#2 Graham Thorpe
Graham Thorpe was a class act for England at a time when they did not have a very strong batting line-up. He featured in exactly hundred Tests and gathered 16 hundreds at an average of 44.66.
His ODI numbers were decent as well but paled in comparison to his Test numbers - 2380 runs in 82 games with 21 fifties at an average of 37.18 - an indication that England did not take their one-day cricket too seriously back in the day.
Thorpe’s ODI best of 89 came against Zimbabwe during a Benson & Hedges World Series game at Brisbane on 7 January 1995. The innings came off 119 balls with 7 fours. England posted 200 for 8 on the board and won by 26 runs as Thorpe was awarded man of the match.
Thorpe made another 89 against Netherlands at Peshawar during the 1996 World Cup.
