8. Fred Trueman
Fred Trueman will undoubtedly go down in history as one of crickets biggest characters! Nicknamed 'fiery Fred' it is easy to see why he struck fear into batsman with his aggressive nature and sheer pace with the ball. He took
307 wickets in 67 test matches for England at an average of 21.57. These impressive figures included reducing a strong Indian side to 0-4 on his debut! He had an overwhelming self-confidence and this, coupled with his great control over the ball, made him one of England's greatest ever bowlers and certainly worthy of a place on this list.
