Top 5 No. 4 England batsmen of all time

4 David Gower

David Gower

He is arguably the greatest left-handed batsman to have ever played for England and certainly one of the finest to have ever graced the game.

David Gower played 117 Tests for England between 1987 and 1992 and out of those, he batted at number 4 in 57 of those. Even though number 4 was not always his most preferred position, he is still the 3rd highest scorer for England in that position, with a tally of 3223 runs and an average of 38.36.

It must be pointed out that he had personally performed better number 3, where he averaged in excess of 49. As a number 4, Gower made 3 centuries but he also made 20 half-centuries during the course of his stint at the position.
