About our Guests
Angus Fraser- Former Enland and Middlesex Bowler
Former England and Middlesex bowler, the seamer played 46 tests for England capturing 177 wickets and also appeared in 21 one-day internationals claiming 47 victims. Fraser played county cricket for Middlesex from 1982 until 2002 serving as county captain from 2001.
He made his England debut against Australia in the third test of the 1989 Ashes series. One of the most consistent English seam bowlers of the 1990's. Frasers finest hour came in Barbados in the 1993/94 test match where he took 8 for 75 in the first innings to help set up a famous victory, the West Indies first defeat at Bridgetown in some 50 years. Awarded the MBE in 1998, 'Gus' is also a regular voice on Radio 4′s Test Match special team and is lead cricket correspondent for the Independent newspaper. He also enjoyed a 12-year spell as Managing Director of Middlesex and is currently managing the county's community activity.
Lucy Pearson- Lord's Taverners Incoming Chair
Lucy has a 25-year career in teaching, where she became the first female Head of Cheadle Hulme School in Cheshire. She played cricket for England from 1996 to 2005 and was twice named England Women's Cricketer of the Year (2000 and 2003).
A left-arm fast-medium opening bowler, her best performance came against Australia in 2003, becoming only the second English woman in over 70 years to take 11 wickets against Australia. Her international career included over 75 matches across Tests, ODIs and the first international T20 game played anywhere in the world before injury forced her to retire.
She continued to contribute to the sport as a director of the England and Wales Cricket Board from 2017-2023.
Lucy is currently Director of Education at the Football Association, a post she has held since 2018. She believes in the power of sport to act as a force for good and is committed to making it accessible to as many people as possible, and she is the incoming Chair of the Lord's Taverners.
