Richard Webb

Richard John Webb (born 15 September 1952) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played in three One Day Internationals (ODIs) for the national team in 1983. He played as a fast-medium paced bowler. He played domestic cricket for Otago between the 1975–76 season and 1983–84.

Webb was born at Invercargill in 1952. He played age-group cricket for Otago from the 1970–71 season and played for the New Zealand Universities between 1971–72 and 1973–74, also representing the New Zealand under-23 national team in the latter season. He made his senior debut for Otago the following season, playing two List A matches as an opening bowler, taking a wicket in each.

He retained his place in the team for the first two ODIs against England, the third team in the tri-series, during their brief tour of New Zealand which followed the tri-series. Webb went wicketless in the first match and took two wickets, including the final wicket of the match, in the second match. He did not play in the final match of the series and was not selected again for the national team.

Webb's older brother, the caricaturist Murray Webb, also played cricket as a fast bowler for Otago. He played in three Test matches for New Zealand between 1971 and 1974.
