Box Case
Cricket Player
1895 – 1969
Who was Box Case?
Cecil Charles Cole Case, known as Box Case, born at Frome, Somerset on 7 September 1895 and died at Keyford, Frome, Somerset on 11 November 1969, played first-class cricket for Somerset as an amateur batsman between 1925 and 1935.
Case was a right-handed middle-order batsman whose batting technique, in one account, was "limited and effective". He also kept wicket very occasionally in the period at the end of the 1920s and into the 1930s when regular Somerset wicketkeeper Wally Luckes was ill. Although the Somerset side in Case's time often contained amateur players who appeared in relatively few matches, Case was virtually a regular, appearing in 255 matches for the county in 11 seasons, plus two for the Gentlemen in Gentlemen v Players games in 1931 and 1934.
