Quinton Friend (February 16, 1982—) is a South African domestic cricketer who played for Western Province (later the Cape Cobras) and now plays for the Dolphins.[1]
Friend, who was born in Cape Town, debuted for the Warriors in 2002 in List-A cricket, and in 2002 in first class cricket at Pietermaritzburg.[1] He took career best figures of 3/36 against Western Province Boland in a one day match on November 17, 2004,[2] and the following year in January 2005 he took 5/93 in one day again against Western Province in a first class match,[3] ending with final figures of 6/114.[4] Against Western Province again Friend was the pick of the bowlers with 4/65 on March 2, 2006 during a one day game,[5]
In 2007, Western Provinces merged with Boland to become the Cape Cobras, who then released Friend on July 12, 2007 to join the Dolphins.[6] He led them to victory against the Titans on October 22, 2007,[7] however eight days later was suspended for one match along with Titans' Martin van Jaarsveld for verbal abuse.[8]
