R Sullivan yes, that back and across trigger was one of the most reassuring sights in English cricket throughout the 90s. It did get him in trouble being stuck on the back foot and trapped LBW but he had fantastic timing and was one of my favourite players to watch. Should have been the opener throughout his career rather than being shunted around. His batting against the West Indies quicks was brilliant. Less assured against spinners particularly at the start of his innings. Deserved to average higher than 39.
Brilliant free scoring batsmen at the top of the order. Brilliant keeper to. Perhaps a bit wasted when shunted down the order. His opener average was 46. Facing the best in the business.
Alec Stewart was a stylish batsman. His style had pure elegance and class.
Loved his back and across trigger, with the METRONOME back swing

@@enobnala thank you
190 against wasim and waqar in there prime.... one of the greatest and most underrated innings ever!
Aqib Javed was the third bowler.
With his skill, he would qualify in a New zealand/england/Australia of that era too.
This was Alecs highest ever score in test cricket.
Wow that on drive! (Penultimate shot).
What can we say apart from neel at the gaffer
Alec Stewart was old dated brendon mccullam..
Very good memories

This match was ruined by rain - the first two days were practically washed out.
The king of the hook drive and puii
Oh missed the K😅
