Brian Charles Rose (born 4 June 1950)[1] is an English former cricketer, who played in nine Test matches and two One Day Internationals (ODIs) for the England cricket team between 1977 and 1981.
Rose was educated at
Weston-super-Mare Grammar School for Boys.[2]
He trained as a teacher before pursuing a successful county career with John Player League, in 1979. The team was a potent blend of world-class match winners in Ian Botham, Viv Richards and Joel Garner
, county professionals and keen youngsters.
Rose made the
Benson and Hedges Cup zonal match after one over, to ensure their progress through the group on run-rate. While within the rules, Somerset were ejected from the competition for bringing the game into disrepute, and Rose was condemned in the press.[3]
Rose was called up by England for the 1977-8 tours of Pakistan and New Zealand, after a number of players (such as
one-day international debut,[4]
and he was dropped for two years after his fifth Test.
Helped perhaps by
Old Trafford.[5] He developed eye problems, had to return early from the tour of West Indies that year,[6] and batted with glasses for the rest of his career.[1]
In 270 first-class matches he scored 13,236 runs at 33.25 with a career best of 205. He resumed teaching after retiring from the first-class game, but maintained his involvement with Somerset. In 2007 he was named part of the committee to review English cricket after the defeat in the 2006-7
Glamorgan.[8]
