Darren Gough

58 Test matches; 229 wickets; 28.39 average; 6 42 BBI; 51.6 strike rate Englands charismatic paceman Darren Gough follows at No. 25 after a career affected by injuries but one that was pretty successful. A big hearted performer, Gough was often Englands most consistent bowler during the 1990s and early 2000s, and he was a key part of some of their biggest successes. Even more tellingly, he had the ability to take wickets overseas in conditions that were not always helpful, meaning his strike rate is very healthy.
