Clement Lindsay William "Mick" Randall (8 August 1913 – 23 December 2007) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in ten first-class matches for Wellington from 1948 to 1951.[1]

Life and career

[edit]

Born in Napier, Randall attended Wellington Technical College and became an accountant. During World War II he served as a captain with the New Zealand Army in the South Pacific.[2]

Randall was an accurate right-arm medium-pace bowler who was 35 years old when he played his first first-class match in December 1948. In Wellington's victory over Otago in the Plunket Shield in December 1949 he took three wickets in each innings, finishing with match figures of 41–14–62–6.[3] A year later, in his last season, he had match figures of 19.3–2–36–5 against Central Districts.[4]

Randall later served as president of the Wellington Cricket Association.[5] He worked in Wellington, where he became a company director.[6]
