Bryan Andrews QSM (born 4 April 1945, Christchurch, Canterbury) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played in two Tests in December 1973 and January 1974.[1]

Cricket career

He began his first-class career with Canterbury in 1963-64, moved to Central Districts during the 1966-67 season, and later moved to Otago, where he played from 1970-71 to 1973-74.

He toured Australia with the New Zealanders in 1973-74 and played in the first two Tests, but was replaced by Lance Cairns for the Third Test.[2] After playing for Otago against the touring Australians a few weeks later he played no further first-class cricket.

He played for New Zealand three times in the Australian domestic limited-overs cricket tournament: in 1971-72, 1972-73 (when New Zealand won) and 1973-74.[3]

His best first-class bowling figures were 7 for 37 for Central Districts against Otago in 1969-70.[4] He was the leading bowler in the Plunket Shield that season with 28 wickets at an average of 15.96.[5] He also played for Wanganui in the Hawke Cup from 1967 to 1970.

Later life

He was a member of the Radio Sport cricket commentary team for many years.

He worked as an auctioneer. For seven years until 2013 he served as President of the Auctioneers Association of New Zealand. He was awarded the Queen's Service Medal in 2015 for his community and charitable work, notably in organizing and conducting charity auctions.[6] He is an executive board member of the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation.[7]
