"Richo was probably one of the most popular players in professional cricket in 2005. He bowled countless overs, stayed fit, took wickets and never complained - that's pretty much all you could ask for from an opening bowler. He often held us together as a bowling side and kept us in the game. He is also very balanced, thoughtful and often the first to laugh in the dressing room. I suppose it's not his fault that he supports Stoke FC - we all have our flaws. Same again in 2006, al. Nothing less will do."
