Bryan Andrews QSM (born 4 April 1945) is a New Zealand former cricketer who played in two Test matches during the 1973–74 season.[1] Later he was a member of the Radio Sport cricket commentary team, and served as President of the Auctioneers Association of New Zealand.
Andrews was born in Christchurch in 1945.[1][2] He began his first-class cricket career with Canterbury in 1963–64, moved to Central Districts during the 1966–67 season, and later moved to Otago, where he played from 1970–71 to 1973–74.
He was considered a surprise choice to tour Australia with New Zealand in 1973–74,[1] but after taking a five-wicket haul in the final warm-up match against Queensland was selected for the first Test of the series. He opened the bowling with Richard Hadlee but failed to take a wicket.[1] After taking just two wickets in the second Test, he was replaced by Lance Cairns for the final Test of the series.[1][3] After playing for Otago against the touring Australians a few weeks later he played no further first-class cricket.[1] He played for New Zealand three times in the Australian domestic limited-overs cricket tournament: in 1971–72, 1972–73 (when New Zealand won) and 1973–74.[4]
His best first-class bowling figures were seven wickets for 37 runs taken for Central Districts against Otago in 1969–70.[5] He was the leading bowler in the Plunket Shield that season with 28 wickets taken at a bowling average of 15.96.[6] He also played for Wanganui in the Hawke Cup from 1967 to 1970.
