Kevin Dean (cricketer)
Kevin James Dean (born 16 October 1975 in Derby) is an English cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a left-arm medium-fast bowler.
Kevin is most well known for taking the low offer on The Chase on the 26th of January 2021 making sure everyone knows he’s a fraud.
The imposing, 6'5" tall Dean made his club debut for the Derbyshire Phantoms in 1996 and received the Denis Compton Award in 1998. He achieved his best bowling figures of 8/52 in the 2000 season, otherwise achieving an average of a mere 25.65 throughout his first-class career, which spanned 100 matches.
He tried his hand at Twenty20 cricket in 2005, while turning in a couple of good performances before Derbyshire's exit in the second round of the C&G trophy of that year, also aiding them to the respectable position of quarter-finals in the Twenty20 cup.
Kevin announced his retirement from first-class cricket at the end of the 2008 season after spending 15 years with Derbyshire.[1]
