Graham David Rose (born 12 April 1964 in Tottenham, England), is an English former cricketer who played county cricket for Middlesex between 1983 and 1986, and for Somerset between 1987 and 2002. He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler.
Rose played more than 250 first-class matches for Somerset, scoring over 8,500 runs and just under 600 wickets. He twice took 7 wickets in an innings with his best bowling figures being 7/47 against Nottinghamshire in 1996. He also finished that game with best match figures of 13/88. He finished his first-class career in Somerset with 588 wickets which puts him 16th on their all-time list.[1]

The record was equalled by Corey Anderson in 2014 and bettered by AB de Villiers in 2015. Rose's 50 had taken just 16 balls which is the equal third fastest of all time.[3]
