SUNNY’S SONNY: Rohan has found that a famous surname doesn’t always help. He struggled to make the Mumbai Ranji squad and had to go to Bengal to make the cut. A busy left-hander unlike his copybook father, Rohan (27) even turns his left arm more often than his father did — and is quite comfortable with one-day cricket. Not quite Like Father Like Son! THE PRINCE: Yograj was a one-Test fast-bowling wonder and the man who pushed Kapil to train harder. Yuvraj has outlived his father’s international career; effervescent on the field and with the bat, the Punjabi Munda has been like a breath of fresh air. Still only 21, his time in Test will come — for now, he can get back to flinging himself at point, and watching the video of the Natwest Trophy final UDIT IN A SPIN: Brijesh Patel rules Karnataka cricket, as state association secretary. Which has made things tough for son Udit, an off-spinner of some ability who’s played U-19 cricket for India. There’ve already been murmurs of how he’s kept Dharmichand out of the Karnataka Ranji XI and how he was awarded a prestigious sporting scholarship to Australia STUART’S THE WORD, ROGER!: Roger Binny could bowl a decent spell and hit the ball hard. Stuart is a carbon copy who has caught the eye playing Under-19 cricket for India. Now a Ranji player too, Stuart will be hoping to follow his father’s career to its fullest IT DOESN’T HAPPEN ONLY IN INDIA STREETFIGHTING BOY: Uncle Javed Miandad was the best streetfighter-cricketer and a huge act for Faisal Iqbal to follow. But the young batsman — who fields as well as Javed — is still learning the ropes. Has worn Pakistan colours but still some way away from being a regular. Has played a bit of ‘A’-level cricket after being first spotted as an under-19 player LEANER THAN LANCE: Of all the second-gen cricketers, Chris Cairns is the closest clone of the father. Tall, well-built (but slimmer than his dad) , he can strike the ball long and hard, like Lance could. Forever injury-prone, Chris is looking to become the second-highest Test wicket-taker for New Zealand after Sir Richard Hadlee — if his knees hold up POLLOCK’S PACE: His old man Peter was quicker but Shaun Pollock is now the senior statesman of South African cricket. Despite being sacked unceremoniously as captain, Pollock is now picking up wickets by the bucketful with his movement and accuracy. And deadly when bowling in tandem with Makhaya Ntini.
