Scott Borthwick

Last updated

"Personally, I hope little Scotty Borthwick gets the chance before long. He's a leg-spinner, he's got a bit of X-factor and he can bat as well." [7]

He was subsequently called up to the England Test squad for the Ashes (alongside James Tredwell) in time for the 4th Ashes Test as a replacement for Swann. [8]

He eventually made his Test debut in the fifth Test at Sydney, alongside fellow debutants Gary Ballance and Boyd Rankin. Borthwick took four wickets, including 3-33 in the second innings, but England lost heavily to complete a 5-0 Ashes series defeat. [9] Borthwick has not played international cricket since.

As of July 2022, he holds an unusual record as the bowler with the most Test wickets without ever bowling a maiden. [10]
