 Profile

A brisk seam bowler, with a name that is a headline writer's dream, Onions really caught the eye during the 2006 season and did enough to earn a place in England's provisional 30-man squad for the Champions Trophy. He has maintained an impressive workload for Durham and hasn't just taken wickets on helpful surfaces at Chester-le-Street. A useful lower-order batsman, he was called up to replace Darren Gough in England's one-day squad for the remaining three one-dayers against Pakistan in September 2006. That winter, he toured Bangladesh with England A Bangladesh, under the then-Academy director Peter Moores. The 2007 season was more of a struggle as Ottis Gibson's outstanding form often forced him out of the side, but he still spent the following winter with the England Lions where his game continued to develop.
Andrew McGlashan March 2008
