Andrew Caddick, the tall and lanky fast bowler from Somerset, was one of England’s most consistent bowlers in international cricket. The Christchurch-born cricketer played all his domestic cricket for Somerset since he made his debut in 1990.

Though he did not go on to play a substantial number of games for England, he impressed in the limited opportunities he got. In 62 Tests, he nipped out 234 wickets with 13 five-wicket haul to show for. In ODIs he only got 69 wickets in 54 games, but with a frugal economy-rate of 4 runs per over.

With over 1500 wickets in his career, he is arguably one of Somerset’s greatest cricketers. His last international game was against Australia in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
