Such a shame that injury took away so much of his career, the 4 quicks in that series complemented each other so well. Hayden was scared of him, only scored any runs in the last Test when Jones was out injured.

Yeah, if he had an injury free career, I swear he'd be considered one of England's finest bowlers. That reverse swing in the gif is one of the finest balls I've ever seen. Utter beauty.
I may have the terminology wrong but whatever it is, it's a glorious sight to see a batsman shouldering arms only for a stump to go flying.
Yep, he was expecting that to go wide thanks to the reverse swing on the ball, first going out, then it swiftly changes direction and targets those stumps. Perfection.
I was there. We were square on and thought Gatting was an idiot for missing a loosener! Then we saw the replay on the TV screens .....
I kind of miss the tubby middle-aged looking cricketers playing for England. Was Gatting the last England regular who looked like he'd struggle to run around the pitch?
Putting a little stick about. Putting the frighteners on flash little twerps

They have certainly been fitter in recent years. I don't want to be size-ist but Rob Key maybe and Gary Ballance? Check out Rahkeem Cornwall who recently made his debut for the West Indies. He is a big unit!
