Career
A right-arm fast-medium bowler, he made his first-class debut for Somerset in June 1994. Playing in the County Championship against Hampshire, Dimond claimed a solitary wicket in the match, which was shortened to single innings due to rain.[1] He played two further Championship matches that season, and claimed his best return against Yorkshire, picking up four wickets in the first innings of their contest.[2] He played three List A matches during his debut season, but failed to claim a wicket in any of them.[3] He was selected to tour with the England Under-19 cricket team, travelling to the West Indies during the 1994–95 season, where he played three Under-19 Tests and a single One Day International.[4][5] His eleven wickets during the Test series, highlighted by a five-wicket haul in the second Test,[6] saw him finish the tour as England's joint second most prolific bowler, level with Andrew Flintoff and trailing only Vikram Solanki.[7]
Dimond made two further first-class appearances for Somerset,[8] claiming just one wicket between the two matches.[9][10] Dimond played for the Somerset Cricket Board from 1998 until 2002, in both the Minor Counties competition and the early rounds of the NatWest Trophy.
