About Peter Denning (cricketer)

  • Peter William Denning (16 December 1949 – 17 July 2007) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Somerset from 1969 to 1984.
  • He was known to Somerset cricket fans as 'Dasher' due to his "pace over the ground", and he was also known for an unorthodox stroke called the 'Chewton carve' or 'Chewton chop', a stroke that cut the ball away between the slips and the covers.
  • Denning was a left-handed top order (often opening) batsman and scored 1,000 runs in a season on six occasions.
