Michael Gray Dighton, (born April 24, 1976, at Toowoomba, Queensland) is an Australian cricket player, who plays for the Tasmanian Tigers. He plays club cricket for North Hobart Cricket Club. He is an excellent opening batsman, particularly in One-day cricket, and he played a leading role in the Tigers victorious ING Cup campaign of 2004-05. He is tall, and strong, and adept at hitting out cleverly early in the innings. He bowls occasional leg spin, and is also a capable wicket-keeper. Dighton has failed to recapture the form which saw him score at an average of 55 in 2003 in the Pura Cup, but still retains his place as one-day opener.
Dighton has also played cricket for the Western Warriors where he began his career, Hampshire County Cricket Club, and the Netherlands as an overseas pro. As of June 2007, Dighton has signed for Derbyshire, and are awaiting clearance before playing him in the Twenty20 Cup.[1]
