Tim Phillips (cricketer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tim Phillips (born March 13, 1981) is an English cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler. He has played for Essex for seven years since his debut in 1999, despite finding himself out of action for dead on two years and returning for Essex's Second Division third place finish in 2002.

After the close of the 2002 season, Phillips suffered a crushing cruciate ligament injury which left him unable to play for the next two years. In 2005, his return season, Phillips famously bowled Kevin Pietersen, playing his first home game for Hampshire, for a five-ball duck. More recently, Phillips has taken part in the Twenty20 cup of 2006, turning in some sturdy bowling performances and employing clever technique, helping his team reach the semi-final stage for the first time.
