Mike Hendricks was a right arm medium pace swing bowler. He took 87 wickets in 30 Tests for England at an average of 25.83

Hendrick played a part in two winning Ashes series. He also excelled in ODIs where economy-rate of 3.27 remains the best of any England bowler, as does his average of 19. 

But he was an unlucky bowler, developing a reputation for beating the bat. It was Hendrick's misfortune his career coincided with Botham and Willis.

Hendricks died in 2021 at the age of 72 after battling bowel and liver cancer.
