Identity crisis

Early days in the domestic season, but Essex all-rounder Ryan ten Doeschate has emerged as an early contender for MVP award. He has a lot in common with much of the England limited overs side insofar as he was born in South Africa and is quite good in the limited overs formats. That has led to understandable suggestions that ten Doeschate could be next in line. Not so, says the Essex tyro in an interview with BBC Sport. "There's nothing English about me", he said, which is fair enough. However, he then goes on to add "I'm South African through and through".

Short memory, then, about his 26 ODIs and 9 T20 internationals for the Netherlands.
