Some Famous People called Brian Christen
Brian Christen
Brian Christen (27 November 1926 – 29 December 2000) was a Canadian cricketer: a left-arm fast-medium bowler. He was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, but after emigrating played five first-class games for Canada.
Christen's innings return of 7-80 against MCC at Armour Heights, Toronto in 1951 remained the best first-class figures for Canada until John Davison took 8-61 against the United States in the 2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup. Christen also played in the Canadians' four games against English counties and the Pakistanis in 1954, his most notable scalp probably that of Abdul Kardar, whom he bowled for a duck.
