Graham Onions is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on September 9, 1982 in Gateshead, England, United Kingdom. Graham Born on September 9, 1982 to Richard Onions and Maureen Onions. He has a younger sister Christine. Onions was a student at St Thomas More Catholic School in Blaydon and also at the Gateshead leisure centre, he took the opportunity to test various sports. He excelled at badminton , and was chosen as a member of the England team for the under-15 level. After playing cricket in roadsides, Onions became part of Gateshead Fell Cricket Club. He got married to his wife Emma in the year 2010 and has two kids, Oliver James (2013) and Esme Amelia Rose (2015).

Onions was selected to play in England’s tour to South Africa in November 2009 from November 2009 to January 2010. His average bowling score during the tour ranged from 40 to 50 however, his batting two times was instrumental in helping England to win a Test during an intense rearguard battle during the day five. Onions was dropped for on the final and fourth Test in favor by Ryan Sidebottom. Onions was left out of the opportunity to play in conditions that were more appropriate to his style of bowling than in previous games and was surprised at his absence. He said “When Straussy gave me the bad news, my reaction was one of sheer surprise. You could have knocked me down with last year’s Newcastle season ticket. I tried to rationalise what had happened. I know my stats haven’t been brilliant, but I feel I have bowled well enough to earn a better return.” South African fast-bowler Dale Steyn said his fellow bowlers in South Africa too were surprised by the fact that Onions dropping him “He would have been a handful on this wicket, he gets very tight into the stumps and could have been very dangerous … obviously Onions has troubled a lot of our batsmen throughout the series and it’s surprising to see he wasn’t playing. It was a bit of a relief in a way.”

Although he embarked on the Test leg of England’s tour of Bangladesh in March 2010, Onions returned home with a back injury without playing a match. Alastair Cook, England captain on the tour, voiced his disappointment that Onions would not be able to play for England: “He was a huge part of our plans and he still is, obviously, because of the way he bowled in South Africa, where he was unlucky not to take more wickets than he did. He bowled really well there, and I was expecting him come to these conditions and bowl well here as well.” The injury prevented Onions from playing most of the English cricket season. He also underwent surgery on his left knee to repair cartilage. Speaking of his disappointment at not being able to play for England, Onions said “The last few months have been massively frustrating. When you’ve had a place in the team for a while and you lose it it’s hugely disappointing and hurts a lot. Before the injury everything had been like a dream for me, all I ever wanted to do was play for England, but the last six months have been tough.” In April 2010 Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack named him as one of its five cricketers of the year for 2009. Onions did not recover in time to play in the 2010–11 Ashes series. However he was named in England’s 27-man performance squad the following March after recovering from surgery.

England won the first two Test of the three-match series against the West Indies in June 2012, and for the final fixture front-line fast bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad were rested. As a result, Onions played his first Test since his back injury in 2010. Rain washed out three days of the match which ended in a draw and Onions took 4/88.

After being noticed at the time by Geoff Cook, Durham’s coach, Onions made his second XI debut aged 18. Onions was offered an employment contract at Durham and decided to make a career of professional cricket instead of pursuing the path of a sports science degree at a university as his other choice. Onions joined his team in the 4th bowler position. In his reflections on his early years In his early days, he believed that he was trying too hard at first. In one instance, he told the way “I remember being thrown the ball at an important stage of a game at Scarborough, and Phil Jaques hit me for four successive fours. I was thinking ‘I’m not sure I can do this.’ But Dale Benkenstein was a huge influence as captain, and you have to learn from all those experiences. Otherwise I could not have done what I did in my first season of Test cricket. I often went for 15 to 20 runs in my first three overs, but always came back strongly.” The year 2006 was a time when Onions often opened bowling in Durham along with Ottis Gibson.
