Career
[edit]Having previously attended the Western Australian Institute of Sport and played for the Western Australia under-19 cricket team, McPhee made his first-class debut for Western Australia against Victoria in November 1984, scoring 85 runs from 127 balls batting at number five before being dismissed by Merv Hughes.[1] Playing almost exclusively as an opening batsman, McPhee recorded two centuries in his first-class career, with a highest score of 135. In total, McPhee scored 1699 runs in 40 first-class games at an average of 27.85, and 594 runs in 17 limited overs games at an average of 37.12, with a highest score of 97.[2]
In August 1999, McPhee was killed when a truck collided with his four-wheel drive near Gingin.[3] The Mark McPhee Memorial Trophy was established by the Fremantle and North Perth Cricket Clubs, the two teams he played for in the Western Australian Grade Cricket competition.[4]
