Playing career
Emburey was a right arm spin bowler and a slightly eccentric lower-order batsman with the style of a grafter. He was more notable as an economical performer than a "demon" spin bowler, but on his day could leave the best batsmen groping outside off-stump. One of his dangerous balls was his arm ball outswinger.
Emburey was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1984. The Wisden Cricketers of the Year are Cricketers selected for the honour by the annual publication Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, based primarily on their Year 1984 ( MCMLXXXIV) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1984 Gregorian calendar)
Emburey was briefly made England Test captain in 1988, the notorious "Summer of four captains"([1]).

Mike Gatting was sacked after the first Test match against the West Indies and Emburey was appointed for two matches, both of which were lost. Michael William Gatting OBE (born Kingsbury 6 June 1957 usually known as Mike, was an English Cricketer who played First-class cricket Test cricket is the longest form of the Sport of Cricket.

Graham Alan Gooch, OBE (born July 23 1953) is a former Cricketer who captained Essex and England.
Emburey was the only cricketer to go on both the England rebel tours to South Africa in 1981/2 and 1989/90; the rebels were banned from Test match cricket because of the apartheid régime. The South African cricket team, also known as The Proteas are a national Cricket team representing South Africa Year 1981 ( MCMLXXXI) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link displays the 1981 Year 1982 ( MCMLXXXII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar) Year 1989 ( MCMLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays 1989 Gregorian calendar) Year 1990 ( MCMXC) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar) Cricket is a bat-and-ball team Sport that originated in England and is now played in more than 100 countries
Later in his test career Emburey tended to be picked for single Tests in England, as happened in 1993 against Australia and 1995 against the West Indies.
At county level, Emburey's Middlesex career coincided with that of Phil Edmonds. Philippe-Henri Edmonds (born March 8, 1951, Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia) is a former English Cricketer and a successful The right and left arm spin combination was a powerful contribution towards Middlesex's successes in the 1980s. They also combined at England level, although the pair often competed for the same place in the Test team. A highlight of Emburey's Middlesex career was taking 12 wickets in a single day in a championship match at Lord's in 1980.
Emburey holds the dubious distinction of being the highest England test run-scorer never to have made a test century.
Until Mark Pettini beat it in 2006, Emburey held the batting record for the highest innings made entirely from boundaries. Mark Lewis Pettini (born August 7, 1983 in Brighton) is an English Cricketer He is a right-handed batsman Despite his chronic lack of footwork, he scored 46 for the England XI against Tasmania at Hobart in 1986-87, with ten fours and a six.
He was second choice for the post of Indian National Coach after Graham Ford rejected the role. He also has rejected the role.
