[edit] Cleanup

There are a few probably POV phrases in the first paragraph and the second paragraph is frankly incoherent, but I really don't know enough about the man or about cricket (hell, I can't even tell if punchy and smashing are POV hyperbole, or cricket terms. "Failed in the first Test match"... failed what? does this mean he was crap? or injured? or failed to be selected?). NicM 13:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Proposal for complete rewrite

I would like to completely rewrite this article, including a more detailed statistical profile (infobox cricketer biography). I will source as much material as I can, and will include external links to both his Cricinfo and Cricket Archive profiles. If anybody has any objections, could they please respond ASAP as I will probably have it finished and up on the site by tomorrow afternoon. I am aware that changes can be undone, but I just thought I'd try to be polite.
