Stephen Peter Perryman (born 22 October 1955) is a former English cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket for Warwickshire and Worcestershire during the 1970s and 1980s.
Perryman caught the eye at the age of 17 in 1973,when he took 6/44 in 23 overs for Warwickshire Young Amateurs as they beat their Buckinghamshire counterparts in the Hilda Overy Trophy. [1] He had played for Warwickshire's Second XI before the year was out,and appeared several more times in early 1974 before making his first-class debut in early July against Cambridge University at Nuneaton;it proved to be rather a frustrating debut as he neither batted nor bowled in a game in which little play was possible. [2] That was his only first-team appearance of the season,although he did play for England Young Cricketers in two Youth Test matches against West Indies Young Cricketers a few weeks later. [3]
In 1975,however,Perryman played a full part in the season,finishing with 49 first-class wickets at just over 30 and 22 List A victims at a little over 32. He did not play quite so often the following year,but nevertheless managed three five-wicket hauls in first-class innings. In 1977 he enjoyed a successful time in three-day cricket especially:his 73 first-class wickets were his highest season's aggregate, [4] and included 11 wickets against Middlesex in August. [5] Wisden was impressed,saying that he had "more than confirmed the promise of the previous season" and had continued "to mature in the Cartwright mould". [6]
Perryman had another fairly successful summer in 1978,claiming exactly 50 first-class wickets. In the middle of June he took 12 wickets in the match against Lancashire, [7] and a little over two months later he recorded his career best when he took a match-winning second-innings 7/49 against Hampshire. [8] Earlier in the season he had also recorded his List A best,albeit against lesser opposition in the form of Minor Counties West in the Benson &Hedges Cup. [9] He took 51 first-class wickets in 1979,also claiming 26 List A victims (his most),but in 1980 he did not become a first-team regular until near the end of the season.
In the 1981 season Perryman averaged 43 in first-class cricket and 38 in the one-day game,his wicket totals roughly halving from 1980 in both forms of the game. At the end of the year he left Edgbaston and joined Worcestershire,where he played for two seasons. He did have some successes at his new county,such as the 6/49 he managed against Lancashire in August 1982, [10] but he could never quite establish himself as a true regular in the side,and in 1983 he was almost absent from one-day cricket,bowling just 13 overs. [11]
He played his final Worcestershire game,against Essex,in late August,rounding off his Warwickshire career with the single wicket of former West Indies Test player Norbert Phillip. [12] After that,Perryman was seen no more at first-class level,though he did appear several times for Staffordshire in 1988,playing one List A match for the minor county when he turned out against Surrey in the NatWest Trophy in June. [13]
Ashley Fraser Giles is a former English first-class cricketer, who played 54 Test matches and 62 One Day Internationals for England before being forced to retire due to a recurring hip injury. Giles played the entirety of his 14-year first-class career at Warwickshire County Cricket Club.
Worcestershire County Cricket Club is one of eighteen first-class county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Worcestershire. Its Vitality Blast T20 team has been rebranded the Worcestershire Rapids, but the county is known by most fans as 'the Pears'. The club is based at New Road, Worcester. Founded in 1865, Worcestershire held minor status at first and was a prominent member of the early Minor Counties Championship in the 1890s, winning the competition three times. In 1899, the club joined the County Championship and the team was elevated to first-class status. Since then, Worcestershire have played in every top-level domestic cricket competition in England.
Philip John Newport is a former English first-class cricketer, who played primarily as a seam and swing bowler. Newport was a stalwart of Worcestershire County Cricket Club for most of the 1980s and 1990s, and played a key part in the county's triumphs in the late 1980s. Newport played in three Test matches for England between 1988 and 1991. He was born at High Wycombe in 1962.
Kyle William Hogg is an English former cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler who played for Lancashire from 2001 to 2014. Between 2000–01 and 2002 Hogg represented the England under-19s in six youth Tests and 11 One Day Internationals (ODIs). In the 2006–07 season he travelled to New Zealand where he represented Otago as an overseas player. Hogg spent time on loan with Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire, both in 2007.
Thomas Christopher Smith is a former English cricketer who played for Lancashire County Cricket Club. He had also been a member of the England Academy team. In 2008, he played for Leicestershire on loan because he was unable to break into Lancashire's first team. He is an all-rounder, bowling right-arm medium and batting left-handed. At the start of the 2009 season, Smith was promoted to open the batting, having previously batted in the lower order, and secured his place there. In 2011, the year Lancashire won the County Championship for the first time since 1950, Smith became the first Lancashire player to score a century and take four wickets in the same one-day match. In 2011/12 Smith played for the Matabeleland Tuskers in Zimbabwe as an overseas player in the domestic twenty20 competition.
Michael Burns is an English first-class list cricket umpire and former first-class cricketer who played county cricket for Warwickshire and Somerset in a first-class career which spanned from 1992 until 2005. He also played Minor Counties cricket for Cumberland and Cornwall. An adaptable cricketer, he appeared for Cumberland and Warwickshire as a wicket-keeper, but when he moved to Somerset he developed into an aggressive batsman who bowled at medium-pace when needed.

He also played at minor counties level for Hertfordshire, and later still stood as a first-class umpire in both England and South Africa. Tarbox's career statistics were fairly modest, but as his obituary in Wisden noted, he frequently chipped in with a few useful runs or wickets, valuable commodities for the generally weak Worcestershire sides of the day.
Steven Joseph "Steve" O'Shaughnessy is a former English professional cricketer who played for Lancashire and Worcestershire in the 1980s, and then had a substantial career in Minor Counties cricket with Cumberland.
