ZAHEER Abbas made his mark almost at the beginning of the '70s. He was a competent and happy striker of the ball and demonstrated immeasurable, infinite power and willingness to delight the connoisseurs of the game. Very early on, he was compared to Sir Donald Bradman, the greatest of all batsmen ever, and the most renowned of all Australians, and affectionately given the sobriquet of "the Asian Bradman".
Zaheer had many strokes at his command as batsmen of comparable calibre and reputation would, but in particular his cover drives were excellently timed and dispatched with enormous power. For the execution of this particular stroke he was compared by English commentators and the Press to Wally (Walter) Hammond, one of the three great English "Heroes" the other two being Sir (Leonard) Len Hutton and Sir Jack Hobbs.
