That rare thing, an English wrist spinner, Tom Craddock impressed Essex after playing against them for the Unicorns in 2011. A few weeks later, Craddock made his first-class debut against the touring Sri Lankans and, after a two-month trial, he was offered a full contract. In 2013, he took a five-wicket haul - including Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell and Matt Prior - against England, in their Ashes warm-up, only for the match to be stripped of its first-class status.
