Max Thomas Charles Waller (born 3 March 1988) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a leg break bowler. He plays first-class cricket for Somerset County Cricket Club, and after impressing in the Second XI he was awarded a first team contract.

Career

Waller made his debut for the first team in a Friends Provident Trophy match against Kent early in the 2009 season,[1] finishing the game with modest figures of 1/46.[2] His real breakthrough came in the Twenty20 Cup, where he impressed, playing all but two of the group stage games, and taking 10 wickets at 20.80.[3] At the end of the 2009 season, he was named as part of the ECB Performance Programme 'C' squad to travel to South Africa.[4]

Waller did not appear for Somerset in first-class cricket in the 2010 season, after the county signed Murali Kartik, and favoured Michael Munday early in the year. Waller did play occasional games in both the Clydesdale Bank 40 and Friends Provident t20 competitions. In nine Clydesdale Bank 40 matches during the season, Waller claimed four wickets at an bowling average of 61.50,[5] while he did not claim any wickets in the Twenty20, bowling just three overs across his two appearances.[6] He also made two appearances for Dorset during the year, and claimed four wickets in the Minor Counties Championship Final against Lincolnshire, helping Dorset to a 135 run victory.[7]
