John Walters (cricketer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Walters (born August 7, 1949) was an English cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1977 and 1980.

Walters first played for Derbyshire during a positive 1977 season which saw the team finish seventh in the County Championship. Though he debuted as a tailending batsman, the presence of Philip Russell as a tailender and a forceful bowler changed Walters' role to that of a lower-order player.

Walters continued to play for the Derbyshire team in limited overs cricket until 1980. He was part of the Derbyshire team which reached the Benson & Hedges Cup semi-finals of 1979.
