Joel Garner made his Somerset debut against Australia at Bath in 1977 and went on to feature in 94 First Class matches and and 128 List A matches for the County.
During his time with Somerset, he claimed 338 First Class wickets at an average of 18.10 with a best of eight for 31. He was equally destructive in List A cricket, taking 206 wickets at 15.15 with a best of six for 29 against Northamptonshire in the 1979 Gillette Cup final.
The West Indian pace bowler was an integral element of the Somerset “Glory Years” side of the late 70s and early 80s which dominated the domestic one-day game.
The evening will see “Big Bird” look back on his time with the Club and discuss his cricketing career. He will also be answering questions from attendees throughout the night.
Dress code is smart/casual.
The bar will be open for the duration of the evening.
