Terry Alderman was
a great Fast Medium, right hand swing bowler with
superb control. Alderman toured England in 1981 and
1989 with great success. Back in the 74/75 season,
he took 5 wickets for 65 in his first Sheffield Shield
match for Western Australia, but it took him longer
to break into the National side. Because of the competition
for similar types of bowlers, it took him 3 more seasons
to establish his place in the State side taking 28
in 77/78, 29 in 78/79 and 42 in 79/80 (the third best
haul in first class cricket that season). In his first
Test Match at Trent Bridge, he helped Australia to
a narrow victory, taking 9 wickets in the match at
a cost of 130. However Botham took over and England
won what became known as Botham's Ashes. Alderman
took 42 wickets in the six match series at an average
of 21.26, the biggest haul by an Australian in England.
After a shoulder injury
in the1982/3 Ashes series, he recovered to play a
full season for Kent in 1984, taking 76 wickets, and
in doing, proved his fitness and broke back into the
National side. He took 6 for 128 against the West
Indies (his best figures) in Perth the same year.
In 1985 he was part of the rebel side that toured
South Africa (he was originally picked for the tour
of England). Returning to Kent for the '86 season,
he bowled superbly, taking 98 wickets costing only
19.20 apiece. Kent missed out on his signature in
1988, Gloucestershire won it and soon saw the benefits,
Alderman took 75 wickets in the season at an average
of 22.81. In 1989, he narrowly missed out on beating
his own record of 42 wickets by 1. He ended his cricketing
career coaching Western Australia.
