Peter Hugh L'Estrange Wilson (born 17 August 1958) played first-class and List A cricket for Surrey and Somerset in England and for Northern Transvaal in South Africa.[1] He was born at Guildford, Surrey.
Wilson was a tall, strongly-built fast bowler and tail-end batsman. Early in his career he was close to Test selection, but problems with his action affected his progress.[2] He holds an odd record, in that he was not dismissed until his 18th first-class match, by which time he had batted seven times and scored 29 runs.[3]
