Best English cricketer's of the last twenty years...

Question

Give me three batsmen, three bowlers and a wicket keeper that have at least competed well against Australia in the last twenty years.

Please submit your views.

Answer 1

This is going to be very very difficult. Not many players played well against Australia.

English Batsmen:

Kevin Pietersen: 10 Matches against Australia. 963 runs @ 53.50 runs

per innings.

Michael Vaughan: 10 matches, 959 runs, average 47.95.

Brian Broad: 8 matches, 708 runs, average 59.

Three Bowlers:

Ian Botham: 36 matches, 148 wickets at 27.65 apiece.

Chris Lewis: 5 matches, 21 wickets at 34 runs each.

Andrew Flintoff: 11 matches, 42 wickets at 29.59 runs each.

Wicket Keeper:

Alec Stewart: 33 matches, 82 catches and 2 stumpings.

Toby: The batting and bowling performances of Gower and Gough against Aussies were below their career performances. Ramprakash had a good performance, for sure. Did Alan Knott play in the last 20 years ?
