9 October ,1975 ) is an Englishcricket er who played one first-class match for Worcestershire and later playedminor counties cricket for Shropshire. He was born inKidderminster ,Worcestershire .Ralph played many times for Worcestershire's Second XI between 1994 and 1996, and a run of good scores in the latter year earned him what turned out to be his only first-class appearance, against South Africa A in August. He failed to grasp the opportunity, however, being dismissed for a pair, and his brief first-class career ended almost as soon as it had begun.
In 1998 Ralph returned to representative cricket with Shropshire in the
Minor Counties Championship , and made a number of List A appearances for them in theNatWest Trophy and its successor theC&G Trophy . Perhaps his best performance came against Somerset at Telford in 2000: although Shropshire lost the game by 27 runs, Ralph's unbeaten 102 gained him the man-of-the-match award. He took his only two List A wickets against Buckinghamshire in 2002.He currently plays for Shifnal Cricket Club in the Birmingham Premier league, and was recently elected captain of Shropshire. For the 2007 cricket season, he came out as top run scorer for the
Birmingham & District Premier League .Fact|date=September 2007External links
