[GIMH]

A fine career. Tainted somewhat by recent allegations, alas. But as a cricketer, he was pretty bloody good for a while there.

 

[Kirkut]

Gun bowler when on song, blew us away a decade ago with reverse swing at brisk pace.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

The fact he only batted 26 times in 23 tests shows how good the batting was back then.

 

[slippy888]

He was the closest thing to Flintoff

 

[TheJediBrah]

He was the closest thing to Flintoff

in bodyweight maybe

 

[AndrewB]

He had a career of two halves in Tests: averaged 45 and 23 in his first 10 Tests, 17 and 44 in the remaining 13.
