Steve Rhodes, the Bradford born wicket-keeper whose father played for
Nottinghamshire in the 1960s, was one of a number of Yorkshiremen
brought in by Raymond Illingworth when he became England's chairman of
selectors in 1994. Indeed, 'Bumpy' Rhodes had played for Yorkshire in
the early 1980s before joining Worcestershire in 1985. He had played
three ODIs against Australia in 1989, chosen for his batting ability and
it was that that got him into the England Test team against New Zealand
in 1994. He did not disappoint, scoring 49 at Trent Bridge and 32 not
out and 24 not at Lord's as well as keeping wicket to a high standard.
He scored 65 not out against South Africa at Headingley and his batting
was expected to play an important role in Australia in a 1994-95 Ashes
series. In Australia, though, he was in terrible form, only making a
contribution in the final innings of the final Test in Perth, when he
made 39 not out. Rhodes was chosen to play in the Lord's Test against
West Indies in 1995, but on the morning of the match Illingworth gave
the gloves to Alec Stewart, who had already been selected as a batsman.
Rhodes scored 56 in the second ODI against South Africa, batting with
Thorpe and Chris Lewis and guiding England to victory as rain made the
match spill over into a second day. In the World Series in 1994-95 he
made 21 in England's victory over Australia in Melbourne. (Bob Harragan)
