Alan Richardson (born 6 May 1975) is a retired English cricketer who is the head coach for Worcestershire.
He played for Derbyshire,Warwickshire,Middlesex,and Worcestershire.
Richardson was educated at Stafford College and Durham University. [1]
An opening bowler,he made his first-class debut for Derbyshire in 1995 and,though he did not make a contribution with the bat,his three wickets showed potential. He played one match for Staffordshire in the Minor Counties Championship in 1998. Staffordshire received the trophy having had a better record in the qualifying tournament.[ citation needed ]
He first appeared in the County Championship in 1999,for Warwickshire,and made it to the first team in 2000. Warwickshire were to finish high in the Second Division the following year,and in their return to Division One in season 2002,they were to impress greatly,finishing the season in second place. Though his bowling was minimal for the next few years,a move to Middlesex revitalised his career and proved him capable to remain fit throughout a season.[ citation needed ]
Desperate to keep Middlesex in the hunt to consolidate their Division One placing,Richardson played solidly throughout season 2005,though he played only one match in 2006. Richardson was a tailend batsman for the Warwickshire team and continued in this role with Middlesex.[ citation needed ]
At the end of the 2009 season,having only played six County Championship games for Middlesex,Richardson signed for Worcestershire on a two-year contract. He was offered a coaching/playing role at Middlesex but expressed his desire to continue playing nearer to home.[ citation needed ]
In 2012,Richardson was named one of Wisden Cricketers of the Year for his performances in the 2011 season.[ citation needed ]
In nine days in May 2013 he took 24 wickets in consecutive matches:5 for 41 and 7 for 22 against Kent at Canterbury, [2] then 8 for 37 and 4 for 70 against Gloucestershire at Worcester, [3] for combined figures of 84.2–29–170–24.
In spite of his reputation as "one of the real 'bunnies' in terms of batting on the county circuit", [4] Richardson broke a number of batting records on 16 May 2002. In spite of having struck just 82 runs in his previous 31 first-class innings,Richardson made his only first-class half-century in a match against Hampshire,going onto score 91,the then highest ever score by a no.11 batsman for Warwickshire in a first-class match. [4] Richardson's tenth-wicket partnership with Nick Knight added 214. This was the fifth best in County Championship history,and is still as of 2022 Warwickshire's record for the tenth wicket. [4]
On 6 January 2014,Richardson announced his retirement from first-class cricket.[ citation needed ]
He was appointed Warwickshire's new bowling coach upon his retirement. [5]
He was appointed Worcestershire head coach in November 2022.
Richardson is a lifelong fan of Stoke City Football Club.
Middlesex County Cricket Club in 2005 played their cricket in Division One of the County Championship and Division Two of the totesport League. They started the season at 9–1 to win the County Championship title.
Timothy Alan Munton is an English cricketer. He had a long career in county cricket,playing over 500 games combined between first-class and List A,primarily with Warwickshire before ending his career at Derbyshire. He also played two Test matches for England in the 1992 series against Pakistan,and went on a number of England A tours. A medium pace bowler and lower order batsman,cricket writer Colin Bateman stated,"at 6ft 6in,with an ability to make the ball swing,Munton is at his best in English conditions". His time at Warwickshire was a particularly successful one for the club,winning 6 trophies between 1993 and 1995;as a crucial part of that side,Munton was honoured as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1995.
The 2006 English cricket season was the 107th in which the County Championship had been an official competition. It included home international series for England against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. England came off a winter with more Test losses than wins,for the first time since 2002-03,but still attained their best series result in India since 1985. The One Day International series against Pakistan and India both ended in losses.
1947 was the 48th season of County Championship cricket in England. It is chiefly remembered for the batting performances of Denis Compton and Bill Edrich who established seasonal records that,with the subsequent reduction in the number of first-class matches,will probably never be broken. Their form was key to their team Middlesex winning the County Championship for the first time since 1921,although they were involved in a tight contest for the title with the eventual runners-up Gloucestershire,for whom Tom Goddard was the most outstanding bowler of the season. Compton and Edrich were assisted by the fact that it was the driest and sunniest English summer for a generation,ensuring plenty of good batting wickets.
