MIKE HENDRICK

'Michael Hendrick' (born October 22, 1948, Darley Dale, Derbyshire) is a former English cricketer who played in 30 Tests and 22 ODIs from 1973 to 1981.
Hendrick lacked express pace but was hazardous on a green wicket, as his command of seam bowling was considered to be excellent. He could make the ball do "disappearing acts" on cloudy days, but he came to "curse clear skies and sunshine". ^[1] Dennis Lillee once described him as a good bowler in the "right conditions". ^[2] His best Test bowling figures of 4-28 came against India in 1974.He holds the record for taking the highest number of wickets in Test cricket among bowlers without having a five wicket haul in a Test innings.
