#4 David Gower
The left-handed batsman is probably one of the greatest batsmen to have ever played for England and he was at ease in both the top order as well as in the middle-order.
David Gower played for England from between 1978 and 1992 and is regarded as one of the most graceful stroke-makers to have ever played the game.
Although he had opened the innings a few times and batted at number 3 plenty of times, it was as a middle-order batsman that he is best known.
As a middle-order batsman, Gower made 5539 runs at a healthy average of 42.28 and scored 10 hundreds, in addition to 29 fifties.
