Brilliant player and a superb player of spin at a time when hardly any other Englishman was. I remember his century in Sri Lanka without a single boundary, and him hitting the winning runs when we won in Pakistan as the Fletcher recovery began.

I always wished he'd made it in to the Ashes side in 2005 just so we would have had one guy from that desperate period of the 90s involved in an Ashes win.
