About Richard Clinton (cricketer)

  • Richard Selvey Clinton (born 1 September 1981) is an English cricketer.
  • He is a left-handed batsman and occasional right-arm medium-pace bowler. Born in Sidcup, Kent, he made his first-class debut for Essex against Surrey in 2001.
  • He batted at number six in the first innings, making 36, but opened the batting in the second and hit 58 not out.
  • His List A debut a few days later was also personally successful, albeit in a losing cause, as he scored 56 from 57 balls against Durham; as of June 2006, this remains his highest List A score. Clinton made his maiden first-class hundred (107) against Cambridge UCCE in 2002, but left the county at the end of the season.
  • He moved to Surrey in 2004 to replace Jonathan Batty as opening batsman.
  • For the following season he competed actively for the opening batsman's position with James Benning and was given a new two-year contract at the end of 2004. Clinton enjoyed a long run in the team in 2005, hitting 811 first-class runs at 31.39 and hitting two centuries and five fifties.
  • However, he made only three appearances in the one-day game, aggregating only 21 runs from these. He has also made several first-class appearances for Loughborough UCCE, having graduated from Loughborough University in 2006. His father Grahame had a significant first-class career with Kent and Surrey, while his cousin Paul has played a handful of first-class games for Oxford UCCE.
