Mervyn Francis Sandri (20 January 1932 – 16 January 2016)[1] was a New Zealand cricketer. He played one first-class match for Otago during the 1956–57 season.[2]
Sandri was born at Roxburgh in Central Otago in 1932.[3] He played club cricket for Albion in Dunedin for many years and was regarded as a "very effective" bowler.[4] He took nine wickets in an innings for the club as late as the 1963–64, bolding his medium-pace deliveries "accurately" and taking the catch to dismiss the other batsman during the innings,[5] and was described as a "long standing" member of the North Otago team, playing Hawke Cup cricket for it between 1958–59 and 1972–73.[6]
After playing for North Otago and age-group cricket for Otago, Sandri played his only first-class match for Otago against the touring Australian Test side in February 1957. Opening the bowling he did not take a wicket, although he made scores of 25 and two in Otago's innings defeat.[6]
Sandri died at Timaru in 2016. He was aged 83.[2]
