About James Boiling

  • James Boiling (born 8 April 1968) was an Indian-born English cricketer.
  • He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler.
  • He was born in New Delhi and educated at Rutlish School in Merton, south London. Boiling's first-class career began in 1988, when he was signed by Surrey after appearing for them in the Second XI the previous year.
  • This came straight off the back of appearing in all eight of the England Young Cricketers' appearances in the Youth World Cup of 1988.
  • Boiling became a part of the Surrey first team during the 1991 season, which saw an improvement on the team's performance the previous year.
  • However, as a tailender for the team, Boiling had one of the weakest averages of the season.
  • In the same year, he was on the losing side in the NatWest Trophy final, which was played against Hampshire. After a disappointing 1992 season, Boiling toured with the England A team to Australia in the winter tour, and played two games against domestic Australian teams.
  • He returned to the Surrey team in 1994, where he helped to partner onetime Test player Joey Benjamin in the tailend.
  • However, this was to prove his final year in the side, as he signed to Durham in time for 1995. During 1995, Boiling hit his best-ever innings total of 69, one of only two half-centuries he scored during his career.
  • Boiling played several matches during the first half of the winless 1996 season, and when he returned to cricketing action in the spring of 1997, he retained a decent economy rate as a bowler.
  • Durham underperformed during 1997, and with it came a dip in Boiling's form.
  • At the end of this season he was never to play another first-class match, though he remained in the Limited Overs side for one final season. Boiling hit one ten-wicket match in his career, with best bowling figures of 6-84.
  • He was a tailender throughout nearly ten years playing in both first-class and limited overs cricket.
