Nicholas Wisdom (born 18 March 1953) is a former English cricketer, turned businessman.[1] He was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace. The son of Norman Wisdom, the comedian, singer-songwriter and actor, he was born at Edmonton, Middlesex.
Wisdom made two first-class appearances for Sussex in 1974, against Oxford University at Cricket Field Road Ground, Horsham, and Worcestershire in the County Championship at the Central Recreation Ground, Hastings.[2] Against Oxford University he made scored 31 not out in his only innings in the match, as well as taking the wickets of Peter Thackeray and Rick Lee,[3] while against Worcestershire he scored 4 in his only innings of the match.[4]
Following his brief cricket career, he opened a sports shop in Haywards Heath, Sussex. He was present at his father's funeral on the Isle of Man. Reflecting on his father's life, he said: "He was a very caring and loving father, always greeting us with a big kiss right to the end. Perhaps for his family and his many friends and fans around the world, they are the true 'Lucky Little Devils' because they shared his love and enthusiasm for life, which made him the unique person he was."[5]
