Richard Borgnis

Richard Peter Hammond-Chambers-Borgnis (25 August 1910 – 28 May 2001) was an English first-class cricketer and Royal Navy officer.

Cricket Borgis played minor counties cricket for Berkshire in 1931, making five appearances in the Minor Counties Championship. Borgnis was selected to play a first-class cricket match for the Combined Services against the touring New Zealanders at Portsmouth in 1937. In what was to be his only appearance in first-class cricket, he had what Wisden described as a "dreamlike" match. Coming into bat with the Combined Services at 18 for four, he proceeded to score a century in two and a half hours, scoring 101 of the 180 runs made in the Combined Services first-innings. He took the best bowling figures amongst the Combined Services bowlers during the New Zealanders first-innings, taking 3 for 38 from thirteen overs. with promotion to lieutenant coming in February 1933. Ill health shortly after limited any further cricket appearances, with Bognis placed on the retired list in December 1938.

He died in France in May 2001. His uncle was H. D. G. Leveson Gower.
