David Gower
David Gower is regarded as one of the most talented batsmen of the modern era, hitting 8,231 runs for England in 117 Tests. He retired from cricket in 1993 to begin a media career that has proved arguably as successful. After an accomplished stint working for the BBC, he now fronts Sky Sports’ cricket coverage and pens cerebral commentary for The Sunday Times
