== The Phantom == 

 Thanks for fixing the link to Chris Martin. If I can help answer your question in the edit summary: He is in the New Zealand team as bowler, but his inability at batting has made him something of a cult figure. He is often unable to defend his wicket for long making his stay at the crease so short that we say that we could barely see him at the crease (as if he were a phantom which appeared and then disappeared again quickly).
