Wayne Larkins (born 22 November 1953) is a former English cricketer, who represented Northamptonshire, Durham and Bedfordshire as an opening batsman throughout his career.
He was selected to play for England as Graham Gooch's opening partner on tours of Australia and the West Indies.
Although a talented player, Larkins is considered as something of an underachiever at the top level.
County bowlers such as Jonathan Agnew spoke of being "Nedded" when he performed well against them.
The cricket correspondent, Colin Bateman, opined, "Larkins was usually ignored when he should have been selected and selected when he should have been ignored in a career of unfulfilled potential.
A destructive opening bat who could demolish any attack if he got going, 'Ned' tired of waiting for England and joined the 1982 rebel tour to South Africa".
