Notes : NBC Denis Compton Award 1997
Born in Devon, reared in Bristol and an England A
tourist before he had played a first-class game, Read has
established himself as the tidiest gloveman in English cricket,
although like Jack Russell before him, such an accolade is no longer
a guarantee of one's selection. A back-foot fighter with a
productive whip-pull, he bats as high as No. 6 in the
Nottinghamshire middle order, and was picked by England against New
Zealand in 1999, infamously ducking into a Chris Cairns slower ball.
He made the one-day team that winter in South Africa and, despite a
below-par performance behind the stumps, showed composure with the
bat, memorably mowing Shaun Pollock for six to reignite a run-chase.
Read lost ground after his debut, dropping behind Paul Nixon and
then James Foster in the race to become England's next keeper, but
he was a more rounded player by the time Alec Stewart finally hung
up his gloves in 2003. He duly returned to the top of the pile, and
after an immaculate time behind the stumps in the Caribbean, he was
controversially dropped in favour of Geraint Jones, the better
batsman. Two months later, and Read had been axed from the one-day
side as well, despite some combative performances low down the order
