Darren Gough Biography

Darren Gough is one of the most popular and richest Cricket Player who was born on September 18, 1970 in Monk Bretton, England, United Kingdom. England’s top bowler during the majority of the 1990’s , he was England’s top wicket-taker ODI’s with 234. He also was a part of Yorkshire from 1989 until 2003 and 2007 until 2008.

In May 1993, however, during a match for Yorkshire against Hampshire at Southampton, he shifted his mindset completely. With the hosts well into their second innings, and Gough beginning to jade, he found himself with four wickets and a choice: he must either disregard his bodily protests and go for the five-for, or he must lower his speed and safeguard his analysis. The latter had characterised his approach in most such scenarios hitherto, and he duly went with it until Richie Richardson, Yorkshire’s foreign signing, told him to engage the former.

He was first selected for the England cricket team in 1994, playing both Test and One Day International cricket. Four first-innings wickets and an innings of 65 on Test debut showed his potential, and the media, as is usual with practically any aggressive England all-rounder, quickly dubbed him the “new Botham”. Like most such pretenders to that throne, he did not fully ascend to such lofty heights: his batting fell away, and he eventually averaged only 12 with the bat in Tests. Nonetheless, his continued presence in the England team became a vital one in both personality and play. Memorable highlights of his Test career included taking the 23rd hat-trick in Test cricket against Australia at Sydney in 1999. His only first-class century came against Warwickshire in 1996 at Headingley.

Two sons are his who are named Liam as well as Brennan.
