Reverse swing to play vital role !

The Pakis stunned the world with their ability to reverse swing the ball. Waqar and Wasim became deadly with the old ball. Now Umar Gul of Pak, Zaheer of India and Malinga of SL are known to be the experts of this sort of swing.

Allan Donald, the new NZ coach, feels that the reverse swing can make or break a team

Says he "The reverse swing is a massive thing and a huge key for me in this World Cup. That is where (the death overs) games are going to be won and lost."

That the Kiwis have reverse swingers was proved in the second match of the WC, when they shot out Kenya for 69.

Says the Kiwi skipper, Vettori "I think Tim Southee and Jacob Oram are probably the two best guys who have the ability to bowl both... Hopefully with Allan's knowledge, it will improve and we will find some result".

So batsmen, beware !
