"...he will have a straightforward role in trying to unsettle the Aussies with his height and bounce."

The man who hates being called a "gentle giant" is unlikely to play too big a role in this Series but a particularly bouncy wicket may yet see him get a game.....

Chris Tremlett
Nickname: Twiggy, Goober
Right arm fast medium bowler
Tests: 3
Bowling Average: 29.69

Ashes role:

The third of England's beanpole quicks, he is behind Bresnan in the queue, but if he gets his chance, he will have a straightforward role in trying to unsettle the Aussies with his height and bounce.

Likes: Fast, hard pitches that enable him to whistle the ball through throat-high
Dislikes: Being called a gentle giant
Trivia: On his England debut, he missed out on a hat-trick when the ball landed on top of Mohammad Ashraful's stumps but didn't dislodge the bails.

Odds to be top England bowler: [19.0]
