5 England players who were unlucky not to have played more for their country

#1 Frank Tyson

Frank Tyson could generate hostile pace from a relatively shorter run-up

Frank Tyson's numbers present a fairly accurate description of his eminent menace in the ultimate format. From just 17 matches, he collected 76 wickets at an average of 18.56 and strike-rate of 45.4.

Nicknamed 'Typhoon' for his intimidating pace, he simply blew away batting lineups when on song. The most startling aspect of Tyson's game was his intrinsic ability to push batsmen perpetually on the back foot despite operating mostly from a relatively shorter run-up.

During the 1950s, England had their best ever assortment of fast bowlers. With Fred Trueman and Brian Statham forming a potent new-ball pairing, Tyson had to settle for providing the shock value. After beginning to experience the aftereffects of a career-threatening heel injury, he extracted himself from cricket at the age of 30 and drifted to Australia for exploring other avenues.
