About Andy Pick
- Robert Andrew Pick (born 19 November 1963 in Nottingham) is a former English cricketer, and is the former coach of the England Under-19 team and the Canadian national team.
- He is currently the ICC High Performance Manager for the Americas Region. An express-pace bowler, Pick played county cricket for Nottinghamshire.
- He made a somewhat inauspicious first-class debut against Hampshire in July 1983, returning first-innings figures of 20-3-101-0.
- During this match he also made his List A debut in the John Player League, taking 1-56 from eight overs, his victim being Mark Nicholas.
- Pick's maiden first-class wicket finally arrived in the second innings of his third game, when he dismissed Yorkshire's Martyn Moxon, but he ended the season with a dismal record of just seven first-class wickets.
- He received notoriety for his personal record pace of 95 mph. Pick had a better 1984 season, taking 25 wickets at an average of a shade under 31, and from then until 1995 he was a regular in the Nottinghamshire first team, amassing almost 750 wickets in all forms of the game.
- His best years came in the early 1990s: after a winter in New Zealand with Wellington during which he topped the bowling averages and helped Wellington to win the Shell Trophy, in 1990 he recorded his best bowling figures, 7-128 against Leicestershire, and that winter he travelled with the England A team, claiming 21 first-class wickets in Sri Lanka at just 17 runs apiece.
- He continued his good form in the summer, taking a career best 67 wickets in the English season.
- He again toured with England A to the West indies and Bermuda, playing in two of the three Tests.
- His final England experience came in 1996 when he represented England in the Hong Kong Sixes. In 1994, Pick hit his highest first-class score of 65 not out - batting at number ten - against Northamptonshire, but by this time his playing days were numbered, and his last appearances came in the 1997 season.
- He went wicketless in his final first-class game, against Yorkshire, but in one-day cricket he signed off in style, with 3-17 in a ten-wicket hammering of Staffordshire in the NatWest Trophy.
- He finished his playing career having been involved in teams that had won all the domestic honours. After retiring from top-level cricket, Pick played a handful of times for Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire before turning to coaching where he achieved his ECB Level 4 qualification, the games Elite Coaching Qualification.
- He coached the England Under-19 team in the 2004 & 2006 U-19 World Cup before being appointed by the Canadian Cricket Association in March 2006 [1] to coach that country's national team in the run-up to the 2007 World Cup.
- Canada performed admirably against both England and New Zealand and scored over 200 in both games, the only Associate team to pass that figure.
- He also had two spells as Bowling Coach at Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. After the World Cup both Pick and the Canadians tried to broker a deal for him to remain but in the end he returned to England, taking charge once again of the England Under-19 team to the 2008 ICC U19 World Cup.
- During his time as England U19 Coach he worked closely with Alistair Cook, Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan, amongst others and during this time he established a reputation as a leading Fast Bowling Coach. In 2009 he left the England set up to become ICC High Performance Manager for the Americas Region. Pick is the brother-in-law of David Millns, and the two played in the same Nottinghamshire team on a number of occasions.
