Zaheer Khan has been the biggest thing to happen to the fast bowling department. The left-arm seamer from Baroda has tolied away admirably, bowling with a lot of pace. He bowled through the Test series in Sri Lanka with an injured shin. Perhaps it was a bad decision not to give the fast bowler enough rest to recover. The latest story is that he is yet to recover from the shin injury he sustained in the last Test in Sri Lanka. BCCI's sports medicine expert Dr Anant Joshi who put Zaheer through the drills at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai found that the left-arm pacer was not yet match fit. Zaheer Khan will be sorely missed in South Africa where the pitches favour the fast bowlers.
