The most fearless fast bowler to ever represent England was Bob Willis. He had both of his knees operated on when he was 26 years old, and as a result, he rarely bowled without experiencing agony.

However, he managed to extend his career for nine more years via pure willpower, finishing with 325 wickets from his 90 Test matches.
