Hands up for Nixon

Paul Nixon, the wicketkeeper is considered as one of the main reasons why Eng won the tri series final against Australia.Here's what Steve Waugh has to stay about him

Steve Waugh played with him for a few months at Kent. “Nico? He’s like a mosquito buzzing around in the dark of the night that needs to be swatted but always escapes,” said the former Australia captain. “He is elusive but ever-present. This guy makes Ian Healy [the wicketkeeper who played for Australia under Waugh] look like a choirboy, with his rasping wit, enthusiasm and stunningly accurate assessments of opponents. Geez, I love the guy’s work. He should have been born an Aussie.”
