Richard Clarke profile

  • Role: Right Handed Top Order Batsman and Off Break Bowler
    Nickname: Clarkey & Rickle
    Barbarians No: 18

    Rickle is an excellent all round cricketer and he has been a vital member of the Borough over the last 10 seasons. Since 2012, Rickle only played Twenty20 cricket for our Barbarians side.

    He put on a string of outstanding performances in 2012 which won him the Barbarians Player of the Year Award and he also struck more sixes than any other batsman. He scored 205 runs at just under 70 and struck two 50s.

    He is an excellent bat who is capable of batting anywhere on the score sheet, but prefers to bat at the top of the order. Over the years he has got both the first and second eleven sides off to excellent starts as he always takes a positive approach and he is not afraid of hitting the ball over the top from word go.

    As a bowler, Rickle is something of a golden arm, who is always capable of picking up crucial wickets. He is very effective in Twenty20 cricket and does a great holding role with ball. Last season he picked up 13 wickets for The Barbarians at an average of 11.54. 

    Rickle is also a top fielder who is an excellent at the point and in the covers. Rickle originally joined the Borough in 2002 after learning his cricket as a colt at Eastcote.
