Profile

Corey Richards was the boom New South Wales batsman before Michael Clarke, but he appeared to bust terminally after a couple of poor years that ended with his sacking in 2002-03. However, after two seasons without a state contract, Richards returned to the squad and made occasional appearances in the Pura Cup without success, and regular contributions in the limited-overs competition with 182 runs at 30.33.
