He is a dashing batsman capable of destroying the attack on
his day. He also performs a steady role as the side’s 5th bowler,
delivering accurate if unspectacular off-spin. His back foot stroke play is a particular
delight to watch, as bowlers all around England discovered to their dismay, during his
remarkable debut season with Kent in the summer of 1995.
