Top 10 English middle order batsmen of all time

#6 Graham Thorpe

The left-handed batsman who played exactly 100 Test matches for England between 1993 and 2005, was the best batsman in the side for much of his career.

He batted at number 4 or 5 for most of his career and was known for his excellent technique, stroke-making abilities as well as the ability to spin well in tours to the subcontinent.

He has the second highest run scorer among English middle-order batsmen of all time and he did so in 99 Test matches, during the course of which Thrope scored 6608 runs at an average of 44.95.

He made 15 centuries and 39 half-centuries and remained one of England's middle-order order mainstays during a pretty tough period for the national team.
