Lindsay Wood

Lindsay Jonathan Wood (born 12 May 1961) is an English former professional cricketer. He played as a left-arm spin bowler for Kent and Derbyshire County Cricket Clubs during the 1980s.

Wood was born at Ruislip in Middlesex in 1961 and was educated at Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys at Canterbury in Kent before attending King Alfred's College in Winchester. He made his Kent Second XI debut in 1979 and played for the team regularly before making his First XI debut in an August 1981 County Championship match against Essex at Chelmsford in the absence of Kent's established left-arm spin bowler Derek Underwood. He took four wickets on debut, but did not play again for the First XI until the following season when he went wicketless against the touring Indians at Canterbury. He played club cricket for the St Lawrence and Highland Park team and appeared regularly for the Second XI, winning his Second XI cap in 1982. Ahead of the 1986 season he moved to play for Derbyshire, making two further first-class appearances for the team during the season, taking two wickets against Essex in June. He again played regularly for the county Second XI during the season but was released and did not play any further county cricket.
