#8 Richard Illingworth
He might be better known these days as an ICC elite panel umpire, but back in the day, Richard Illingworth was an excellent restrictive slow left-arm orthodox bowler for Worcestershire and also played for England on a handful of occasions. Illingworth wasn't the craftiest of spinners but he was doggedly accurate and induced risks from batsmen.
This trait made him a vital member of the English one day team that made it to the final of the 1992 World Cup. He played 25 one dayers and 9 Tests for England. His Worcestershire spanned 18 years and in a fruitful first-class career, he captured 831 wickets at an average of 31.54.
