Richard Wyatt (cricketer)
Richard B Wyatt (birth and death details unknown) was a noted amateur cricketer in the late 18th century. His career spanned the 1789 to 1797 seasons, during which he played 18 first-class cricket matches, mainly for Essex.
Wyatt may have been the younger brother of J Wyatt, who played for Essex from 1785 to 1787.
Wyatt was primarily a batsman who scored a total of 288 runs in 33 innings with a highest score of 39. He was an occasional bowler (style and pace unknown) and is credited with 5 wickets. He made 21 catches, which suggests he was a good fielder in one of the close positions.
