Jim Allenby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jim Allenby (born September 12, 1982) is an Australian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. He was born in Perth, Western Australia to English Parents.

Allenby began playing senior cricket for Durham CB, though he only played one game for the team and it was a further three years before he made another first-class or List A appearance. Allenby played one limited overs match during the 2005 season, and his first County Championship appearance, for his new team, Leicestershire, a year later, though his debut saw him make little impact with either bat or ball.

Allenby has become a regular player in the Leicestershire middle-order, with one century at first-class level so far under his belt, achieved against Essex in his very first County Championship game.

In the English off-season at the start of calendar year 2007 he played one game for Western Australia, having previously played for their Under-19 team between 2000 and 2002.
