PwC Ratings: Gough is England's best since Willis
Darren Gough has climbed to fourth place in the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Ratings for bowlers
PricewaterhouseCoopers Media Release
21-May-2001
Darren Gough has climbed to fourth place in the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Ratings for bowlers. He is at the highest points level for an English bowler since Bob Willis in 1983.
Andrew Caddick has climbed to ninth place, while Graham Thorpe has returned to the batting top ten for the first time in three years.
Saqlain Mushtaq (10th) remains the top rated Pakistan bowler, making his omission at Lord's all the more mystifying.
