Dallas Moir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dallas Moir (born April 13, 1957) was a Maltese-born Scottish cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1981 and 1985.

Moir had made his Second XI debut for Warwickshire in 1980, and made his Derbyshire debut against the Bears in the Second XI Championship a year later. He appeared for the first time in the County Championship in the same year, taking one wicket on his first-class debut. The 1981 season was to prove mediocre for Derbyshire, and he was to find himself almost as inactive in the first team as he was in the Second XI.

Moir's breakthrough came in the 1982 season, as he found himself elevated to the first team, where he stayed for three years. He finished playing first-class cricket in 1986, after representing Scotland in an innings victory against Ireland. Moir's sole century innings came against Warwickshire in July 1984. Moir's twin brother, Jeremy, played first-class cricket for Scotland in the NatWest Trophy and the Benson and Hedges Cup between 1989 and 1992.
