Rodney Elliott Bernstein (born 15 December 1937 in Dublin) is a former Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler, he made his debut for Ireland against the MCC in September 1960 and went on to play for them on eight occasions, his last match coming against Scotland in July 1962. All but two of his matches had first-class status. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on an oval-shaped field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team.
