A grandson of Fred Nicholas (who captained Essex County Cricket Club), he was educated at Bradfield College where he was coached in cricket by John Harvey.A middle-order batsman and occasional medium-pace bowler, Nicholas captained Hampshire to four major trophies – the Benson & Hedges Cup in 1988 and 1992, Sunday League (now Pro40) in 1986, and NatWest Trophy (now Friends Provident Trophy) in 1991. Despite captaining England A on tour to Zimbabwe in 1989–1991, Nicholas might be considered one of his generation's better players never to play a Test for England. Wikipedia
