Oliver Benjamin Cox (born 2 February 1992) is an English cricketer who plays county cricket for Worcestershire. Cox has been associated with Worcestershire for some years, having played at Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 level, although not originally as a wicket-keeper.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Other matches played by Ben Cox )〕 He captained the Under-17 side against Somerset U-17s in July 2009, scoring exactly 100.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Somerset Under-17s v Worcestershire Under-17s in 2009 )〕 Cox was called up to make his first-class debut, aged 17, in Worcestershire's penultimate County Championship match of 2009, against Somerset at Taunton.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Somerset v Worcestershire in 2009 )〕 Withdrawn from his lessons at Bromsgrove School for the occasion,〔 〕 he scored 61 in his only innings of a drawn match (an innings in which Daryl Mitchell scored 298), winnings compliments for an innings that after a slightly nervous start had become one of "great maturity and judgment".〔 〕 Keeping wicket, his first first-class dismissal was that of Marcus Trescothick, stumped for 72.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ben Cox )〕 He also took four catches, including a spectacular leg-side dive to dismiss Arul Suppiah.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Somerset v Worcestershire, day 3 )〕 He was awarded a four-year contract by Worcestershire in October 2009, Director of Cricket Steve Rhodes paying tribute to his performance on debut, saying he showed 'real character'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ben Cox Signs Four-Year Contract At New Road )〕 Cox pressed his claims for a regular place in the side in his first game of the 2010 season. Batting at number eight in a non-first-class warm-up match against Bradford/Leeds UCCE, he came to the crease with his side struggling at 140 for six; his magnificent 110 was scored off only 138 balls. Worcestershire went on to win the game.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v Bradford/Leeds UCCE in 2010 )〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ben Cox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
