SINGAPORE: From zero to hero. Forward Faizal Saari finally proved his worth by helping Malaysia win the just-concluded World Hockey League Second Round in Singapore.

Faizal was a total flop in the World Cup in The Hague, Holland, last June after failing to score a single goal in six matches. Malaysia were panned after finishing last in the 12-nation Finals.
