Angus Fraser - Definition and Overview

Angus Robert Charles Fraser (born 8 August 1965, in Billinge, Lancashire) was an English cricketer.

Fraser was one of the most consistent English seam bowlers of the 1990s, although like all too many of that decade's players, his selection or otherwise for the international side was sometimes a matter of the selectors' whims rather than being decided on purely cricketing grounds.

Perhaps his finest hour came in the Barbados Test match of the 1993/94 West Indies tour, when Fraser took 8-75 in the first innings to help set up a famous victory, West Indies' first defeat at Bridgetown for more than half a century. His career-best first-class cricket figures, 8-53, were also taken in a Test against the same opposition, this time at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad in 1997/98.

Despite his Lancashire birthplace, Fraser played all his county cricket for Middlesex, in a first-class career running from 1984 to 2002.
