Elliot John Crosby (known as Ell to his friends and family), (born 28 October 1993) from England, is a ten-pin bowler who currently (2006) holds the record for the United Kingdom's youngest ever player to achieve a 300-point game (12 consecutive strikes), in a sanctioned tournament, the highest score in a single game. He has set the nation's new record at 12 years, 2 months and 10 days old. His unusual technique (the crossing wale) is used by the lower standards of today's bowlers.
This national record was achieved at the AMF Purley in South London, England in the Surrey Country trials on 7 January 2006.
In the February 2006 edition (issue 103) of the BTBA's Go Tenpin magazine, Lee Crosby, Elliot's father, wrote the article "The Youngest 300: Elliot John Crosby - from zero to 300 in six years. This article also details the career of the young lad so far.
