Richard Kent

Profile
 After seven years globetrotting in Botswana and Hong Kong, Richard joined Harborne in 1999. On the rare occasions that he can extract himself from his wife and five boisterous children, he will go to extraordinary lengths to get a piece of the action. Continually reinvents himself, whether as fast medium opening bowler, slow medium or spin. Always at his best in a crisis, Richard is equally happy dropping anchor to bat out 30 overs, or slogging 100 off the last ten. Electric cover fielder (eat your heart out Jonty!)
