James Graham-Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Graham-Brown (born July 11, 1951) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Kent, Derbyshire, and Dorset between 1974 and 1991.

Graham-Brown, who had been a part of the Kent Second XI since 1972, made his County Championship debut in 1974. Bowling at a steady pace, he scored a duck in an innings defeat. After a poor vein of form, he played merely once throughout the entirety of 1975, once again scoring a duck against Oxford University. After a 1976 season of mediocrity, in which Kent finished in fourteenth place, Graham-Brown moved to Derbyshire in time for the start of the 1977 season.

Graham-Brown's two years with the Peakites were to prove erratic, but after a healthy stint in the first team he was to give up the first-class game in 1978. Graham-Brown took to Minor Counties Cricket in 1981, playing for Dorset until 1983, and between 1989 and 1991.

Graham-Brown's great-uncle, Lionel Blaxland, played first-class cricket for Derbyshire, primarily between 1932 and 1935.
