Dr John Charles Lill (born 7 December 1933 in Adelaide) is a former Australian first-class cricketer who represented South Australia. He was a member of the South Australian team which won the Sheffield Shield in 1963/64.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=1963-64 Sheffield Shield winning team reunites )〕 A right-handed top order batsman, Lill was good enough to tour New Zealand in 1959/60 with the Australian national cricket team. He played two matches against New Zealand but they weren't given Test status. This was because it was in effect a 'Second XI', with the first choice players given a rest after back to back tours of India and Pakistan. Lill fared poorly in his four innings, scoring 1, 15, 6 and 0.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Australia in New Zealand 1959/60 )〕 Back home, Lill had his most prolific season in 1960/61 when he amassed 809 runs in all first-class fixtures, at an average of 42.57.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= First-class Batting and Fielding in Each Season by John Lill )〕 His only first-class wicket was Victorian batsman Jack Potter, whom he dismissed for 156, caught by Barry Jarman in 1962.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=South Australia v Victoria 1961/62 )〕 Lill was also a talented footballer and played in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) with Norwood. A centre half forward, Lill was Norwood's top goal-kicker in 1961 and 1962, with 40 and 52 goals respectively. He participated in the famous 1961 'Bloodbath' Grand Final against West Adelaide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=1961 SANFL Grand Final: West Adelaide vs. Norwood )〕 His father Alick Lill won a Magarey Medal during his time at Norwood. In 1983 he was appointed as Secretary of the Melbourne Cricket Club and also served as CEO. He remained in this role until 2000. Lill holds a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from the University of Adelaide. ==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「John Lill (cricketer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
