A perennial student of the game who's unafraid to go against convention. Has love and respect for the game, and is a true cricket fan. Could probably be last of his craft to play 100 Tests. Very big shoes to fill when he calls it a day, so celebrate him till he's there. #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/7hIFMMRtSn
