Daniel Mark Williams (born December 1981) is an English cricketer. Williams is a right-handed batsman who bowls right-arm medium-fast. He was born in Newbury, Berkshire.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 20-metre (22-yard) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each player. Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground. When ten players have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information.
Seam bowling is a bowling technique in cricket whereby the ball is deliberately bowled on to its seam, to cause a random deviation. Practitioners are known as seam bowlers or seamers.
Newbury is a market town in Berkshire, England, which is home to the administrative headquarters of West Berkshire.
Williams made his debut for Berkshire in the 2001 Minor Counties Championship against Dorset. He made a further appearance for Berkshire in the 2003 Minor Counties Championship against Cheshire.
