David Jonathan Willey (born 28 February 1990, Northampton, Northamptonshire), is an English cricketer playing for Northamptonshire Steelbacks. He is a left-handed batsman and bowler. He is the son of former England cricketer and current international umpire Peter Willey. Cricinfo describes David Willey as "Obdurate, like his father, but with a far less unorthodox technique".[1]

Domestic career

Northamptonshire

He is currently playing for Northamptonshire in the County Championship division two. Having come through the ranks at Northampton playing for O.N's and Northants Academy, he got his chance in the 2009 season aged 19 after a good pre season. His first game came against Leicestershire, the first game of the season against one of his dad's old clubs. He scored 60 on debut after a good partnership with Andrew Hall[2] but didn't continue this in the televised game against Essex CCC in his first one day game getting out for a duck with a poor shot. His first wicket came in his second first class against Kent when he had Phil Edwards LBW. On the 8th May he was rewarded with a 2 year Professional contract after impressing during the start of the season.[3] It was in the Twenty20 that he excelled in, but this time with his bowling taking 3/9 in his 1st spell against Worcestershire and finished the 2009 competition with an average of 11.30. He appeared alongside Northants team mate Jack Brooks on Cricket AM feature, Brain vs Brawn, in 2010. He took on the role as brain, which turned out to be a big mistake.

International career

David was selected in the England U19 cricket squad for the tests against Bangladesh. Although he didn't play in the first test, he scored 65 in the first innings of the second test.[4]
