Iconic fast bowler Bob Willis is among the greatest bowling legends in English cricket history. Willis is fourth on the list of highest wicket-takers for the country behind the trio of James Anderson, Ian Botham and Stuart Broad. The lanky Englishman is considered to be among the most intimidating bowlers of his time.

Willis played 90 Tests as part of the England team in a career that lasted 13 years. He claimed 325 wickets at an average of slightly over 25 and had as many as 16 five-wicket hauls under his belt. Surprisingly, though, Bob Willis was never able to record a tally of 10 wickets in a match.

His greatest figures in Test cricket were 9 for 92 against New Zealand at Headingley in 1983.
