5 English players who started on a high but fizzled out later

#4. Chris Tremlett

Tremlett was architect of England's Ashes win in 2010

In the second innings of his debut Test against India in 2007, Chris Tremlett kept on hitting the deck hard and sent back Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, and Zaheer Khan. It was a fantastic spell of pace bowling and could have been a match-winning one as well had rain not intervened when India were nine down.

The sensational debut and tall body which added to his venom were enough to make Tremlett England's new poster boy in the bowling department.

But then injuries happened and he was out of action for a long while. However, his comeback in 2010 Ashes series was even better than his debut as he claimed 17 wickets and helped England to an Ashes series win down under for the first time in 24 years.

But Tremlett lacked the resilience and the patience required at the highest level and soon became the weak leak in England's bowling artillery.

The pace bowler played his last Test in 2013 and since then hasn't been recalled.
