Profile:
Guy Whittall is an aggressive middle-order
batsman who can score useful runs, even centuries, at Test level,
and a nippy medium-pace change bowler with the knack of taking
useful wickets, besides being a very good outfielder with a fine
throw. Originally selected for his batting, his bowling has
developed and he is a useful fourth seamer, combining away swing
with nip off the pitch. Since making his debut in Pakistan, he has
been a regular in the national side. At the age of 16 he was
selected for the national schools side and scored a century in the
Logan Cup (in its pre-first-class days) for Zimbabwe Schools
against the Harare Central team. He made his first-class debut at
the age of 18, and his Test debut against Pakistan shortly
afterwards. He seems to enjoy playing against Pakistan, making his
first Test century in Zimbabwe's first ever Test win, and in
1998-99 completing a Test double hundred against them
