		Stewart himself did not play as well as he is famous for and his inability to inspire his players by setting a personal example was said to be one of the main reasons for England's debacle, as it were.
		As if that were not enough, Stewart took six catches in a match and equalled the ODI record for a wicketkeeper.But the icing on the cake came at Old Trafford, Manchester, in the third Test against the West Indies in the ongoing series.
		Stewart, whose toothy smile is as deceiving as his gait, has cricket, nay sports, flowing in his veins.

		Stewart's strength as an opening batsman was compromised by the selectors' desire for balance: he and Jack Russell swapped the wicket-keeping gloves regularly throughout the 1990s, but Stewart, better standing back than standing up, eventually became the regular No. 1.
		But Stewart's leadership was based on passion not nous, and when England lost another Ashes series and flopped in the 1999 World Cup, he was harshly axed.
		Stewart survived, though.Against India at Lord's in 2002, he crowned his achievements by becoming England's most-capped Test cricketer, overtaking Graham Gooch's record of 118 matches.
