Derek DeVere

Played his first game in 1975 and quickly established as the most prolific bowler in the 2XI, spearheading the most dominant period in the teams history with 4 league titles and twice runners up in 6 years and also took 6-50 in Beverley Smith Cup Final in 1978. Despite the large number of wickets taken never progressed into the 1XI. When he left in 1985 Derek had taken more wickets in the 2XI than any other player (Geoff Appleby has since overtaken his total).
