Born into a cricketing family, it is safe to say that Cricket runs in Chris Tremlett's blood. His grandfather represented England in Tests and his father was a respected county cricketer. Standing at 6ft 7in, Tremlett is one of the tallest men to have played the game. The height and a massive frame suits his bowling style to perfection.
Relying on disconcerting bounce to get his wickets it was no surprise that he was picked for the Perth Test in 2010/11 against Australia. At the MCG, Tremlett shot to fame almost immediately picking three wickets on the first morning to plunge Australia to 98 all out. He was not done though. He picked up four more wickets in the second innings and helped England to a decisive victory. He carried his good form into his next Test series. This time it was Sri Lanka who bore the brunt of the menacing bowling.
