Top 10 players of all time from Glamorgan

Jack Mercer

Although he started out his career at Northamptonshire and then played for Sussex, it was at Glamorgan that Jack Mercer had his longest stint and it was there that he became one of the most versatile bowlers in county cricket. Mercer joined Glamorgan in 1922 and for the next 17 years, resigned as the team's main bowler. He was primarily a right arm seam bowler, who had the ability to swing the ball both ways and while that brought him plenty of wickets, he could also double up as an off-spinner when the situation demanded.

Mercer picked up 1460 wickets in his Glamorgan career and remains the 2nd highest wicket-taker in the county team's history. In his entire first-class career spanning 457 games, he picked up 1591 wickets and averaged 23.40.
