A tall (6'7") fast bowler, Charlie Shreck started his career late - he was 25 when he made his county debut after being spotted playing league cricket in his native Cornwall. He had appeared for Worcestershire 2nd XI in 1996, and also for Nottinghamshire 2nd XI from 1999, and for four seasons had been a regular member of the Cornwall side.
He had a reasonable first two seasons in county cricket, but missed the whole of Nottinghamshire's Championship-winning campaign in 2005 after breaking down with a stress fracture of his back. He returned with some time in New Zealand in 2005-06, and enjoyed his best summer in 2006 when he took over fifty wickets for the first time, including a hat-trick against Middlesex at Lord's. He remains a consistent, if slightly injury-prone, wicket-taker and was rewarded with an England Lions call-up while playing for Wellington during the 2007-08 winter.
