10 best Worcestershire cricketers of all time

#3 Reg Perks

Reg Perks

Medium pacer Reg Perks is the most successful bowler in Worcestershire's history with a total of 2143 scalps in 595 games between 1930 and 1955. In first-class cricket, Perks averaged 24.07 as a bowler and was the leading bowler for Worcestershire for most of his career.

He was selected to play for England in 1939 but could only play two Test matches for his nation. The Second World War intervened just when he had been handed his debut and when international cricket resumed, he was 35 years old and no longer under consideration for selection to the team. Perks, however, continued to play for Worcestershire till 1955 and his record will probably stand for a long time.
