Blake Peter Coburn (born 25 December 1995) is a New Zealand cricketer.[1] He played for Canterbury from 2017–18 to 2022–23.
Coburn was born in Christchurch and educated there at Shirley Boys' High School.[2] A left-arm wrist-spin bowler, he has an unusual bowling action: his torso rotates downward and his head gets below the horizontal when releasing the ball.[3]
Coburn made his first-class debut for Canterbury in the 2017–18 Plunket Shield season on 23 October 2017.[4] In November 2017, in his second match, he took 7 for 64 in the second innings to lead Canterbury to victory over Northern Districts by 8 runs.[5] [6] He made his Twenty20 debut for Canterbury in the 2017–18 Super Smash on 17 December 2017.[7]
He made his List A debut for Canterbury in the 2018–19 Ford Trophy on 7 November 2018.[8] After some time out of the Canterbury team, he was awarded a contract for the 2022–23 season.[3]
Coburn announced his retirement from professional cricket in June 2023, aged 27.[9]
