Mark Turner (cricketer, born 1984)

Turner played for England Under-19s in 2003 and 2004, taking 9–104 against Bangladesh at Taunton in 2004. He made his first-class debut for Durham in 2005 but made just 3 first-class appearances for them in 2005 and 2006 combined. He moved to Somerset where he acted as an understudy to the senior bowlers and made his maiden first-class fifty against Derbyshire in the 2007 season.^{[citation needed]}

In September 2010, it was announced that he would join Derbyshire in 2011.^[1] At the end of the 2014 season, Turner was released by Derbyshire having spent part of the season on loan at Northamptonshire.^[2]

He was known for his aggressive fast bowling in the Twenty20 form of the game, and being able to bowl at a similar pace off both a short and full-length run-up. He was also known to stutter his run-up, then suddenly start again – similar to a footballer stuttering in the run-up to a penalty kick. In the four day format of the game, he was a more conservative bowler, sometimes acting as a workhorse – bowling in good areas, at a constant pace, for long periods. He was also an accomplished fielder.
