England’s Greatest Uncapped Player PETER SAINSBURY (HAMPSHIRE) - chairman - 06-25-2016 The only man to play in both of Hampshire’s Championship-winning sides in 1961 and 1973, Sainsbury was a genuine allrounder who was unfortunate to play in a golden era of English spinners. His slow left-
armers, always probing but rarely turning extravagantly, were good enough to take over 50 wickets in a season 15 times. But ahead of him throughout his career were Underwood, Illingworth, Lock and Titmus. He was also good enough with the bat to score 1,000 runs in a season on six occasions.
