Profile:
Zimbabwe's one tried and tested opening batsman,
an anchorman capable of stabilising the innings and batting for
hours on end. Although he sees it as an important part of his job
to prepare the way for such strokemakers as his brother Andy and
Alistair Campbell, the importance of his role should never be
underestimated. It never is by his team-mates, who also rate him
as one of the best all-round fielders in the world. Although
generally seen in the gully, he is superb in any position. He has
developed as a strokemaker in recent years, and his experience
allows him to keep the scoreboard moving in one-day matches. His
slow left arm bowling is useful on one-day games, relying on
accuracy and variation in flight rather than spin. A determined
and disciplined player he works hard to make the most of his
talents
