Benjamin Huntsman Williams (10 June 1944 – 3 August 1978) was a Rhodesian first-class cricketer. Williams, a left-arm fast-medium bowler, was a good enough player in his youth to have represented Rhodesian Nuffield, South African Schools and Rhodesia Country Districts by his 18th birthday.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Miscellaneous Matches Played By Huntsman Williams (5) )〕 He made his first-class debut in the 1963/64 Currie Cup season, playing for Orange Free State against North Eastern Transvaal. Despite opening the bowling in each innings, he failed to take a wicket.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Orange Free State v North Eastern Transvaal )〕 In 1966 he appeared for Matabeleland against the touring Australian team, in a non first-class fixture. He took four first innings wickets, Bob Simpson, Bob Cowper, Ian Redpath and Keith Stackpole.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Matabeleland v Australians )〕 This earned him a call up to the Rhodesia side to take on the same opponent and he made two further first-class appearances in the 1966/67 Currie Cup competition. He didn't play again for Rhodesia until the 1969/70 Currie Cup, when he took part in four matches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First-Class Matches played by Huntsman Williams (9) )〕 When not playing cricket, Williams worked as a farmer, in Inyati. On 3 August 1978, while on duty as a police reserve, he was killed when a rocket was fired at his vehicle, by Bush War terrorists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Obituaries in 1978 )〕 ==References== 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「Huntsman Williams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
