Rupert Cox

Rupert Michael Fiennes Cox (born 20 August 1967) is a former English cricketer.

Cox was born at Guildford in August 1967. He was educated at Bradfield College. Cox had been associated with the Hampshire Second XI since 1986, with him having to wait to make his first-class debut in 1990, against Sussex at Arundel in the County Championship. This came as a result of David Gower and Robin Smith being otherwise engaged playing Test cricket for England against India. Cox's position in the Hampshire side was largely dependent on the absence of Gower and Smith, thus his appeared infrequently for Hampshire; Cox was captain of the Hampshire Second XI, and was seen by some as a successor to Mark Nicholas as Hampshire captain. while in one-day cricket he scored 83 runs at an average of 8.30 and a high score of 23 not out.
