A patient, wristy batsman and a useful offspinner, Mark Wagh made his debut for Warwickshire, the county of his birth, in 1998. Over the next six years he became one of the county's most consistent batsmen, twice scoring over 1,000 runs in a first-class season. Wagh was banned from bowling by the ECB in 2000 after being called for throwing towards the end of the season, but came back well in 2001 after remodelling his action over the winter. He was the surprise match-winner in Warwickshire's game against Nottinghamshire at Edgbaston, taking three wickets in his first two overs to set up a 139-run victory.
