Jonathan Moss (cricketer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jonathan Moss (born May 4, 1975) is an Australian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who has played for the Victorian Bushrangers since 2001.

The Sydney native first played cricket for Hampshire's Second XI in one game in 2000, before moving back to his home country and playing for Victoria. His exploits as a middle-order batsman in the Victorian team got them to the finals of the 2001 and 2004 Pura Cup finals, the latter of which they won thanks to a first-innings total of 710 all out, the highest score in either a Sheffield Shield or Pura Cup final, while Moss himself averaged around 60 for the tournament.

After a performance of this style, Moss was soon packing his bags for England, where he appeared almost two months later for Derbyshire for the first time. Despite struggling to make himself a part of the first team during his first two seasons at the club, and despite a failed transfer request to back to New South Wales, keeps in a consistent vein of form for the Peakites.
