Eddie Fuller - First-class Cricket

First-class Cricket

He made his first-class debut for Western Province in two matches in the 1950-51 season, but came to prominence at the start of the 1951-52 season by taking 10 wickets in just his third first-class match: he took three Transvaal wickets for 47 runs in the first innings and followed that with seven for 54 in the second to finish with match figures of 10 for 101. With a further five-wicket haul a month later against Natal, Fuller was picked, after just nine first-class games, for the South African tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1952-53.
