Douglas Robert Brown, (born October 29, 1969), is a Scottish cricketer, he currently plays for Warwickshire C.C.C.. He is an all-rounder who has represented both England and Scotland at One-day International level.
As a youngster Brown played football at under-18 level for Scotland, but chose to focus on cricket shortly afterwards. He first came to the attention of Warwickshire in 1992 whilst playing for Scotland, he signed for the county and made his debut in the same year. He went on to spend his entire career with the county, for whom to date he has scored over 12500 runs and taken over 850 wickets at first-class and list A cricket.
In 1997 Brown was named in England's one-day squad for their tour of India. He made his debut on December 11 in England's narrow 7-run victory over their hosts, in this game Brown took no wickets and scored 6 runs. However, it was England's next game, on December 13 against the West Indies, that Brown gave his greatest performance as an England player. He dismissed Philo Wallace with the opening ball of the game before going on to dismiss his Warwickshire teammate Brian Lara, then at the height of his powers, leg before wicket two balls later. This opening allowed England to take an easy victory. This game aside, Brown failed to excel at one-day cricket, and the 1998 tour of the West Indies was to prove his last.
During the 2003 Cricket World Cup, Brown managed the Namibian team. Outside of cricket Brown works as a PE teacher.
He played for Scotland in the 2005 ICC Trophy, taking 11 wickets in the tournament, and scoring 59 runs in the final, to help Scotland win the competition. As a result, Scotland gained temporary One-day International status, and Brown has since played ODI cricket for Scotland in the 2006 European Cricket Championships
