Charles McCrum (born 8 December 1964 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is an Irish former cricketer.[1] A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler,[2] he played 22 times for the Ireland cricket team between 1990 and 1994[3] including one first-class match against Scotland[4] and two List A matches in the NatWest Trophy.[5] His brother Paul has also played cricket for Ireland.[6]

Career

Having played once for Gloucestershire Under-25s in 1985,[7] McCrum first played for Ireland in June 1990 against the MCC. He then spent two years out of the Ireland side[3] before playing his only first-class match against Scotland in June 1992.[4] This was followed by his List A debut against Durham the same month,[5] and he rounded out 1992 with a match against the MCC, two matches against an England amateur XI and a match against Gloucestershire.[3]

In 1993, he played his final List A match against Yorkshire[5] before seven more matches for Ireland, including games against Barbados, Wales, the MCC and the Netherlands.[3] He represented Ireland at the 1994 ICC Trophy,[8] winning the man of the match award against Gibraltar,[9] which were his last matches for Ireland.[3]

Statistics

In all matches for Ireland, McCrum scored 567 runs at an average of 25.77 with a top score of 70 against Scotland in 1992,[3] also his highest first-class score.[4] He took 25 wickets at an average of 29.24 with his best bowling performance being 4/16 against Gibraltar in 1994.[3]
