About Andy Bichel

Andrew John Bichel is a former Australian cricketer, who played 19 Test matches and 67 One Day Internationals for Australia between 1997 and 2004. He was a right-arm fast-medium bowler, but was also a hard-hitting lower-order batsman. Bichel was a member of the Australian team who won the 2003 Cricket World Cup. As the younger and pacier Lee was often selected ahead of him, Bichel now holds the Test match record of being twelfth man for Australia on 19 occasions. Bichel and Bevan again saved Australia, with Bichel registering his highest score of 64 as Australia put up a winning total batting first.
