Just as England's leading bowling all-rounder retires, it's gratifying to see his natural successor emerge.
Tall, blonde, well-spoken and with a past as an opening batsman, he has recently emerged as a bowler of genuine high class.
Despite initial reticence about bowling he now appears ON TOP of the 2nd team end of season bowling averages with 14 wickets at 13.57 (that's above proven performers such as Lohan, Biswas, Smith and er..Pope).
