Neil Turk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neil Richard Keith Turk (born April 28, 1983, Cuckfield) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed specialist batsman with occasional right-arm medium-pace bowling.
Turk received an official berth in the Sussex squad in 2005,[1] though his debut for the county's second XI came in July 2002, and his debut for the first XI in September at Essex where he scored 36,[2] which remained his highest List A score. At the end of the 2006 season, Turk was released from Sussex, with his "perceived lack of future opportunity" cited as reason for his departure.[3] He played one first class match, scoring 24 and bowling three wicketless overs against the touring Sri Lankans in 2006. In addition to the three matches played for the senior side, Turk played 77 games for various Second XIs,[4] making 2,513 runs at a batting average of 29.91 with two centuries.[5] He also played club cricket for East Grinstead.[6]
