Neil Foster Biography

Neil Foster is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on May 6, 1962 in Colchester, England, United Kingdom. Foster was born 6 May 1962 in Colchester, Essex. He attended Philip Morant Comprehensive Colchester. Foster was a member of Essex’s most successful period in history. He was supported by a star-studded Essex team, which included other England players like Keith Fletcher and John Lever. The Essex County Championship was won five times by Foster, their spearhead fast bowler, during his time at the club (1983, 1984 and 1986, 1991, 1992 and 1992).

Foster was named as one of the tour leaders, along with Mike Gatting, during the 1989 Fourth Test. All rebel cricketers were expelled from Test cricket for three years.

Foster got a recall from the selectors in 1993, replacing Phillip DeFreitas in the Second Ashes test. It was his first Test for four years. He became the fourth South African rebel to be rehabilitated, after Gatting, John Emburey and Paul Jarvis, and his selection was designed to bring more aggression to the English attack. But on a docile pitch at Foster’s least favourite Test ground, his recall was not a success. Foster opened the bowling with Andrew Caddick, and the Australians scored 632 for 4 declared. England lost by an innings and 62 runs. Foster played only one more county game before retiring that year.

Foster was a Test cricket player in the same way as Graham Gooch and other Essex players. Foster’s fast-swinging bowling was suited for English conditions. However, his best bowling performances came in the match against India in Madras (1984-1985), where he took 11 wickets. Foster is the only bowler who has managed to score a duck in a Test against Javed Miandad or Viv Richards.
