Only one wrong-un. You've correctly included Woakes, unlike me and Grecian. And both of you remembered Moeen, unlike me. You can find the one you missed from Grecian's list if you feel so inclined. I originally omitted him as I thought that he took most of his wickets in the 1990s, but apparently he took over 100 in this century.
I missed one, thinking Gough made the cut when it turns out he managed 94 in the new century.
My unreasonable Woakes fandom meant I wasn't missing him. Wouldn't have guessed Caddick took more than Gough this century.
I had completely under-estimated how many wickets Gough and Caddick took in this century.
A stat that made a very long-term impression on me was that for a while it seemed like the most wickets an England seamer could get was about 250. Gough, Caddick, Harmison, Hoggard, Flintoff were all in that bracket and until about 2011-ish Anderson and Broad were too. So when thinking of England bowlers they all occupy the same sort of bucket for me.
Same. I had just overestimated how many of their wickets that G&C took in the 1990s. I remembered them doing very well in the home tests of 2000, respectably in Pakistan and Sri Lanka the following winter, struggling against Australia in 2001 and not much after then. As it turns out, they did a bit more than that in the early 2000s; especially Caddick.
