Hallam Moseley

Hallam Reynold Moseley (born 28 May 1948) is a former first-class cricketer who played for Somerset and Barbados in a career spanning from 1969 to 1982.

He was a right-arm fast-medium pace bowler who, in the opinion of Sir Garry Sobers, was never far away from a place in the West Indies team.

[1] Touring England at the age of 21 with a team from his native Barbados, Moseley caught the eye of Bill Andrews,[2] and with the recommendation of Sir Garry Sobers,[1] he arrived in Taunton within a year.

His relationship with the fans was exceptional; a happy, smiling, bespectacled West Indian whose distinctive under-arm returns to the wicket-keeper[2] drew whistles of admiration and envy,[1] and whose batting exploits, while unsuccessful helped turn him into a local star.

Moseley's later career suffered greatly with the two overseas players limitation, with Joel Garner and Viv Richards filling those slots whenever available.
