In this great game of cricket there are many cricketers, who played quite brilliantly,

Scored some runs with pretty good averages but never got too much of coverage; Graham Thorpe is among these cricketers. After Gooch-Gower era Graham Thorpe is one of the best batsman of England. Thorpe has played 98 tests for his country, the number is not so negligible. Cricketing life and personal life of this cricketer is full of stories for the British tabloids.

Graham Thorpe is a stylish left hander for his country. He proved his cool head in every part of cricket. You can call him as Michele Bevan of England.

In test cricket Thorpe scored 6636 runs at an average of 44 (highest 200 not out) which is a very good average in test cricket. Being a middle order batsman Thorpe has played 82 one day internationals and has scored 2380 runs (average 37) but he hasn?t scored a single century in ODIs while he does have 16 centuries as a test player. Though he has retired recently from One day cricket and is concentrating more on tests. For his county team Surrey Thorpe has scored 21483 runs with 49 centuries- this is quite amazing.

In the 90?s England suffered very much with their batting and Graham Thorpe has been one of the leading batsmen of the team. Though Thorpe is a middle order batsman but he played some great innings as a test player.

This cricketer has suffered very much in his personal life recently, but above all he is a complete batsman and a very cool headed player.
