Full Name: Dominic Blampied Date of Birth: July 10, 1996 Birthplace: Jersey Role: Right-Arm Leg Spinner | Right-Handed Batter | All-Rounder When you think of Jersey cricket’s rise on the international Associate stage, few names have been as consistently influential as Dominic Blampied. Blampied is Jersey’s spin wizard—cunning, calculated, and quietly devastating with the ball. Add to that his valuable lower-middle-order batting and calm presence under pressure, and you have one of Jersey's most complete all-rounders in modern times. Born in 1996 on the island of Jersey, Dominic’s cricketing journey began early. A naturally gifted athlete with a sharp cricketing brain, he was drawn to the art of leg-spin—a craft not many in Associate cricket dare to master. But for Dominic, spin wasn’t just about turn; it was about strategy, deception, and discipline. His unorthodox yet effective approach to bowling earned him a place in Jersey’s youth setup and eventually the national side, where he quickly became indispensable. Blampied’s international career took flight during the ICC T20 World Cup Europe Region Qualifiers, where he regularly outfoxed top-order batsmen with clever flight and subtle variations. One of his most memorable performances came against Germany in 2021, where he recorded sensational figures of 4 for 15, tearing through their lineup and guiding Jersey to a comfortable win. His ability to control the middle overs and create breakthroughs became a game-changer for the side. Beyond his T20 exploits, Dominic played a key role in the ICC Challenge League, helping Jersey remain competitive against the likes of Hong Kong, Uganda, and Kenya. His economy rate often hovered under 5 in 50-over cricket—an impressive feat for a leg-spinner—and he consistently picked up crucial wickets to break partnerships. One of his standout spells was against Uganda, where his 3 for 23 changed the momentum of the match and showcased his match-awareness. With the bat, Blampied is more than just handy. A composed lower-order batter, he has frequently contributed important runs in pressure situations. In 2022, during a tense chase against Italy, he played a mature unbeaten knock of 29 off 18 balls, steering Jersey home with ice in his veins. His ability to rotate strike, find boundaries, and finish games has added depth to Jersey’s batting unit. What sets Dominic apart is not just his skill but his mindset. He is analytical, unflappable, and always thinking a step ahead—traits that have made him a crucial voice in Jersey’s leadership group. Though he’s not the official captain, his cricketing acumen and ability to read situations have earned him the respect of teammates and coaches alike. Off the field, Blampied is known for his humility and dedication. Whether it’s supporting grassroots cricket in Jersey or mentoring the next generation of spinners, he is fully invested in the growth of the game on the island. Now in his cricketing prime at 28, Dominic Blampied, with his trademark jersey number 6, continues to spin webs around opposition batsmen while quietly anchoring Jersey’s cricketing ambitions. He’s not just a spinner or an all-rounder—he’s a key architect in Jersey’s rise, one over at a time.
