Born
Atherton batted almost 11 hours for 185 not out at Johannesburg in 1995 to save a Test against Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock, one of the great rearguards. He was England's opener through the 1990s against superb attacks, with a chronic back condition, and his duel with Donald at Trent Bridge in 1998 is a classic of hostile fast bowling. His value lay in time at the crease.
