The Iceman Cometh
Selected as a stroke maker, his early days were not overly productive -- at one stage he was dropped and replaced by his twin Mark.

He was back soon, having eschewed all risky strokes from his armoury.

It has been said he bats better at 30/3 rather than at 300/3. He never backs down from a fight, and England --he averages 59 against the old enemy -- has been a particular favourite of his.
