Description

Tonbridge, Kent born left handed batsman and left arm medium pace or slow orthodox spinner Frank Woolley played for Kent County Cricket Club between 1906 and 1938 and for England from 1909 to 1934. A genuine all-rounder, Woolley was a left-handed batsman and a left-arm bowler. He was an outstanding fielder close to the wicket and is the only non wicket-keeper to have held over 1,000 catches in a first-class career, whilst his total number of runs scored is the second highest of all time and his total number of wickets taken the 27th highest.

Woolley played for England in 64 Test matches from 1909 to 1934 and is generally regarded as one of cricket’s greatest all-rounders. He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in the 1911 edition of the almanack and was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2009.
