ECB National Acadamy

This weeks English Test player
Nasser Hussain

A wonderful double century against Australia at Edgbaston in 1997 helped England to take an early lead against the strongest Test team in the world, and although Australia fought back to take the series 3-2, Hussain's stature as a senior player was assured. He has a wide range of strokes, excelling in the drive and cut, to which is added a sound defence. His natural instinct is to attack, but he has great powers of concentration and makes few errors of judgement. He is also a superb fielder in any position. Appointed England vice-captain in 1998, he succeeded Alec Stewart as captain after the debacle of the 1999 World Cup. Although his tenure began with two series defeats, at home to New Zealand and then in South Africa (where he topped the batting averages with 370 Test runs at 61.66), Hussain is credited with playing a major role in the subsequent revival in England's fortunes. He also impressed with his honest and frank speaking off the field and his determination and aggression on it.
