he had previously played for a couple of years in the worcestershire seconds , being the county 's leading bowler at that level in 1995 .
comfortably preece 's best performance came against south africa a in august , when he took six wickets , including a career-best 4-79 in the first innings .
he was released by worcestershire on the grounds of `` limited opportunities at first-team level '' at the end of the 1996 season , and then appeared very briefly at second xi level for sussex and surrey .
