From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Toby Alexander Radford (born 3rd December 1971 Caerphilly, Glamorgan, Wales) is a Welsh cricket coach, cricketer and cricket administrator.

The son of a Welsh journalist Brian Radford, Toby represented Middlesex (1993-1995), Sussex (1996-1997) and Berkshire (1999) as an right-handed opening batsman and an occasional off-spinner in fourteen first-class matches and six List A matches. He also played for England in six Youth Tests with a personal best of 79 versus New Zealand in Auckland.

Upon leaving first-class cricket, he played two full seasons for Berkshire and served the Berkshire Cricket Board as its Cricket Development Officer. After a successful spell as Director of the Middlesex Cricket Academy at Finchley, he was appointed 1st XI Coach by Middlesex on 7th November 2007. There has also been some unrest at Middlesex as a crisis meeting was called by the Middlesex board and it is noted that Radford's job was the first topic to be mentioned.
