ONE of England's most successful Test bowlers of the 1990s will be the guest of Herefordshire Cricket Society at tonight's (Thursday's) monthly meeting at Hereford United Vice-Presidents' Club.

But it's likely to be an event closer to home that forms some of the questions when Angus Fraser meets society members.

The tall seamer bowler had an integral role in one of the Herefordshire's most famous victories, although probably not one he relished.

The 48-year-old captained Middlesex, also featuring Andrew Strauss and Phil Tufnell, when the Minor County side gained an unexpected success in the first round of the Nat West Trophy at Luctonians' Mortimer Park headquarters back in 2001.

Fraser's bowling figures of 1-63 from 10 overs sit in stark contrast with some of the other memorable stints of his distinguished career.

In his 46-Test career, he took 177 wickets, twice getting eight in an innings against powerful West Indies sides in the Caribbean.

He was one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1996 and, after a career in journalism, he has now returned to his roots and is the managing director of Middlesex County Cricket Club.
