Gordon Parsons

Gordon Parsons

Gordon James Parsons is a first class cricketer [1]. A burly medium fast bowler, he was born in 1959 in Slough and played most of his cricket for Leicestershire, although he also appeared for Boland, Buckinghamshire, Griqualand West, Orange Free State, Orange Free State Country Districts and Warwickshire during his first class career which spanned from 1978 to 1997.

Nicknamed Bullhead on the county circuit, he made up with aggression what he lacked in natural pace and took 809 first class wickets with his right arm seamers, picking up another 356 in one day games. He took five wickets in an innings 19 times, with a best of 9 for 72. He was also a useful lower order batsman, scoring 6763 first class runs with 29 fifties and a top score of 76. The brother-in-law of Hansie Cronje, he went on to coach the Highveld Lions in South Africa.
