Fazal always bowled accurately with great variety. A great bowler of his time. His inclusion in the Indian team to Australia in 1947 would have made the difference. Madhav Mantri
Fazal could make the ball talk on a matting wicket. Neil Harvey
On matting Fazal was often unplayable; on grass he could be equally devastating. To the casual observer he might have appeared harmless and just another bowler putting his arm over. But what a guile and consummate skill went into every ball. Alex Bannister
