Tim Bresnan Biography
With the endorsement two Denis Compton awards, 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 a first taste of England-international action.
It came against the visiting Sri Lankans in a T20 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 7-match NatWest ODI series against Australia in 2009, he remained not out in 5 innings and reached his maiden half-century in the 7th. As a front line bowler, Bresnan often went for runs. Yet, he eventually formed an important part of England’s bowling attack in their T20 World Cup success in 2010, playing in all seven matches. By the same year, Bresnan was already an England regular in the shorter versions. His attempt to mark in white flannel is yet to kick off in a big way. Barring a 91 in just his second innings, ‘Brezy lad’ as he is fondly called, has yet to perform up to the standards of note in international cricket.
Fast Facts
His maiden first-class century was part of a record 9th wicket partnership with Australian ace Jason Gillespie for Yorkshire against Surrey. The pair piled a total of 246.
Playing his first match at 16 years, Bresnan was Yorkshire’s youngest debutant in 20 years.
He fell 9 runs short of a century in just his second innings in Test cricket against Bangladesh in 2010.
