After playing fifteen matches for Oxford University up until June of the 1960 season, Piachaud joined Hampshire for the remainder of the 1960 County Championship season. He made his debut for the club against Nottinghamshire in July, and represented the club in twelve first-class matches, the last of which came against Somerset in August. He took 29 wickets at an average of 29.31 with best bowling figures of 4-62. This was his only season with the club.
In 1961 Piachaud represented Oxford University in a further seven first-class matches. In all first-class matches for the University he took 149 wickets at an average of 25.25 with best bowling figures of 8 for 72 against Free Foresters in 1958, when he took 13 for 106 in the match.[2] He played his last match for the University against Cambridge University in 1961.
Piachaud also played three matches of first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club, making his debut against Cambridge University in 1962 and playing his last first-class match for them against Ireland in 1968.
