Hicksville

Graeme Hick. Is anyone else old enough to remember when he was the greatest batsman in the world? I can remember the utter excitement I experienced when he signed for Northern Districts. And I can remember the awe I felt when he scored a bizillion runs for them. Has any player any faced greater expectation when they came to test cricket? And has any player ever spluttered and fizzled for so long without ever catching fire?
