10 best Worcestershire cricketers of all time

#5 Ian Botham

Ian Botham at Worcestershire

If he had played for a long time for Worcestershire, then one of the England's greatest ever cricketers would certainly have been considered the greatest cricketer to play for the county. However, his stint with Worcestershire was restricted to a five-year spell towards the end of his career between 1987 and 1991.

However, Botham thrived during his time at Worcestershire and averaged almost 41 with the bat. On the bowling front, he averaged 42.04. The county did not taste any notable success during the period but did emerge triumphant in the Sunday league. He went on to join Durham after playing at Worcestershire for five seasons.
