About Kevan James

  • Kevan David James (born 18 March 1961, Lambeth, London) was educated at the Edmonton County School, in the London Borough of Enfield. James was an English first-class cricketer for 19 years.
  • He spent most of his career with Hampshire whom he won the NatWest Trophy and Benson & Hedges Cup with in the early 1990s. A middle-order batsman and left-arm seam bowler, he toured Australia and the West Indies with Young England before forging a successful career with Hampshire.
  • He also played some first-class cricket for Wellington in New Zealand.
  • James is perhaps best known for a game against the Indians in 1996 when he took a record equaling four wickets in four balls, and followed it up with a hundred later in the match.
  • These Indian wickets included Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.
  • The Cricinfo report from the match claimed that no-one, in the history of cricket, had taken four wickets in four balls and scored a hundred in the same game. The second player to have accomplished a 4-in-4 and a century was Kelly Smuts, for Eastern Province (EP) against Boland at Paarl in 2015-16.
  • Smuts had a magical game, scoring the only individual century of the game (108) in the only EP innings of 442, and capturing 7 for 36 and 6 for 35. His brother, Martin, played List A cricket for Hertfordshire. Since at least 2003, Kevan has been reported on Hampshire for BBC Radio Solent and is currently the lead Hampshire commentator for the BBC's ball-by-ball radio coverage of county cricket.
