1996 World Cup Profile:
A versatile batsman and one of only two in the squad who has made centuries at both test and ODI level. A natural wicket-keeper who was persuaded to specialise in batting to accommodate captain Lee Germon. Batted in lower-middle order when keeping, but showed ability even then. At ODI level he has batted at #3, anchoring the innings through the middle stages by rotating the strike. Latterly he has been used at #6 where his ability to hit at runper-ball-plus and his speed between the wickets ensures a good acceleration of the innings in the final 10 overs. At test level, by way of contrast, he made a gutsy century from #7 against a West Indies pace quartet. A major weakness as a batsman (in both games) is poor judgement of a run, sometimes forgetting that his partner has to make his ground as well. Initially he found the transition from keeper-batsman to specialist difficu lt, but is regaining form just at the right time. Good, if at times incon- sistent, fielder. When the 15 overs is up look for him sweeping on the cover boundary with sliding saves.help@cricinfo.com
