Not really- he's only played 22 Tests so far.

I think he's better than Michael Bevan as an ODI finisher, but I can't see him going down as one of the greats of Test cricket, any more than Damien Martyn- because he'd only have had a handful of years at the top.

And we shouldn't forget the case of Andrew Strauss- most runs scored ever in the first year, but a run of low scores meant his average slipped to just over 40. And I think the form slump started at around the 20th Test, too.
