Richard Ellison formed a formidable new ball partnership at Beckenham in the 70s with Peter Wharton. He made his Test debut in the 1984 Oval Test where he took five wickets in defeat against the all conquering West Indians. The following year Ellison playing in the fifth Ashes Test claimed ten wickets in the match, three of them on the fourth evening as Australia crumbled to 37 for 5. The key wicket was Allan Border, who stretched forward but was befuddled by Ellison's late breakback. The ball just clipped the bails, and the danger man was gone.

Ellison's lack of real pace, and injury problems meant he was not as effective overseas or in England again. Ellison had a brief renaissance in 1988 taking 71 county championship wickets for Kent, before retiring at the comparatively early age of 33. Richard was named one of the Wisden cricketers of the year in 1986.
