Michael Dighton

Michael Gray Dighton, (born 24 April 1976) is an Australian cricket player, who played for the Tasmanian Tigers. He plays club cricket for North Hobart Cricket Club. He is an opening batsman, particularly in One-day cricket, and played a leading role in the Tigers victorious ING Cup campaign of 2004–05. He bowls occasional leg spin, and is also a wicket-keeper. Dighton has failed to recapture the form which saw him score at an average of 55 in 2003 in the Pura Cup, but still retains his place as one-day opener.
Dighton has also played cricket for the Western Warriors where he began his career, Hampshire County Cricket Club, Derbyshire County Cricket Club and the Netherlands as an overseas pro.
In 2007, he recorded the best bowling figures by a bowler on T20 debut (6-25) and was the only debutant to take a 6 wicket haul on T20 debut.
On 15 November 2008, Dighton scored 34 off 13 balls for the Emirates All*Stars against the Australian National Team in an exhibition Twenty/20 match. He and Adam Gilchrist scored quickly, hitting boundaries and helping the team (specially made for the occasion) on to win. During the fielding innings, he caught a surprising one handed catch in the deep to dismiss Cameron White.
