	Brian Luckhurst - Telegraph
		Brian Luckhurst, who died on Tuesday aged 66, was for some time simply an excellent opening batsman for Kent; at the age of 31, however, he suddenly blossomed into a highly successful Test cricketer.
		Brian William Luckhurst was born at Sittingbourne, in Kent, on February 5 1939.
		Luckhurst made many an important contribution, not least with an innings of 183 against Surrey at Blackheath on a pig of a pitch; the next highest scorer was 46.

	Wisden - 2005 - Brian Luckhurst
		At that early stage the young Luckhurst was seen as a slow left-arm bowler, and, indeed, it was a bowler that he was enrolled as a professional at the age of fifteen years two months after the Easter coaching classes at Canterbury in April, 1954.
		Luckhurst is eternally grateful to Page, who has done so much behind the scenes in encouraging the young players, for his faith in him, and for displaying a discreet silence at the right moment.
		Luckhurst completed the season with 1080 runs, was fourth in the county averages, and was able to read in Wisden: "Luckhurst, a dedicated youngster, looked a splendid prospect in his first full season." Dedication -- a still apt description of him.

		L uckhurst was chosen as Boycott's partner, with John Edrich batting at three.
		The following summer, Luckhurst made further Test centuries, one apiece against Pakistan and India, and these, characterised by nimble footwork against spin, together with his high-class catching close to the wicket, ought to have secured him a place on that winter's tour to the subcontinent.

		Luckhurst's contribution to Kent cricket was honoured last summer when Carl Openshaw, the club chairman, presented him with a silver salver to mark his consecutive attendance at 50 Canterbury weeks.

		A spate of injuries which saw England go into their first match against the Rest of the World in 1970 with only one of their first six batsmen gave Kent's Brian Luckhurst the chance of a Test career.
		It was the unfancied Luckhurst who grabbed his chance, scoring 67 in the second innings and keeping his place as the likes of Boycott and Cowdrey returned.
		The re-emergence of really fast bowling on the Test scene was his undoing, first against Dennis Lillee in 1972, though Luckhurst showed his guts with 93 in a nine-and-a half hour England rearguard at Nottingham.
