Advantages: Destroys poor bowling

Disadvantages: Hasn't achieved his full potential

No English player since Botham has captured my attention as much as Graeme Hick. I witnessed his destructive 405 not out for Worcestershire against Somerset a few years ago, and anyone there will not dispute he is a very fine batsman.

But alas he cannot do the business for England on a regular basis. Mike Atherton is almost certainly to blame, callously declaring when Hick was on 98 not out, on the verge of a test century against Australia on their soil. Had he gone on to make three figures, I am sure the resulting increase in confidence would have ensured Hick countless more Test runs.

England coach Fletcher must get the best out of this incredible player.
