Makhaya Ntini has terrorised batsmen across the world for almost a decade.

Though not statistically the quickest, he is one of the most fearsome pacemen due to his unusual angle of delivery wide of the crease, stemming from his upbringing in rural Mdingi, where stumps were set in concrete.

Sharp inward seam movement and a combative temperament make a formidable blend - as Pakistan found out in the Champions Trophy when he took 5-21, and Australians Justin Langer and Andrew Symonds discovered when he clouted them on the lid.
