Michael May (cricketer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael May (born July 22, 1971) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1989 and 1999.

He made his debut appearances for Derbyshire at the 1989 Second XI Trophy, however he made a contribution neither with bat or ball. Appearing steadily in the same competition until 1996, it was then that he began to make an impact in the first team, debuting against a combined team of Indian batsmen and bowlers from around the country.

Far from disgracing himself, he almost managed to score a half century on debut, turning out the next week for his debut County championship match. He played in the County Championship regularly for two seasons, before making his final appearances as a cricketer in the Second XI trophy in July 1999, leaving Derbyshire soon after, and emigrating to Australia.
