Wigan ,Lancashire , is a former Englishcricket er who attended theJohn Lyon School in Harrow, Middlesex.Perhaps his finest hour came in the
Barbados Test match of the 1993/94West Indies tour, when Fraser took 8-75 in the firstinnings to help set up a famous victory, West Indies' first defeat at Bridgetown for more than half a century. His career-bestfirst-class cricket figures, 8-53, were also taken in a Test against the same opposition, this time atPort of Spain ,Trinidad and Tobago in 1997/98. Despite taking eight wickets in an innings, he did not win theMan of the Match award, which went toCarl Hooper from the winningWest Indies side.His ODI high score of 38 not out, scored late in the innings at No. 10 and including a massive six off
Steve Waugh , almost brought England back from the brink of defeat against Australia during the 1990/91 tour (Australia won by three runs). Another fine moment with the bat was in a last-wicket second-innings stand withRobert Croft to save the third Test at Old Trafford against South Africa in 1998.Despite his Lancashire birthplace, Fraser played all of his
county cricket for Middlesex, in a first-class career running from 1984 to 2002.He served as the county captain from 2001 until his retirement in 2002, when he was appointed as the cricket correspondent of "The Independent " newspaper. He is also a regular contributor to theBBC 'sTest Match Special .In the 1996 edition of
Wisden , he was one of theWisden Cricketers of the Year He currently now resides in Pinner with his wife and two children, Alexander and Bethan.
