Nicholas Ross Boulton, also known as Nick Boulton (born 22 March 1979)
is a South African-born English cricketer. He was born in
Johannesburg, but has played all his important cricket in
England.Boulton started playing for Somerset's second XI in 1995, and
an innings of 112 against Glamorgan II in July 1997 won him promotion
two weeks later to make his first-class debut in the tour match
against Pakistan A. He made scores of 1 and 14, and immediately
returned to the seconds, where he spent two and a half more
frustrating years.For the 2000 season, Boulton moved to
Worcestershire, but again he could not force his way into the first
team. The following summer was a different story he played five List A
games in May alone. He did not grasp that opportunity, however, making
22*, 4, 6*, 1 and 1, and he was once more dropped. He did play another
two one-day and four first-class games that season, but in none of
them did he produce the sizeable scores he had made in the second
team, and Worcestershire released him at the end of the year.
