He made his ODI debut as a 19 year old in 1999, but it was in 2006 that
he made his Test debut, against New Zealand in Christchurch, after
convincing the selectors with strong performances in the domestic
circuit. Bagging a pair wasn’t the way to go – Franklin and Shane Bond
dismissing him before he could get off the mark – but he was given
leeway and in the second Test he scored a 61 and an unbeaten 152. In 11
Tests, the last of which was in 2008, he scored 537 runs at an average
of 33.56.
