Paul Anthony Munden (born 5 November 1938) is a former English cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket for Leicestershire between 1957 and 1964. [1] He was a left-handed middle-order batsman. He was born at Barrow upon Soar in Leicestershire.
His brothers,Vic and Donald,also played first-class cricket for Leicestershire.
Ten years younger than his brother Vic,who played regularly for Leicestershire between 1946 and 1957,Paul Munden's first-class career overlapped with Vic's by only a single game,the match against Oxford University in which he made his debut in June 1957. [2] When Paul Munden returned to the Leicestershire first team later in the season it was as a direct replacement for Vic,who had played in the previous match and who did not play any further first-team cricket thereafter. Paul Munden's first-class cricket overlapped with the shorter first-class career of his other brother,Donald Munden,and they played alongside each other as middle order batsmen in two matches in the 1961 season.
Paul Munden himself had an irregular first-class career and never appeared in more than 11 matches in a season. [3] He passed 50 in five innings,but his highest score was only 77,made in 1963 against Sussex,and in no season did his batting average rise above 20 runs per innings. [4] In 1964 he had a particularly poor batting season and though he appeared in his only List A match that year it was his last season in senior cricket. [3] He continued to play intermittently for Leicestershire's second eleven through to 1976. [5]
