Gary Joseph Pratt (born 22 December 1981) is an English cricketer and footballer, best known for running out the Australia cricket captain Ricky Ponting while appearing as a substitute fielder for England during the 2005 Ashes series.
Pratt is primarily a left-handed batsman but also bowls right-arm off breaks. Pratt performed well in his early career, picking up the NBC Denis Compton Award in 1999 as the most promising young player at Durham County Cricket Club, and scored a century for England Under 19s.
He stayed on at Durham, scoring more than 1000 first-class runs in 2003.
Pratt has failed to match that form since.
He did not play a single first-class game in 2005 (although he famously appeared as a substitute fielder for England) and in August 2006, Durham announced that they had decided not to renew Pratt's contract.
He has since appeared for Crook Town F.C.
in a Northern League Division Two fixture against Brandon United F.C.
He signed for Cumberland minor county cricket club for the 2007 cricket season.
