For over a decade Luke Fletcher has been a firm fan favourite at Trent Bridge. This 6'6" gentle giant never gives less than 100 per cent for Nottinghamshire, but a laugh and a joke are never far from his lips. Within the space of a week in 2017 he went from the highs of winning a Lord's cup final to suffering a serious injury. As with most events in his life, the incidents provided scope for his infectious humour, much of it self-deprecating. An uncanny ability to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and his on-off relationship with the strength and conditioning gurus has often landed him in hot water, providing ammunition for witty comebacks. But although a clever quip is never far away, the broad-beamed paceman has earned the respect of everyone in the game. He has played against - and got the better of - virtually every opponent he has faced and has a career record to be proud of. In Tales from the Front Line, 'Fletch' serves up laughs aplenty as he takes us on an anecdotal journey through our summer game.
Luke Fletcher made his first-class debut for Nottinghamshire in 2008 and quickly became an integral part of the first team in all forms of the game. A County Championship winner in 2010, he went on to take more wickets than anyone else for his beloved home county during the ensuing decade. His co-writer, sports broadcaster and journalist Dave Bracegirdle, has followed the fortunes of Nottinghamshire cricket since the 1960s.
