Alex Wylie (cricketer)
Alex Wylie (born 20 February 1973) is a former English cricketer, who played first-class cricket for Worcestershire in the 1990s. He was born in Tamworth. Wylie made three first-class appearances before he became injured.[1] He picked up two wickets in his brief first-team career: the first, on his debut against Nottinghamshire in 1993 having Bruce French dismissed hit wicket.[2] Two years later he had Middlesex's John Emburey caught by David Leatherdale.[3] He had played for Worcestershire's Second XI as early as 1989,[4] and joined the staff in 1991. However, injury blighted his chances and it was not until 1993 that a feature in The Guardian listed him as Worcestershire's "one to watch", noting his "extremely rapid" bowling. Wylie had a good career based on the other classes of cricket he played, however his extreme potential to be one of the best English bowlers was cut short due to injury.[5] Wylie also played club cricket for Droitwich Spa in the Midland Combined Counties League.[6] References
