Richard Leslie Ollis (born 14 January 1961) played first-class and List A cricket for Somerset between 1981 and 1985.
The son of a haulage contractor from Keynsham,[2] Ollis was an upright left-handed batsman used either as an opener or in the middle order.
He played only once in 1982, but in 1983, he was brought into the team when Somerset's Test players, Ian Botham, Vic Marks, Viv Richards and Joel Garner disappeared on World Cup duty and stayed there for much of the season.
[3][4] That proved to be the highest score of Ollis's first-class career, though he passed 50 twice more in the 1983 season on his way to his best aggregate and average, 517 runs at 25.85.
[6] At the end of the 1985 season, Ollis's contract was not renewed by Somerset and he left first-class cricket.
