Murray Muir


Murray Fergus Muir was a New Zealand cricketer. He played one first-class match for Otago during the 1949–50 season.
Muir was born at Dunedin in 1928. An off break bowler who played club cricket for the Grange club in Dunedin, he played for an Otago side against Southland in December 1949 before playing in his only first-class fixture later in the season. Against Canterbury at Carisbrook he did not take a wicket in five overs and recorded a duck in the only innings in which he batted. A contemporary newspaper article in the Otago Daily Times, described him as a slow-medium bowler who "swings the ball very late and bowls an excellent off-break".
Muir married netball player and coach Lois Osborne in 1955; the couple went on to have three children. He died at Anderson's Bay in Dunedin in 2004 at the age of 76.
