'''Richard Chee Quee''' (born 4 January 1971) is an Australian former [first-class cricket](/source/first-class_cricket)er.
Chee Quee is notable for being the second player of [Chinese](/source/Chinese-Australian) origin to play [first-class cricket](/source/first-class_cricket) in Australia after [Hunter Poon](/source/Hunter_Poon) in 1923. He played from 1992–1993 to 2000–2001 for [New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales_cricket_team) and scored nearly 11,000 runs in Sydney grade cricket for the [Randwick and Randwick Petersham club](/source/Randwick_Petersham_Cricket_Club).[{{cite web |url=https://www.sportingnews.com/au/cricket/news/cricket-2021-australia-sheffield-shield-new-south-wales-randwick-petersham-richard-chee-quee/12num1cs18ok115dlsboth5h6z |title=Former NSW star Richard Chee Quee reflects on incredible career and his influence on the community |last=O'Loughlin |first=Liam |date=13 January 2021 |accessdate=10 February 2023 |website=sportingnews.com}}]
==Domestic one day career==
His greatest innings in domestic one day cricket was his first and only one day domestic century, in the 1993/94 [Australian Domestic One-Day Cricket Final](/source/Australian_Domestic_One-Day_Cricket_Final), where he smashed 131 for the Blues against Western Australia as part of a 199 run partnership with [Michael Bevan](/source/Michael_Bevan) that helped the Blues defeat WA by 43 runs. The partnership still stands as the highest 2nd wicket partnership in a one day match for New South Wales.[https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/richard-chee-quee-first-of-chinese-origin-to-play-for-new-south-wales-563438/]
==First Class cricket==
In the longer form of the game he also only scored a single first class century, a quickfire 105 in a tour game against the travelling West Indies in December 1995. Despite the Windies only coming to Australia to participate in the revived One Day International Tri-Series the tour included a four day, first class match vs New South Wales that was held in Newcastle. Once again he teamed with Bevan and the pair put on a 1st innings 191 run 4th wicket partnership with Chee Quee scoring 105 against the formidable West Indian bowling attack that included [Curtly Ambrose](/source/Curtly_Ambrose), [Roger Harper](/source/Roger_Harper) and [Courtney Walsh](/source/Courtney_Walsh), who bowled him to end his 196 ball innings and later dismissed Bevan also bowled, for 86. He did not bat in the 2nd innings as the game ended in a draw when rain & lightning prevented New South Wales from scoring the last 12 runs on their 89 target.[https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/west-indies-tour-of-australia-1995-96-61909/new-south-wales-vs-west-indians-452445/full-scorecard]
==Non-playing career==
He is the lead [vocalist](/source/vocalist) in the [rock band](/source/rock_band) [Six & Out](/source/Six_%26_Out). He also takes part in coaching clinics run by the Australian Cricket Association Masters team.[{{cite web |url=https://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/cricket/psychology-of-building-crickets-future-20121124-2a0vs.html |title=Psy-chology of building cricket's future |author=Lee Gaskin |date=25 November 2012 |accessdate=16 March 2013 |work=[The Canberra Times](/source/The_Canberra_Times)}}]
