A nimble, Chaplinesque right-hander, Ramnaresh
Sarwan was brought up in the South American rainforest around the
Essequibo River. After his first Test innings, 84 not out against
Pakistan, Ted Dexter was moved to predict a Test average of more
than 50 - an unfair millstone to hang around any young player's
neck. But on his first tour, to England in 2000, Sarwan lived up to
the hype by topping the averages. His footwork, which seemed to
require no early trigger movements, was strikingly confident and
precise. It was a surprise when he then produced a horror run of
three runs in five innings in Australia, but against India in
2001-02 he was back to his composed best. Sarwan, who took over as
Brian Lara's vice-captain in March 2003, required 28 matches and 49
innings to post his maiden Test century, 119 in December 2002 - and
even then it came against the less-than-mighty Bangladeshis. But, as
the likes of Graham Gooch and Steve Waugh can testify, the first
time is often the hardest, and since then, his batting has achieved
a greater level of consistency. A dream series against South Africa
in 2003-04, where he averaged nearly a 100 runs a Test, was followed
by a lean run against England. But he battled on, and returned to
form in a stunning manner with an unbeaten 261 against Bangladesh in
June. Then came the England tour in 2004 where he began and ended
the tour on a low note, but was prolific in the middle. However,
West Indian fortunes were on the ascendency in one-dayers, as they
reached the finals of the Natwest Series and then won the ICC
Champions Trophy. Sarwan played a big hand in both tournaments, and
carried on his good form in Australia.
