Michael Howard Yardy (born 27 November 1980) is a former English cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and former Sussex County Cricket Club captain whose unusual technique has attracted a great deal of attention due to a pronounced shuffle from leg to off immediately prior to the bowler releasing the ball. Yardy also bowls slow left arm with a characteristic round armed action similar to that of Australia's Darren Lehmann, and is used as a bowling all-rounder in England's ODI and Twenty20 teams. On 21 July 2015, Yardy announced that he would retire from cricket at the end of the current season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yardy calls time on Sussex career )〕 ==Domestic career== Yardy made his Sussex debut in an early-season NatWest Trophy game against Hertfordshire in May 1999, although it was not a very successful way to begin his career: opening the batting, he was lbw for nought and went for 14 from two wicketless overs. He also played a one-day game against Sri Lanka A, again with little success, and though he played a few games the following year it was only in 2001 that he became anything like a regular in the side. He played ten games in 2002, but only seven in total over the next two years, before returning with a vengeance in 2005. He enjoyed an excellent domestic summer that season, making 1,520 first-class runs at 56.29 with five centuries, including a career-best 257 against the Bangladeshis in May. Only Murray Goodwin, who hit 344 * in 2009, had made a higher score for Sussex since the Second World War.〔(Most Runs in an Innings for Sussex ), Sussex CricketArchive. Retrieved 17 September 2006.〕 In the one-day game, Yardy was less successful with the bat, averaging well under 20, but he achieved a career-best bowling performance of 6-27 against Warwickshire in the totesport League. He was appointed as Sussex's County Captain for the 2009 season, succeeding Chris Adams. In his first Season as captain he led Sussex to the Twenty20 Cup and the Pro 40 titles. He stood down as Captain of Sussex for the County Championship and CB40 competition in July 2012 and the Friends Life T20 at the end of the year.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/19066908〕 He was replaced by Ed Joyce for the Championship and CB40 and Chris Nash for the Friends Life T20. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Yardy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
