About Michael Bevan
As well as being a fine fieldsman, Michael Bevan is one of Australia's most exciting and skilful cricket players. Born in Canberra, Michael made his first-class debut in 1989-90 in South Australian colours and hitting a thrilling century in his very first innings.
It was however in Sydney that he began to make his greatest strides as a player, quickly assuming a regular middle order berth in the then strongest state team in the country using it as a launching pad from which he gained an Australian cap for the first time in 1993-94.
Variously dubbed the world's best limited-overs batsman, it is for his uncanny knack of being able to work the ball into even the narrowest of gaps in the field; to see many innings through to their conclusion without losing his wicket; and to accumulate runs with a minimum of fuss, for which he has essentially become best known.
His left-arm wrist spinners, although rarely seen in recent years, proved extremely difficult to pick and even saw him briefly assume a batting all-rounder role in the Australian Test side in the mid-1990s.
An integral member of the Australian one-day team for a considerable time, he was a part of the country's victorious World Cup sides in 1999 and 2003 and has been a key factor behind innumerable international wins.
