Graeme Hick Biography
Graeme Ashley Hick is a retired English cricketer who played 65 Test matches and 120 One Day Internationals for England in his career. Mainly a batsman, Hick was also useful with his part-time off-breaks. Hick was born in Salisbury on 23rd May, 1966.

Background
In 1984, Hick came to England on a scholarship from the Zimbabwe Cricket Union. In the same year he joined Worcestershire, where he played domestic cricket until 2008.
Debut
Hick made his Test debut in 1991 against West Indies at Headingley. It was an underwhelming start to international cricket as he made six runs in each innings of that Test. In many ways, that set the tone for things to come, as Hick never really touched the heights in international cricket, that he did at first-class level.

In 2008 he surpassed Graham Gooch's record for the most matches in all forms of the game combined. He scored more than 40,000 first-class runs, mostly from number three in the order. Also, after Sachin Tendulkar and Graham Gooch, he is only player to have passed 20,000 runs in List A cricket. Also, he is one of only twenty-five players to have scored 100 centuries in first-class cricket.
Club Career
Hick retired from county cricket at the end of the 2008 season. He then played for the Chandigarh Lions in the rebel Indian Cricket League in the winter of 2008. He has also played for England's Marylebone Cricket Club as well as Auckland and Northern Districts in New Zealand. He had a first-class batting average of 52.23 and test average of 31.32 which clearly indicates that he had a great domestic career compared to international career.
Retirement
Due to severe pain from chronic back pain he retired from his cricketing career, after which he was appointed as Member of the Order of British Empire in the year of 2009. In January 2014, He was appointed as high-performance coach at Cricket Australia's Center of Excellence. Later on, in the year of 2016, he was promoted as batting coach for Australian side.
