James William Murray Dalrymple (born 21 January 1981) is a Kenyan-born former English cricketer,who played ODIs and T20Is for England. He is a right-handed batsman and off-spin bowler.
He is perhaps best known for taking a spectacular diving catch in a One Day International against Australia in 2007.

In November 2007,he announced he was to leave Middlesex,having turned down the offer of a new contract,saying:'the time was right to seek a fresh challenge.' [1] The next day,Glamorgan announced that Dalrymple had signed a three-year deal with them. [2]
It was announced in October 2008 that Dalrymple has been appointed County Captain for the 2009 season,succeeding David Hemp.
In November 2010,he resigned from Glamorgan as a player,after being replaced as captain by incoming South African,Alviro Petersen;and,in April 2011,it was announced that he had rejoined Middlesex. [3] [4]
After contributing 505 runs and 10 wickets to Middlesex's 2011 County Championship season,Dalrymple was released at the end of the summer. [5]
