Michael Andrew Atherton Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Michael Andrew Atherton OBE (born 23 March 1968) is a broadcaster, journalist and retired England international cricketer. A right-handed opening batsman for Lancashire and England, and occasional leg-break bowler, he achieved the captaincy of England at the age of 25 and led the side in a record 54 Test matches. Known for his stubborn resistance during an era of hostile fast bowling, Atherton was described in 2001 as a determined defensive opener who made "batting look like trench warfare" and he had several famed bouts with bowlers including South Africa's Allan Donald and Australia's Glenn McGrath. Atherton often played the anchor role at a time when England batting performances lacked consistency and the side's overseas results were mediocre.His playing career included some controversy, including an accusation of ball tampering, and several brushes with the media with whom, by Atherton's own admission, he did not have a good understanding when he was a player. Often hampered by a chronic back complaint which was to contribute to the end of his career, Atherton was considered a leading England batsman during the 1990s. Following retirement he became a journalist and is currently a cricket commentator with Sky Sports.

#	Fact
1	Replaced Graham Gooch as England captain in 1993, after the Ashes Test series of that summer had been lost in the previous test at Headingley, Leeds. Went on to captain England in 52 consecutive test matches, a national record, during which time he was the only ever present player. Also acted as stand-in captain during the 2001 Ashes after an injury to Nasser Hussain.
2	Made his 100th Test appearance in 2000 in the third Test against West Indies on his home ground, Old Trafford.
3	Made career-best 185 not out against South Africa at Johannesburg in 1995, batting for over eleven hours to force an unlikely draw. The innings was described by England Supremo Ray Illingworth as "the best I've ever seen."
4	Keen Manchester United supporter. His father was on United's books for a while in the 1960s, but injury forced him into retirement before he broke into the first team.
5	Attended Cambridge University and played cricket for a number of years for Lancashire and went on to become the England captain. He was accused of ball tampering in 1996 when he was seen on TV taking what appeared to be a piece of dirt from his pockets to rub on to the ball. He is now a commentator for the Channel 4 cricket programme, Today at the Test (2000).
