About Andrew Needham
Born 1957. Andrew Needham is a British cricketer.
Andrew ("Andy") Needham (born 23 March 1957, Calow, Derbyshire) is a former first-class cricketer, who represented Surrey and Middlesex, before representing Hertfordshire in the Minor Counties Championship.
First-class cricket career Needham was a right-arm off-spinner, with a batting record that suggested he could be considered an all-rounder. He was 25 before finally becoming a Surrey first team regular in 1982. He made an immediate impact with the bat, scoring his maiden first-class hundred in just his third match of that summer, with 134 not out, from number nine in the batting order, adding 172 for the tenth wicket with Robin Jackman. He then went on to take 5–91 in the same match.
Needham scored three hundreds and passed 1000 runs for the only time in 1985, but at the end of the 1986 season "surprised many by moving north to join Middlesex. He stayed two seasons, becoming more of a utility player in one-dayers".
