Ossie Wheatley

Oswald Stephen Wheatley CBE (born 28 May 1935) is a former cricketer who played for Cambridge University, Warwickshire and Glamorgan, whom he captained from 1961 to 1966. Wheatley was born at Low Fell, Gateshead, County Durham. He was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. A tall, fair-haired right-arm fast-medium bowler, he came to prominence for Cambridge University in 1958 when he set the record for the most wickets in the university's abbreviated season with 80 first-class wickets for under 18 each. He played in the university holidays for Warwickshire with very limited success but in 1959 joined that county full-time, taking 100 wickets in the season though at a rather high cost. He repeated the feat in 1960, but at the end of the seas
