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

#2. Michael Lumb

Lumb is the only second English batsmen to score a ton on debut

On his day, Michael Lumb could be the most aggressive batsman on the ground. His ruthless hammering had the potential to tear apart any bowling line-ups.

The left-hander was the ideal opener for ODIs as his free flowing batting was effective for exploiting the power plays. And as he displayed in his debut innings against West Indies, he was also capable of playing a big innings as well.

By scoring a hundred on his debut, he became only the second English player to achieve the feat. However, England lost that game and surprisingly Lumb wasn't given another chance in the national team after that ODI series.

But he did enjoy a longer T20 career that included 27 games in four years. His first class record is also impressive as he has featured in 210 first class games so far.
