Richard Dumbrill (born 19 November 1938) is a former South African cricketer who played in five Test matches between July 1965 and January 1967.[1]
Dumbrill attended Durban High School[2] and played cricket for the South African Schools XI in 1957.[3] He made his first-class debut for Natal in the Currie Cup in the 1960–61 season as a lower middle-order batsman and medium-pace bowler, taking six wickets against Orange Free State.[4]
Dumbrill was selected to tour England in 1965, and played in all three Tests. In his first Test, he took 3 for 31 and 4 for 30 against England at Lord's.[5]
Dumbrill's best first-class bowling figures were 5 for 36 and 5 for 38 for Transvaal against North Eastern Transvaal in 1967–68, his final season.[6] His highest score was 94, the highest score in the match, when Natal beat Eastern Province by an innings in 1963–64.[7]
Following his cricket career, Dumbrill emigrated from South Africa to the United States where he married and had two children. He currently lives in the Boston area.[citation needed]
