“It was a mental thing – he made him believe he could do it. But James Anderson dismissed Hamza for 18 in the penultimate over of the day. When Joe Root declared shortly after lunch on 391 for eight England had added 173 runs in just 32 overs, cashing in on Sibley’s groundwork throughout the more gently-paced third day. However, Sibley never came close to matching those feats in subsequent seasons with the county, and spent half a season on loan at Warwickshire in 2017 before turning down a new Surrey contract to move to Edgbaston on a permanent basis in search of more opportunities at the top of the order. “He was hopeless,” says Stewart Walters, Sibley’s captain at Midland-Guildford in Perth. “Not with Dom – I can’t remember him giving his wicket away once.”. “You knew he was going to play for England – it was just a question of when.”. Elections “He’s a sociable guy. ... 133 … For more than two hours that was a lone strike, with Stokes particularly unlucky to be unrewarded for a fierce spell. He came out of his shell.”. If Sibley’s domestic skills leave a little to be desired, his productiveness with the bat is unquestionable. And the 24-year-old marked his arrival on the international scene with an unbeaten 133 for England in only his fourth Test, against South Africa in Cape Town on Monday. “Noddy simplified everything for Dom,” says Walters. Sibley’s game was transformed by Neil ‘Noddy’ Holder, whom Walters describes as “the best batting coach in the world” and who worked with former Australia players Justin Langer and Mike Hussey and India’s Gautam Gambhir. Sibley the best! Let’s just say, if he needed a helper, he would ask me rather than Sibbers.”. It was only when people asked him about Surrey that he would talk about it.”, Rhodes says Sibley has a dry sense of humour, “good banter” and a taste for R&B and hip hop. “What made him the player he is today is the basic will to bat time.
“He loves Manchester United and he will try to get to games when he can.”. “I don’t remember one particular innings or season,” says Ward. Sibley made his first international century on Monday, with his second-innings 133 not out putting England in a position of superiority in the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Anderson made one last effort, though, and Buttler held on to remove Hamza from the day five equation. Play resumed on 218 for four, Sibley understandably watchful with his milestone in sight while Stokes batted with playful abandon at the scene of his career-best 258 four years ago. “Well done for making that tough call. London [UK], September 30 (ANI): Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, and Dom Sibley have been awarded their first England Test central contracts, the England Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Wednesday. It’s not immaculate, but it’s better than some lads in the dressing room.”. Dom has all the credentials.”. You wouldn’t hear him going around telling people about himself. Last year Sibley was filmed trying to rescue team-mate Ian Bell’s keys after dropping them down a drain. “What Dom has done, through sheer weight of runs, is to smash the door down, to say ‘you cannot not select me’,” says Troughton. "He’d have been so proud of Dom’s achievement, so watching him was tinged with sadness, but he’d also have been delighted at pulling off the bet at massive odds," Mrs Sibley told The Times. Dom Sibley approaches century and builds impressive partnership with Ben Stokes as England pass 200 against West Indies on day one of the second Test at Old Trafford. This is an updated version of an article published in November 2018. His bedroom was another story,” says Will Rhodes, his Warwickshire team-mate and former flatmate. “If it was a 25-over game, he would try and bat 25 overs. That shows that he thrived on it.”, Stewart, who played 133 Tests for England from 1990 to 2003, says: “You need mental strength, ability, technique – and you have got to be run-hungry. Dom Sibley celebrates the wicket of Zubayr Hamza However, South Africa lost just two wickets in 56 overs to leave plenty of hard work ahead. It is also probably wise not to leave him in charge of your car keys.
