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'.

X - Sultan ZarawaniY – Alan Donald
