Martin Bicknell: Martin Paul Bicknell (born 14 January 1969 in Guildford, Surrey) is a former English cricketer. He played only four Test matches, but the last two, against South Africa in 2003, came ten years after the first two in the 1993 Ashes series. England had played 114 matches between his appearances, a record. He was considered most unlucky to be constantly overlooked for selection in home test matches when constantly proving himself a prolific wicket taker in county cricket. He was a very effective medium-fast swing and seam bowler who reached one thousand first-class wickets for his county, Surrey, in 2005, having achieved the milestone in all first-class matches the previous year.[2] In 2000 he had match figures of 16-119 for Surrey against Leicestershire at Guildford, the second best match figures ever returned for the county. His figures in the second innings were 9-47.[3] His best innings figures were 9-45, against Cambridge University at The Oval in 1988. He was also an increasingly useful tail-end batsman, verging on all-rounder status, with three first-class centuries to his name and an average of 24.87.

Mark Butcher: Mark Alan Butcher (born Croydon, Surrey, 23 August 1972) is an English cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman, and to a lesser degree a right-arm medium-pace bowler. Butcher has played all his county cricket for Surrey, for whom he made his first-class debut in 1992. He made his Test match debut in the first Test of the 1997 Ashes series at Edgbaston. As of the end of the 2004 season, he had played 69 Tests, making eight centuries and averaging over 43. Butcher has captained England once, in a draw with New Zealand in 1999 when Nasser Hussain was injured. Unusually for such an experienced Test player, Butcher has never appeared in a One Day International; no current player has played more Tests without a one day appearance. Butcher enjoyed a good start to his career, hitting two half-centuries in five matches against an excellent Australian side. He then struggled (along with the rest of the England side) against the West Indies that winter. However, in the next series, he played magnificently, scoring two fifties and a century against an excellent South African side. Though he followed that with a marvellous hundred against Australia in the first Ashes Test that winter, he then failed for the rest of that series. A miserable run followed, as he failed to score a half-century in twelve consecutive matches. Despite being appointed stand-in captain for one Test against New Zealand, he was dropped from the side in the winter of 2000. Butcher's domestic form then suffered a dramatic decline, and he found himself languishing in the Second Eleven at the start of the 2001 domestic season. However, some work with his father, Alan, sorted out his form. He came back into prominence with an excellent innings in the Benson and Hedges Trophy semi-final, and was drafted into the Test side to play the Australians in the first Ashes Test, once again at Edgbaston. Strong showings throughout that series culminated in a mercurial 173 not out at Leeds, as England successfully chased 315 to win.
