Richard Devenish Pearsall (15 January 1921 – 18 March 2013) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University in 1947 and 1948.[1][2]
Pearsall attended Oundle School and King's College, Cambridge. A medium-pace bowler and lower-order batsman, he played several matches in two seasons after the war for Cambridge University without gaining a Blue.
Pearsall's best bowling figures were 4 for 51 against Free Foresters in 1947,[3] and his highest score was 80 not out against Middlesex in 1948, when he and Barry Pryer added an unbeaten 149 in 90 minutes for the ninth wicket.[4]
