Nicholas John Haste (born 13 November 1972) is an English former first-class cricketer.
Haste was born at Northampton in November 1972. He was educated at Wellingborough School, before going up to Pembroke College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club between 1993 and 1996, making 32 appearances.[2] Playing as a medium pace bowler in the Cambridge side, Haste took 49 wickets at an average of 60.26.[3] He took one five wicket haul, with figures of 5 for 73 against Oxford University in the 1995 University Match at Lord's.[4] His bowling action in the match was described by Norman Harris of The Independent as having a "purposeful stride and vigorous action" and that "he looked a genuinely first-class bowler".[5] As a lower order batsman, he scored 372 runs at a batting average of 13.28 from his 32 matches;[6] he made one half century, a score of 51 against Oxford University in 1996.[7] After graduating from Cambridge, Haste did not proceed further in the first-class game. He did however play club cricket for Brentwood Cricket Club in Essex,[8] and Bedford Town in the Northamptonshire Cricket League.[9]
