Haven't really read it yet; suggestions based on first impressions :


 * "Gower played 117 Test matches or England between 1978 and 1992, scoring over 8,200 runs. He is one of the most capped and highest scoring players in English Test cricket history, and with 18 centuries he is joint 4th with fellow captain Michael Vaughan in the most hundreds scored by an England player. He is also one of the most capped One Day International players, with 114 matches, however his record of 3,170 runs at 30.77 is less impressive." Not so many stats in the lead, please, the details should be left for the body of the article.
 * Trimmed it down a bit.

Is this is a commonly shared opinion ? If not, would be better to move it deeper into the article.
 * cricket commentator "so successful that his cricket seemed mere preparation."[1]
 * It appears to be, this is actually a quote from his CricInfo profile, which is a fair measure of concensus.
 * There is very little about his time as captain.
 * I shall expand it with the help of some other users.
 * The domestic cricket is not really domestic cricket and contains info on tours. Is this the best way to break it up ? Tintin 13:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I shall work on a reshuffle SGGH ping! 13:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
