Ian Salisbury Biography

Ian Salisbury is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on January 21, 1970 in Northampton, England, United Kingdom. Ian David Kenneth Salisbury (born 21 January 1970) is an English former cricketer and one of the few leg-spinners who test cricket in England in recent times. Salisbury was a part of fifteen Tests as well as four One Day Internationals between 1992 between 1992 and 2000. The first class cricketer played with Sussex, Surrey and Warwickshire during a time span from 1989 to.

The writer for the cricket team, Colin Bateman, commented, “the selection of Ian Salisbury against Pakistan in 1992 made cricket romantics rejoice. When he played at Lord’s he became the first specialist leg-spinner selected for England since Robin Hobbs in 1971”. In his next Test match Salisbury’s total of twenty wickets cost the equivalent of 77 runs per wicket.

1999 saw the first of Salisbury’s three first-class hundreds, exactly 100 not out against Somerset as he shared a ninth-wicket partnership of 122 with Martin Bicknell. His second century (101 not out) came in 2003 against Leicestershire, and his third century (103 not out) came against Hampshire in 2007 sharing in a stand of 177 with Azhar Mahmood.

This was to become a familiar pattern, as England regularly turned to Salisbury now that leg-spin was being made fashionable again by the emergence of Shane Warne, and just as regularly discarded him after a couple of matches; never in his fifteen Test career did he play more than three games in a row. He was not good enough to prosper at the highest level, with a career Test bowling average of 76.95, and he has been rated as the worst specialist bowler in Test cricket. He played his last Test in 2000/01 in Karachi, with a series aggregate of 1–193.

1992 was the year that Salisbury made his breakthrough that saw him take first-class wickets of 87 at less than 29 per wicket, with six 5-wicket hauls. Salisbury was rewarded with getting named as one of Wisden cricketers to watch in following year’s Almanack as well as with his debut in a Test match.

First time that he appeared in England took place in the month of June, 1992, when they played Pakistan on the field at Lord’s. At the end of the 3rd Test,, he scored a significant half-century in the first innings. Then he was removed for the remainder in the season.

In county cricket, however, Salisbury was a different man. He passed 50 wickets most seasons, and when he left Sussex for Surrey in 1997 he revelled in wickets that suited his bowling style. In successive seasons his bowling average improved: 31.20, 22.89, 22.19, and in 2000 he took 52 wickets at just 18.92, including a career-best 8–60 (and 11–101 in the match) at The Oval against Somerset.
