Next Bothams

Following the Anthony McGrath thread, I was just wondering how many "next Bothams" England have picked for Test matches since the great man first hit the headlines.

I'll start us off with a few of the guys who have been picked as all-rounders. With a star against those misfortunately and probably unreasonably tagged (nB*).

Obviously I'd be interested to see any further additions...

So in no particular order:

Ian Grieg
Phillip de Freitas *
Darren Gough *
Chris Lewis *
Dominic Cork
Graham Stevenson
Chris Cowdrey
Richard Ellison
Andrew Flintoff *
Rikki Clarke
Anthony McGrath
Derek Pringle
Owais Shah
Gavin Hamilton

There's a few to be getting on with. I find myself at a loss to suggest who was the least worthy of selection.
