Die hard captain in the Paul Collingwood mode - good fielder, bowls lively quick stuff that can trouble anyone on the right pitch; bats well but keeps footwork to bare minimum.
Has thrived on captaincy, organising nets, coaches, dinners, and generally reining in the excesses of his team.
May struggle to impose discipline on tourists - who frankly look a motley crew; recently got engaged.
Wisden:
Team of tourists were described by Wisden as "without doubt the most dodgy bunch of tourists since Philip of Spain said to his sea captains - "Come on lads, lets sail the Armada round the English channel"
(Editors note - Wisden never said that...they were far less complimentary...)
