The best Indian fast bowler of the modern time and the Asian Bradman, as Pakistan’s Zaheer Abbas is known as have identical first name. Zaheer Khan ruthlessly preyed on the batsmen on the slightest hint of weakness and Zaheer Abbas was an elegant batsman with a huge pile of runs in his record.

Cameron White is Australia’s attacking middle-order batsman who later developed into a nagging leg spinner and took responsibility of as a spontaneous captain, whereas Cameron Boyce, also an Australian leg spinner, is a new name in the International circuit but a famous one in first-class cricket.

Each of the Stuarts hailing from every corner of the world, has its own charisma. Stuart Broad, the recent Ashes hero has been leading the pace pack of England in the absence of James Anderson. Also, the T20 captain of the England team has won many hearts with his boyish look and bowling performance.

Stuart Carlisle a self believer was the utility batsman for the Zimbabwe team. Carlisle has also captained the Zimbabwean side. A stunning fielder, Carlisle could bat anywhere from 1-7 number. Stuart Binny the Indian all-rounder is yet to make a prominent place in the Indian squad. Binny has captained Karnataka and has established himself as a hard-hitter in the Indian Premier League.

Stuart Clark the Australian fast bowler as said by the selectors was a “Glenn McGrath mould.” A perfect opening bowler, at the age of 30 he had a dream start at the age of 30 bagging the ‘Man of the Series’ award with 20 wickets when he replaced McGrath. Stuart Williams a lovely stroke player was expected to mature at a steady rate to play great innings for his country. Unfortunately the Caribbean batsman had just one ton and 4 fifties in his career.
