"Christopher David Whelan" is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium bowler, who has represented Middlesex County Cricket Club/Middlesex and Worcestershire County Cricket Club/Worcestershire. He came through the ranks at Sefton Park Cricket Club/Sefton Park CC, taking a 1st XI hat-trick at Church Road Ground/Lytham aged 16, and scored a record 177 not out for his school, St Margaret's, in an under-15 final.

Whelan played for Middlesex's second team in 2003, but made his List A cricket/List A debut on 2 September 2004, when he appeared against Sussex County Cricket Club/Sussex in a totesport League game at County Ground, Hove/Hove. In a crushing 135-run defeat, Whelan's success was very limited: he returned an bowling analysis/analysis of 7–0–40–0 and scored 6 at the bottom of the order (by which time Middlesex's cause had long since been lost).

Early in 2005, Whelan was named by the Liverpool Echo as Merseyside Young Sports Personality of the Year. He was quoted by the newspaper as saying that he had been encouraged by John Emburey.

We have 40 girls out this year and 29 are freshman and sophomores. Hopefully, there will be an improvement as the year moves along. But there is definitely some talent there.

We didn't come prepared for this one. We need to come to play for it every night out. We just laid down after that (quarter) and they did an excellent job.
