Jack-in-the-box allrounder Gareth Batty had to jink
around to find a regular first-team spot. Born in Bradford, he
played for Yorkshire in 1997 before moving south to try his luck
with Surrey. The young man then went west to Worcester, for whom he
took 56 wickets with his offspin (and biffed 491 runs) in 2002. That
won him a spot at the England Academy in Adelaide in 2002-03, and
the selectors sent for him as they cast around for reinforcements
during that winter's injury-plagued tour of Australia. Batty played
two one-day internationals in Australia, impressing with his tight
lines and feisty fielding, and with that in mind he was included in
England's 14-man squad for the 2004 Champions Trophy. Doubts
persisted about whether he turned it enough to trouble Test batsmen,
but he was nevertheless selected for England's trip to Bangladesh
and Sri Lanka in 2003. It was an eventful tour - he came close to
drowning in a surfing accident in Galle, and at times struggled to
keep his head above water with the ball. His batting against Muttiah
Muralitharan, on the other hand, was a revelation, and he was
instrumental in saving back-to-back Tests at Galle and Kandy.
