Darren Gough (born 18 September 1970) is a retired English cricketer and former captain of Yorkshire County Cricket Club. The spearhead of England's bowling attack through much of the 1990s, he is England's second highest wicket-taker in one-day internationals with 235, and took 229 wickets in his 58 Test matches, making him England's ninth-most-successful wicket-taker.

Gough retired at the end of the 2008 cricket season with Justin Langer as his final first-class wicket. Domestic cricket Gough was offered a contract by Yorkshire cricket and Rotherham United but chose cricket. He made his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
