When he was touring West Indies under ECB National Academy, he was called up to join England National Team while in India to be the replacement of Marcus Trescothick at the last minute. This is when he debuted and made a century.

Even if he had some scoring exploits in the early test career, he came under the criticism in the year 2008 when he was not able to achieve to a century but he was able to get it in the year 2008 when he was able to increase his centuries list when he got two centuries with 95 scores while playing with Australia and this helped to seal the first victory of England against Australians since 1934. The game took place at Lord’s. In the series, he took up 7 catches and this included final wicket in order to win the ashes series of 2009. After deputizing like a test captain in the year 2010, and taking the ODI captaincy full time, he went on and played for a new pivotal role when he was being retained in the ashes series of 2010-2011.
