Somerset Cricket Club Players Gallery – Andy Hayhurst

During a twelve-year first-class career, Andy Hayhurst played for Lancashire, Somerset and Derbyshire. An effective all-rounder, he was unable to provide the necessary push to put him up for possible international candidacy. Highlights included helping Lancashire to win the 1988 Refuge Assurance Cup, taking 4-46 in the final, and helping Lancashire to win the 1989 Refuge Assurance League. With an average nearing 58 in 1990, in his first season for Somerset, he did not make such figures for the team until 1994, when he became captain of the team for the following three years.

Hayhurst left Somerset in 1996, and in the same year he was to become the assistant coach of Derbyshire.
