10 best players of all time from Hampshire

9 Peter Sainsbury

Peter Sainsbury was one of Hampshire's greatest ever cricketers and although he never played for England, he will always be remembered for having featured in the County Championship triumphs for the county back in 1961 and 1973.

Sainsbury played for Hampshire for 22 years between 1954 and 1976 and rose to become one of the best left-arm orthodox spinners in the county circuit. His batting was nothing to be sniffed at either and as his career progresses, he became a dependable batsman lower down the order.

In 593 games for Hampshire, Sainsbury picked up 1245 wickets at an average of 24.14, while as a batsman he scored 19576 runs at an average of 27.03. He also scored 7 centuries and 97 half-centuries during the course of his first-class career.
