Trevor Gard


Trevor Gard is a former English first-class cricketer who made more than 100 appearances for Somerset between 1976 and 1989.
A right-handed lower-order batsman and wicket-keeper, standing five feet five inches tall, Gard was Somerset's regular wicket-keeper from 1983 to 1986. In the quarter-final of the 1983 NatWest Trophy, he was named the player of the match for his five catches. In the final later that season he made two brilliant leg-side stumpings to help Somerset to the title.
Despite his wicket-keeping ability, Gard was replaced in the Somerset team by Neil Burns, who was regarded as a better batsman. Gard bowled two balls in his career: in a County Championship match against Sussex in 1983, when Sussex faced a victory target of only seven runs, he conceded two fours to grant Sussex a 10 wicket victory.
