Samuel "Uel" Graham (born 9 January 1967) is an Irish former cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler, he played 18 times for the Ireland cricket team between 1992 and 1997,[1] including two first-class matches, both of which were against Scotland,[2] and ten List A matches.[3]

Playing career

[edit]

Graham was born 9 January 1967 in Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.[4] Graham made his debut for Ireland in June 1992 against Middlesex. The same month he made his first-class debut against Scotland[2] and his List A debut in the NatWest Trophy against Durham.[3] He then played against the MCC the following month, before spending 18 months out of the Ireland side.[1]

He was named in the Ireland squad for the 1994 ICC Trophy and played in five of the matches.[5] Later that year, he played List A matches against Leicestershire and Northamptonshire[3] and his final first-class match against Scotland,[2] in addition to games against the MCC and New Zealand. In the match against the MCC he scored 55 in the Irish first innings, his only half century for Ireland[1] He also played in the Triple Crown Tournament that year,[6] taking 4/49 in the match against Wales, his best bowling figures for Ireland.[1]

In 1995, he played in Ireland's early-season Benson & Hedges Cup matches against Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Somerset,[3] also playing against the Duchess of Norfolk's XI at Arundel Castle, the MCC at Lord's,[1] a NatWest Trophy match against Yorkshire[3] and against the West Indies[1] before again playing in the Triple Crown Tournament.[7]

In 1996, he played Benson & Hedges Cup matches against Hampshire and Sussex, also playing in the first European Championship tournament in Denmark.[8] He was named in the Ireland squad for the 1997 ICC Trophy and played just one game against Singapore,[5] which was his last for Ireland.[1]
