Dougie Brown is one of the comparatively few Scots to have made an impact in English cricket. A notch short of true international class, he nevertheless enjoyed his moments of glory during the nine one-day internationals in which he played for England. Not least of them was in only his second appearance in Sharjah in December 1997 when he bowled West Indies opener Philo Wallace with the first ball of the match and had Brian Lara lbw with the third as he helped England to win that tournament. Brown went on the one-day section of the tour to the West Indies that winter and as a replacement for Chris Silverwood on the England A tour of Kenya and Sri Lanka. In 1998 he was included in England's squad for the first ICC knockout tournament in Bangladesh. Always a great competitor, he never once let the side down. He came to Warwickshire's attention as a Scottish international cricketer, and made his debut in 1992 before being awarded his county cap two years later. His positive right-handed batting and fast-medium bowling made a significant contribution to the seasons when Warwickshire were the dominant county in English cricket, and he continues to make an impact in both first-class and limited-overs matches. He was awarded a benefit year by Warwickshire in 2005 and has shown no signs of slowing down his playing career. His contributions for Scotland have become a central part of their success in recent years, and he was a key figure as they finished runners up at the World Cricket League in Kenya. He now has the belated chance of a World Cup. Outside cricket, he is a qualified teacher of physical education and he played football for Scotland at Under-18 level, appearing at Hampden Park. 2007 proved a busy year in terms of appointments, taking on the role of PCA chairman and then becoming Warwickshire's Academy Director.
