5 unsung T20 heroes of England and South Africa

#4 Tim Bresnan

Tim Bresnan was a fine lower-order batsman and possessed numerous variations with the ball

Not many remember the hustling Tim Bresnan, who used to be a permanent fixture for England across formats. While his Test record in itself is admirable, his best for England came in the T20 format. Having made his debut in 2006 in T20s, Bresnan represented England 34 times in the format until his final match, which England lost to the Netherlands in the 2014 World T20 in Chittagong.

More than just numbers, Bresnan was an impact player for England in T20s. He was a pretty handy batsman down the order and also a good death bowler, dishing out yorkers and slower balls at will.

Bresnan played a pivotal role in England's World T20 win in 2010 in the Caribbean. He finished his career with 24 wickets in the format aside from some handy cameos with the bat at a strike rate above 120.
