Darren Gough was one of the mainstays of the England bowling attack for a major part of the 1990s and the early 2000s. In a Test career which saw Gough play 58 Tests, the paceman picked up 229 wickets at an average of just over 28.

Despite being consistent with the ball almost throughout the span of his career, the Yorkshire cricketer was at his best during his last few years in the Test arena. Between the years 2000 and 2003, Darren Gough claimed as many as 94 wickets in just 24 Tests.

Gough, however, continued to play limited-overs cricket till 2006 but called it a day after missing out on England’s 2007 World Cup Squad.
