Ever since representing Kenya as a 17 year old at the 1996 World Cup, this whole-hearted allrounder has been a key performer for his side. His bustling medium-fast seamers and powerful middle-order batting led some commentators to label him `the black Botham', but it took him until his seventh match to take his first ODI wicket, during a spell of 3 for 25 in Nairobi against Pakistan. Since then he has become established as one of the lynchpins of the side, and has formed a reliable new-ball partnership with Martin Suji. In 1997-98 he shared in a then-world record ODI stand for the seventh-wicket of 119 with the other Suji, brother Tony, at home against Zimbabwe. He was the first, and so far only, Kenyan bowler to reach 50 ODI wickets, and has done the `mini double' of also passing 1,000 ODI runs. However, injury forced him out of Kenya's trip to the West Indies for the 2003-04 Carib Beer Cup first-class competition, but he was fit again for selection for the 2004 Champions Trophy. He returned from Kenya's 18-month international exile on song, and was named Player of the Series in Zimbabwe in 2005-06. He underlined his potential as an allrounder with some excellent performances in the World Cricket League in 2007. He couldn't repeat his rollicking strokeplay in the World Cup in the Caribbean, but his bowling was as disciplined as ever. Consistent performances led him winning inaugural ICC Associate ODI Player of the Year in 2007.
