Description

Beckenham, Kent born right-hand batsman Peter Foster played thirty first class matches for Kent and Oxford University between 1936 and 1946, and was awarded his County cap by Kent in 1939, having made 107 against Leicestershire at Leicester. However his career was then interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War and he made only a brief return to first class cricket with Kent after the War. In addition to his hundred, he also made 3 half centuries averaging 18.37 in first class play, also taking 16 catches in those matches.

A member of the famous “Fostershire” family who dominated Worcestershire cricket for the first thirty years of the County’s existence, his father Geoffrey and six uncles all played first class cricket, with Tip Foster playing for England, and his brother in law Gerry Chalk was also a cricketer who played with him at Kent and Oxford University, who was killed in action in the Second World War when shot down over France in 1943.
