Profile

Born and bred in Yorkshire, Joe Sayers is a solid presence in their top order. It is probably fair to say he is a stodgy batsman, but has played a number of priceless innings in tricky conditions. His career sparked into life for a few months in 2007 with a string of impressive scores including a career-best 187 against Kent.
