About Richard Paull

  • Richard Kenyon Paull (born 20 March 1944) played first-class cricket for Somerset in six matches in 1963 and 1964 and for Cambridge University in seven games in 1967.
  • He was born at Bridgwater, Somerset. Educated at Millfield School, Paull was a right-handed batsman and an infrequent leg-break bowler.
  • He made his debut for Somerset in a single match against Cambridge University in 1963, scoring 13, and maintained this as his career average throughout his short career.
  • As a student at Hull University over the next three years, he played only in the second half of each first-class season, and in fact appeared in first-class matches for Somerset only in 1964, when he again averaged exactly 13.
  • His highest first-class score for Somerset was just 21 not out, made in the match against Sussex at Glastonbury in 1964.
  • From 1965 to 1967, he played only for Somerset's second eleven in both the Second Eleven Championship and the Minor Counties Championship.
  • Having graduated from Hull, though, he reappeared in first-class cricket for Cambridge University, where he was on a one-year postgraduate course, in 1967 and, as with his earlier career with Somerset, he again averaged just 13 with the bat, though he supplemented that with occasional bowling.
  • In the match against Derbyshire at Ilkeston he scored 37, and this was his highest first-class score.
  • Despite the modest record, he was awarded a Blue and in the match against a much stronger Oxford University he scored 0 and 21 as Cambridge managed to achieve a draw after being made to follow on.
  • Though he played for Somerset's second eleven to the end of the 1967 season, he did not return to first-class cricket.
