James William Murray "Jamie" Dalrymple (born 21 January 1981 in Nairobi) is a Kenyan-born English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and off-spin bowler. As of the eve of the world cup he is also currently the 79th best all-rounder in ODI cricket. Like Andrew Strauss and Middlesex team-mate Ben Hutton he was educated at Radley College, before going to study Modern History at St Peter's College, Oxford University, achieving a 2:1 whilst also captaining the Blues.
Born in Nairobi, he made a double-century in 2003, becoming only the third batsman to do so in a Varsity match. Dalrymple has represented England at under-19 level against Sri Lanka, before captaining British Universities.
In 1999, he joined Middlesex and with them made a career-best innings of 244 at The Oval in 2004, despite only being present as a substitute for Andrew Strauss, away on his international debut.
He has earned an extension for Middlesex going beyond 2006.
In June 2006 he made his One-Day International debut against Ireland at Stormont, Belfast, scoring 17 off as many balls and taking 1-51 from nine overs. He also made his Twenty20 International debut against Sri Lanka later that month, taking 1-17 from two overs and scoring 1.
In addition, Dalrymple was selected in the squad to face Pakistan in the 2nd Test at Old Trafford, in what would have been his debut Test appearance. However, he was released from the squad prior to the match with Monty Panesar preferred instead.
Jamie Dalrymple will be touring to India with the English One Day International team, to compete in the ICC Champions Trophy.
On 16 December 2006 he was drafted into the England Ashes Squad to replace Ashley Giles, who had flown back to England to tend to his sick wife. In February 2007 he made a superb diving catch to dismiss Australia's Shane Watson as England won the final of the 2006-07 Commonwealth Bank Series 2-0.
