Richard Peter Hammond-Chambers-Borgnis MBE (25 August 1910 – 28 May 2001) was an English first-class cricketer and Royal Navy officer.
Borgis played minor counties cricket for Berkshire in 1931, making five appearances in the Minor Counties Championship. [1] Borgnis was selected to play a first-class cricket match for the Combined Services against the touring New Zealanders at Portsmouth in 1937. [2] In what was to be his only appearance in first-class cricket, he had what Wisden described as a "dreamlike" match. [3] Coming into bat with the Combined Services at 18 for four, he proceeded to score a century in two and a half hours, scoring 101 of the 180 runs made in the Combined Services first-innings. [3] [4] He took the best bowling figures amongst the Combined Services bowlers during the New Zealanders first-innings, taking 3 for 38 from thirteen overs. [3] [4] He was dismissed for 23 by Jack Cowie in the Combined Services second-innings, and went wicketless in the New Zealanders second-innings, with the New Zealanders winning by 9 wickets. [4]
Borgnis attended the Royal Naval College, Greenwich where, in 1924, he was an acting sub-lieutenant. After graduating from Greenwich, he entered into the Royal Navy. He was promoted to the permanent rank of sub-lieutenant in April 1932, [5] with promotion to lieutenant coming in February 1933. [6] Ill health shortly after limited any further cricket appearances, with Bognis placed on the retired list in December 1938. [7]
He died in France in May 2001. His uncle was H. D. G. Leveson Gower.
