Richard Parr Daft (25 October 1863 – 27 March 1934) was an English cricketer. Daft was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace. He was born at Radcliffe-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire.
Daft made a single first-class appearance for Nottinghamshire against Surrey at Trent Bridge in 1886.[1] Surrey won the toss and elected to bat, scoring 282 in their first-innings. In response, Nottinghamshire made 223 all out in their first-innings, with Daft being caught behind by Henry Wood off the bowling of John Beaumont for 5 runs. Surrey reached 100/2 in their second-innings, at which point the match was declared a draw.[2] This was his only major appearance for the county. Ten years later he played for Berkshire in the 1896 Minor Counties Championship, appearing twice against Buckinghamshire and once against Hertfordshire.[3]
He died at South Croydon, Surrey, on 27 March 1934. His father, also called Richard, was a first-class cricketer, as were his brother Harry and uncle Charles.
