Joseph John Sayers (born 5 November 1983[1]) is a former English first-class cricketer, who has played for the Oxford University Centre of Cricketing Excellence, Oxford University and Yorkshire.
Sayers was educated at St Mary's School, Menston,[2] and Worcester College, Oxford.
[3] Sayers hit his sixth first-class century, coming off 318 balls and taking over six and a half hours, against Durham at Headingley in the opening home fixture of the 2007 season, as he carried his bat through the first innings, hitting a then personal best score of 149 not out.
It meant that his season was over before it had really started, and whilst his playing colleagues made a serious attempt at the County Championship title, Sayers was hardly able to walk at home.
[4] In 2012, Sayers signed a new two-year contract with Yorkshire, although he had slipped from regular first team duties.
