Born in Tunbridge Wells in 1957, David was a former English cricketer who became the captain of the England cricket team during the 1980s. Described as one of the most stylish left-handed batsmen of the his era, he was one of the most capped and high scoring players for England during his period.
David led England during the 1985 Ashes, and his team was victorious. He ended his career with an impressive record in First-class cricket, accumulating 26,339 runs at an average of 40.08, and 53 centuries. As of February 2013, he holds the record of 119 consecutive innings without registering a duck in Test cricket. Following his retirement, David is now a successful and admired presenter and commentator for Sky Sports. In 2009 he was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
