Owen Parkin

Owen Thomas Parkin (born 24 September 1972[1]) is a retired English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman[1] and a right-arm medium-pace bowler.[1] Born in Coventry,[1] his first-class career began with Glamorgan in 1994, playing twice during the 1994 County Championship, and taking 5/28 on his Sunday League debut, after a season in which he had spent much of the time incapacitated with a back injury. For a few years, he was a regular member of the Glamorgan team in both 4-day and 1-day cricket, but towards the end of his career, he was regarded more as a specialist one-day bowler, and played an important role in Glamorgan's National League successes in the early 2000s. He retired from first-class cricket in 2003.
