Kenneth David Biddulph (29 May 1932 – 7 January 2003) played first-class cricket for Somerset between 1955 and 1961, and later appeared in List A cricket matches while playing Minor Counties cricket for Durham between 1962 and 1972.[1] He was born in Chingford, Essex and died at his home in Amberley, Gloucestershire.[2]
Ken Biddulph was a right-arm fast-medium bowler and a tail-end right-handed batsman. Colin McCool, who played alongside Biddulph on the Somerset side of the late 1950s, was not complimentary about Biddulph's abilities as an opening bowler in his ghosted book Cricket is a Game (1960)[citation needed], though Biddulph took a total of 162 wickets over the 1959 and 1960 seasons.
