- After stepping in for a few matches, he was then appointed vice-captain following Flower's retirement and became a regular member of the side in 2003.
- Appointed captain in 2004 after Heath Streak resigned, but it lasted just more than a year - he quit international cricket in November 2005 following a disagreement with the board.
