, (born
May 14 ,
1948 ,
Kanpur ,
Uttar Pradesh ,
India ), more commonly known as '''Bob Woolmer''', is a professional
Cricket coach known for having coached the
South African Cricket Team and
Warwickshire . He currently coaches the
Pakistani Cricket Team , only the second national coach not from
Pakistan , the first being
South African Richard Pybus (1999-2000).
He played
County Cricket for
Kent , initially as an
All-rounder . He graduated to
Test Cricket with
England in
1975 again, at first, as an all-rounder, having taken a
Hat-trick for
MCC against the touring
Australian Cricket Team with his fast-medium bowling. But he was dropped after his first Test, only reappearing in the final match of the series at
The Oval where he scored 149, batting at number five, the slowest Test century ever for England against Australia. Further batting success followed over the next two seasons, including two further centuries against Australia, one in the
Centenary Test .
But Woolmer's international career stalled after he joined the
World Series Cricket break-away group run by
Kerry Packer . Though he appeared intermittently in the Test team up to 1981, he never recaptured the form of the mid 1970s.
Woolmer was also a regular in England ODI cricket from
1972 to
1976 .
He was a
Wisden Cricketer Of The Year in 1976.
