Angus Robert Charles Fraser, one of Wiseden’s cricketers of the year in 1996, met perhaps his finest hour in England’s 1993/94 Barbados Test match against the West Indies. His 8-75 in the first innings set up a famous victory; West Indies' first defeat at Bridgetown for more than half a century.

Despite being born 8th August 1965, in Billinge Higher End, Wigan, Lancashire, Gus played all of his county cricket for Middlesex, in a first-class career running from 1984 to 2002. He served as the county captain from 2001 until his retirement in 2002, when he was appointed as the cricket correspondent of The Independent newspaper. He is also a regular contributor to the BBC's Test Match Special.

Famous for being the only player in the England team without a bat sponsor, one of his finest moments with the willow was in a last-wicket second-innings stand with Robert Croft to save the third Test at Old Trafford against South Africa in 1998.

On this very special evening at Hawkwell Hotel, Gus Fraser will no doubt regale his long and extinguished cricketing career, with this exclusive chance to pose your questions and gain a personal insight into what it means to be a Test cricketer.
