Timeline

1954

Alan Raymond Butcher (born 7 January 1954) is a former English cricketer who is part of a family known for its strong cricketing connections.

1972

He began playing for Surrey in 1972 as a bowler, but started opening the batting in 1975.

He stayed with Surrey for 15 years.

1979

When Grahame Clinton joined Surrey in 1979, the two formed a successful and longstanding opening partnership.

In 1979, he was picked to play for England against India in a Test match at The Oval, but he did not settle, and only managed scores of 14 and 20.

1980

He was not selected for England in Test matches again (although he did play one one-day international against Australia in 1980), in spite of the opinion of the then England captain Mike Brearley, who rated him one of the top players of fast bowling in the county game.

During his time with Surrey, he averaged between 1,300 and 1,700 runs each season.

1982

In 1982, Butcher made 86 not out in the final as Surrey won the NatWest Trophy.

1984

They shared in nineteen century opening stands for Surrey, including one of 277 against Yorkshire in 1984.

1986

In 1986, Surrey declined to renew his contract and he seriously considered retiring as a cricketer.

However, Glamorgan approached him with an offer of a team place which he accepted.

1989

He eventually rose to captain Glamorgan in 1989, before retiring in 1992.

He made 22,667 runs in first-class matches in 684 innings, with 46 hundreds and a high score of 216 not out.

1990

His most productive season was 1990, when he scored 2,116 runs at 58.77, which contributed to his being selected as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in the 1991 edition.

He also took 141 wickets in his career at 38.53, with a best innings analysis of 6 for 48.

Butcher followed his playing career with coaching roles at Essex and Surrey.

1991

Although only selected to play for England on one occasion, he was lauded for his skills in first-class cricket and was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1991.

In 1991, Mark and Alan Butcher played against each other in a Sunday League match at The Oval, on the occasion of Mark's Surrey debut.

1992

In his first County Championship match since 1992, Butcher senior scored 22 and 12.

1993

He became Essex coach in 1993, and coached Surrey between 2005 and 2008.

Cricket writer, Colin Bateman noted Butcher was, "a popular and accomplished left-handed opener, unlucky to be consigned to membership of the 'One Cap Club'... despite consistent county performances and an ability to tackle quick bowlers, Butcher was passed over".

Born in Croydon, Surrey, Butcher played his earliest organised cricket with Beckenham under-11's. His parents moved to Australia where he spent five and a half of his formative years during which time he played for Glenelg youth team.

His performances there won him their Junior Cricketer award for outstanding play and a selection to the South Australia under-15 team.

Had his parents stayed in Australia, he would likely have joined the senior side and later been eligible to play for Australia as his adopted country.

However, his parents chose to move back to England.

Cricket is a strong tradition in Alan Butcher's family.

His two brothers, Martin and Ian, both played first-class cricket and both of his sons have also gone on to do so.

His elder son, Mark found fame playing for, and also captaining, Surrey and was for some time a mainstay batsman for England, not suffering the one-Test fate of his father.

The younger, Gary, has also played for Surrey and Glamorgan.

1998

However, he made a surprise comeback as a player for Surrey in 1998, at the age of 44, when injury left them short of players.

His recall coincided with the day his son Mark Butcher made his maiden Test century for England against South Africa.

2006

Having been Surrey's Assistant Coach, he was appointed the Chief Coach for the 2006 season.

2008

He left his post following Surrey's relegation from the 1st Division of the County Championship in 2008.

2009

Mark Butcher announced his retirement from cricket in 2009.

Butcher was a left-handed opening batsman with an aggressive playing style and a fondness for hitting shots off the back foot, although he started his career as a left-arm fast-medium bowler.

2010

From 4 March 2010 until early 2013 Butcher was the head coach of the Zimbabwe national cricket team.

Butcher was highly credited for reviving Zimbabwean cricket as the national and domestic game greatly improved.

When Butcher took over, the team's confidence was at an all-time low.

Butcher gave that side more confidence and responsibility.

In return, the Zimbabwean team defeated Australia and Pakistan in the warm-ups of the 2010 ICC World Twenty20, but struggled in the main event.
