He has stepped up to form a really formidable and consistent partnership with Tom Taylor in red ball cricket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;He is equally adept with the bat lower down the order and is exceptional in the field also.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">As well as his 88 first-class wickets for the Pears at 25.50, he is a top slip fielder and made his career-best score of 89 in this summer&#8217;s County Championship Division Two match with Middlesex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He also took career-best bowling figures of 6-42 (and match figures of 11-64) in the final game of the season against Derbyshire at Worcester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Worcestershire seamer Ben Allison has signed a new three-year deal with the Pears.
