Gregor Kennis

Who is Gregor Kennis?

Gregor John Kennis played first-class and List A cricket for Surrey between 1994 and 1997 and for Somerset between 1998 and 2000. He was born at Yokohama, Japan.

Kennis was a right-handed batsman who opened the innings in some matches, but in others batted as low as No 8 in the batting order. He also bowled four overs of right-arm off-spin in his first-class cricket career. He was an occasional first-class cricketer: one first-class match in each of his first three seasons from 1994 to 1996, all of them for Surrey, and then three in each of his final three first-class seasons, 1997 to 1999, the first of those seasons for Surrey, the final two for Somerset. His limited-overs cricket career was just as spasmodic: one match for Surrey in both 1994 and 1995; one match for Somerset in both 1999 and 2000. He was a more regular second eleven player for Surrey from 1993, and in 1998, he appeared for four different second teams in the Second Eleven Championship: Surrey, Worcestershire, Middlesex and Somerset.

Kennis had limited success in both first-class and limited-overs cricket as a batsman until his very last first-class match.
