Peter Edward Richardson (4 July 1931 – 17 February 2017) was an English cricketer, who played for Worcestershire, Kent and, in 34 Tests, for England.Colin Bateman, the one-time Daily Express cricket correspondent, noted, "Peter Richardson was one of cricket's great characters...off the field he was a one-man entertainment show, particularly when the troops were stuck in some up-country billet in India.
His sense of humour and sharp mind enlivened many a dull official function to the delight of his team-mates.
His love of a prank continued after his playing days with outrageous letters from fictitious Colonel Blimps to The Daily Telegraph."
