Michael John Lucas (born 14 April 1944) is a former Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for Queensland from 1968 to 1975.
Mike Lucas was a middle-order batsman who scored a century on his first-class debut, making 47 and 107 when Queensland defeated New South Wales in the opening match of the 1968-69 Sheffield Shield season.[1] In all matches that season he made 409 runs at an average of 31.46.[2] However, he was unable to maintain that form in subsequent seasons.
Despite his poor form, midway through the 1971–72 season Lucas was appointed Queensland captain, replacing the long-serving Sam Trimble, who became vice-captain.[3] In his second match as captain Lucas led the team to its only victory of the season, by 17 runs over South Australia.[4] After that season he played only one more first-class match, in 1974–75.
