Tim Bresnan

Profile

With two Denis Compton Awards to his name, young Tim Bresnan was lined as England’s eventual replacement for Andrew Flintoff. First-class centuries in pressure-cooker situations coupled with consistent bowling figures, and the right-handed all-rounder was set for his first taste of international action.

Bresnan first appeared against the visiting Sri Lankans in a T20I match in 2006. An ODI debut arrived two days later versus the same opposition but neither of those defeats recorded a noteworthy performance from the Yorkshire lad.

Later exposure saw better displays. In the seven-match ODI series against Australia in 2009, he remained not out in five innings and reached his maiden half-century in the seventh. As a front line bowler, Bresnan often went for runs. Yet, he eventually became an integral part of England’s bowling attack in their World Twenty20 success in 2010, playing in all seven matches. By the same year, Bresnan was already an England regular in the shorter versions.
