Alec Stewart celebrates England's victory over South Africa

When Duncan Fletcher took over as England coach, Alec Stewart had just been sacked from the captaincy following a disastrous World Cup campaign at home in 1999, but over the next four years, he performed well as a batsman.

Stewart kept wickets and also formed the spine of the English middle order during those years. In a total of 92 matches (Tests and ODIs), he scored 5 centuries, 3 of them being in Tests. He also managed 24 half centuries, averaging 36.13 across the two formats of the game. He retired after the home series against South Africa, in which he scored a meagre 72 runs in 5 Tests.
