Hernan Pereyra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hernan Pereyra (born March 10, 1970) is an Argentine cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler who has played for Argentina since 1990.

Pereyra made his debut for Argentina against Papua New Guinea in the 1990 competition, where he fell to the bowling of Vavine Pala. He appeared in all seven matches in 1990, and reappeared for the 1994 competition. Pereyra scored one of the lowest averages of the Argentina team during the 1994 ICC Trophy, and the team finished in second-bottom position in the table, higher only than the East and Central African cricket team.

Three years later, the 1997 competition brought more pain for the Argentine team, though he had relinquished eleventh in the batting lineup to his younger team-mate Maximiliano Riveros, who lasted merely for one ICC Trophy series before being dropped from the team.

Pereyra's next competition was the 2000 Americas Championship, in which he appeared three times before featuring, seven months later, in a series attended by Marylebone Cricket Club in Argentina, in which Argentina lost both matches. Pereyra featured for Argentina in Division Two Group B, in the 2001 ICC Trophy Competition, finishing in second place, behind only the undefeated Ugandans.

Since playing in the ICC Trophy for the last time, he has played in the Americas Championship competitions of 2002 and 2004. Most recently, he played in the ICC World Cricket League Americas Region Division One competition of 2006, having helped the team get promoted from Division Two the previous season.

Pereyra is a lower-order batsman for the Argentina who has been a consistent bowler throughout the last sixteen years of continental competition.
