Wayne Dessaur was an English
cricket
er. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Nottinghamshire
and Derbyshire
in a three-year first-class cricketing career.
Educated at Loughborough Grammar School.
He first represented Nottinghamshire in the Second XI Championship in 1989, but his Derbyshire debut was one of the most important games of his career, as he hit a century against Oxford University
in May 1995. It was surprising, therefore, that it was less than three months before he was to be shown the door, after Derbyshire underperformed in the 1995 County Championship table.
Dessaur, who started his career as an upper-middle order batsman, moved to an opening position within three years, however, with Dean Jones
coming to the team in 1996, Dessaur was unable to assert himself within the team.
After finishing at Derbyshire he studied at Nottingham University gaining a degree in physiotherapy. He emigrated to Australia where he has his own physiotherapy practice. He is also involved with South Australia Cricket.
