Graham Onions is a sharp away swing bowler who has been on England's radar for some time. He was selected in various international squads throughout the 2006 season without ever coming close to making a debut and consolidated his reputation with England A.

Injuries and a wealth of fast-bowling talent at Durham restricted his 2007 and 2008 opportunities, but he was always in the selectors' thoughts and an impressive start to the 2009 season earned him a call-up for home series against West Indies. Onions made an instant impression, taking seven wickets on debut at Lord's.
