite last year, he just destroys medium pace and spin bowling. He and Andrew Symonds are two of the cleanest hitters I’ve ever seen.
