Paul Farbrace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Farbrace (born July 7, 1967), Ash-next-Sandwich, Kent was an English first-class cricketer and is now a cricket coach.

Farbrace was a capable wicket-keeper and right-handed batsman who represented Kent (1987-1989) and Middlesex (1990-1995) in 40 first-class matches and 28 List A matches. He peaked in 1991 when he made 54 dismissals, but he subsequently lost his place, because his batting was not considered good enough.

On retiring he became a respected coach. He has led England's Under 19 side and the national women's team. Following a spell running the Kent Academy, he was appointed as the assistant coach to Trevor Bayliss for Sri Lanka in July 2007.
