Of all the sights in cricket there are few more exhilarating than stumps being ripped from the turf by a lightning-fast bowler.
Well, that’s what Olly can do and just how well he does it was shown by his championship figures in 2018, 43 wickets at just 12.20 apiece!
“I love the club, it has so much history and I am just looking forward to an exciting next few years with the Bears.”
Those wickets, earned by bowling of blistering pace, earned him selection for England’s winter tours of Sri Lanka and West Indies and he made an excellent impression in the ODIs in Sri Lanka before sadly a stress-fracture forced him home from the Caribbean before he had played a game there.
His Test debut arrived in 2019, against Ireland at Lord’s in June, and he was among the wickets straight away. Norwich City-loving Olly will be making plenty of batsmen hop around in both county and international cricket in the coming years.
