David Acfield
Edit ProfileCareer
He was a right arm off break bowler and right hand tail end batsman. He played for Cambridge University from 1966 to 1968 and Essex from 1966 to 1986. He also appeared for Master Control Console in 1973/74 and 1974.
He was awarded his Essex cap in 1970 and had his Essex benefit season in 1981.
He took 10 wickets in a match 4 times and 5 wickets in an innings 34 times. His best first class figures, 8 for 55, came against Kent.
Acfield was no batsman, failing to score a first class fifty in 417 innings. His best score, 42, came against Leicestershire.
His lack of batting ability, and strong competition from the likes of Fred Titmus and John Emburey, told against his chances of Test selection.
After retiring he remained in the game and served on the ECB"s management committee. Acfield attended Brentwood School, and graduated in history from Christ"s College, Cambridge.
