Richard Turner (Cambridge University cricketer)

Richard Vinson Turner is a former English
cricketer
who played ten first-class
games for Cambridge University
as a batsman in the 1950s. He also appeared for Devon
in the Minor Counties Championship.
By some distance Turner's highest score — he never otherwise even reached 30 — was the 113 not out
he struck against MCC
at Fenner's
in June 1953; he shared in an unbroken stand of 196 for the fourth wicket with Raman Subba Row
.
As of 2007 this remains Cambridge's highest partnership for that wicket against MCC.
