25. Bouncer
Player 'X' of the United Arab Emirates, broad-shouldered, standing
with a dense mop of black hair tucked under a broad-brimmed floppy
hat,no helmet, taking guard to face 'Y' – on his first ball in his maiden
World Cup.
It was a sight that angered the South Africans, already bothered by
the 40-degree heat in Rawalpindi, who wanted to wrap up the match
as soon as possible.Was it a slight to the fast man’s ego to watch an
Associate player showing no respect by walking out helmetless? The
next ball was a perfect on-the-money bouncer: he could not really
duck, he sort of stood up and just flinched. It really hit flush on his
head. The ball almost came back to 'Y', that’s how hard it hit him. His
hat fell off. At the end he told he was fine.
Identify 'X' and 'Y'.

26. X - Sultan Zarawani
Y – Alan Donald
