David Alleyne (cricketer)

In his first season at Middlesex he exclusively played in the second XI, sharing the gloves with David Nash and appearing in six matches, scoring 193 runs at 27.57.

[10] However, he lost his spot in Middlesex's limited overs side, playing in only one List A game, the Norwich Union League match against Lancashire.

[7] Following his departure from Middlesex, Alleyne signed for Nottinghamshire on a two-year deal in October 2003,[14] with incumbent Chris Read expected to play regularly for England and therefore be unavailable for his county.

However, Read's England career did not pan out as expected, and he was therefore a regular in the Notts side - indeed, he did not miss a single match in the 2007 season - which relegated Alleyne, once again, to second XI duty.

[17] The 2005 season was also largely spent in the second XI, with Alleyne making only one appearance for the first team in the County Championship, against Surrey, scoring 46 runs and taking 5 catches.

Following the end of his first-class career, Alleyne briefly appeared for Hertfordshire in the Minor Counties Championship,[15] playing in four matches in the 2010 season, but with limited returns as his eight innings brought him just 186 runs with a highest score of 50 and one catch.
