Philip Mustard (born 8 October 1982 in Sunderland) is an English cricketer who plays for Gloucestershire and England. Mustard is a left-handed batsman and wicketkeeper, with a style likened to that of Australia's Adam Gilchrist. Following success for Durham with both gloves and bat, averaging 49.61, and after an injury to England's keeper Matt Prior during the 2007 Twenty20 World Championship, Mustard was called up to the England squad to face Sri Lanka in the winter ODI series. He was named captain of Durham in May 2010.
With partner Louise he has two sons, Haydon and Rory. Mustard was educated at Usworth Comprehensive, and is a keen football fan who played at Manchester United until aged 13, and then Middlesbrough FC until aged 15, and he continues to play during the winter months. His nickname, "Colonel", stems from the suspect Colonel Mustard from the murder-mystery board game Cluedo. His brother Alan Mustard plays for Chester le Street CC at Ropery Lane and helped the side win the 45 over National Knock out competition in 2009 defeating Spencer CC from london in the final at The County Ground in Derby.
Mustard first played for England in the U-19 squad, beginning his cricket career in 2000. He began first-class cricket in 2002 and Twenty20 in 2003 for Durham. During the English winter in 2003, Mustard travelled to Hobart in Tasmania, Australia. He played for the Glenorchy Cricket Club, as well as helping and coaching young and upcoming players. During 2007, he scored nearly 1000 first-class runs and won two trophies. He scored a fast 49 off 38 balls to secure a victory for Durham in September, before being given out lbw. Subsequent replays revealed that the ball would have missed the stumps, however Mustard's appeals to be allowed to continue were controversially turned down by umpire Ian Gould. Nevertheless, Mustard's 2007 season earned him a call-up to the England side to replace the injured Prior for England's tour of Sri Lanka at the end of 2007. Mustard received much support for his international call-up, Shane Warne rated Mustard as "the best one-day wicketkeeper-batsman in England" and, along with Paul Collingwood, likened him to Gilchrist in ability. Durham chief executive David Harker stated that Mustard deserved to be called up, stating that his 2007 season was "fantastic".
