10 best Worcestershire cricketers of all time

#2 Norman Gifford

Norman Gifford

Left arm off spinner Norman Gifford may have been from Lancashire but it was with Worcestershire that he became one of the best spin bowlers in England in the 1960s and picked up 1615 wickets during his two-decade-long association with the country. Gifford's tally of 1615 wickets is the second highest in Worcestershire history.

He was also instrumental in Worcestershire's back to back triumphs in the county championships in the 1960s. Gifford also played 15 Test matches for England and claimed 33 wickets at a respectable average of 31.09. However, the emergence of Derek Underwood meant that he could no longer be the specialist spinner in the national team. He continued to excel for Worcestershire till 1982.
