He has demonstrated that someone who can keep wicket to an exceptionally high degree, as well as score an impressive 15 Test hundreds, deserves to be known as one of England’s greatest ever all-rounders. His story is that of someone deeply in love with cricket, fortunate to have inherited outstanding sporting genes, but supremely professional at utilizing that natural talent to the ultimate degree.
