Richard Blakey
Richard John Blakey (born 15 January 1967) is a former English cricketer who played in two Test matches and three One Day Internationals from 1992 to 1993. Life and career Blakey was a fine wicket-keeper for Yorkshire, who made two Test appearances for England in 1992-93 during the tour to India. He was picked for his batting potential, but he made little impression and returned to the county game. As was the case for many keepers during the 1990s, the presence of Jack Russell and Alec Stewart made difficult any further England appearances. Blakey initially appeared in the Yorkshire team as a batsman in 1985, before replacing David Bairstow as the gloveman for the county. He scored a double century for England A in Zimbabwe on the 1989/90 tour, and a bright future as a specialist batsman seemed assured when he was named Cricket Writers' Club Young Cricketer of the Year in 1987. After a prolific first full county season with the bat, his batting form suffered with the extra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
