Batsmen who picked just one wicket in more than a hundred Tests

David Gower

David Gower picked up the wicket of Kapil Dev in 1982

Charismatic English batsman and former captain, David Gower represented his country in 117 Test matches and amassed 8231 runs.

Gower was known for his lazy elegance- reason enough for him not to bowl. In all, he bowled just 36 balls in an illustrious career that spanned 15 years.

On their tour to India in 1982, England captain Keith Fletcher deployed every possible trick to enforce a result in the final match at Kanpur.

In the process, Gower ended up picking up his only Test wicket, that of ace all-rounder Kapil Dev, caught by Graham Dilley for a whirlwind 116. The only over Gower bowled turned out to be the last one of the match that ended in a draw.
