|}} Charles Harry Bull (29 March 1909 – 28 May 1939) was an English cricketer who played 175 first-class matches between 1929 and 1939, first for Kent and later for Worcestershire. After having made a number of appearances for Kent's Second XI in the late 1920s, Bull made his first-class debut against Surrey in July 1929; he scored 23 in his only innings and sent down three overs for 19.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Kent v Surrey in 1929 )〕 He played a further two first-class games that season, and another one in 1930, but had no success and left the county at the end of the season. Bull's Worcestershire debut came against the New Zealanders in May 1931, when opening the batting he scored just 8 and 6,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v New Zealanders in 1931 )〕 but his career for his new county truly began in 1933. In that year he made 25 appearances, scoring 743 runs at 21.85, though his highest score was only 79.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=First-class Batting and Fielding in Each Season by Charlie Bull )〕 The four seasons from 1934 to 1937 were the best years of Bull's career. He passed a thousand runs in each season, making five centuries, the highest of these being the first: 161 against Glamorgan in June 1934.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v Glamorgan in 1934 )〕 His most productive summer was that of 1937, when he hit 1,619 runs and hit two centuries, this being the only season of his career in which he reached three figures more than once.〔 Bull played 15 times in 1938, but passed 50 only thrice and scored under 500 runs in the season. In late May 1939, during the weekend of the match against Essex at Chelmsford, he was killed in a car accident which also left his team-mate Syd Buller injured.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Essex v Worcestershire in 1939 )〕 ==Death== Charlie Bull was killed on the night of May 28 when his car rammed into the rear of a stationary lorry. Being a Sunday, it was a rest day. He had spent the day playing golf and was returning to the hotel with four fellow players. William Joseph Bone, the driver, was blinded by the light of a car traveling in the opposite direction. The lorry had its rear light damaged. Its driver Hyman Bunner was underneath the lorry repairing it when the car hit it at around 45 miles per hour. Both the drivers were exonerated of the blame. 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「Charlie Bull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
