Charles Christopher Ellison (born 11 February 1962) is an English former cricketer.
Ellison was born at Pembury in February 1962 to Peter and Bridget Ellison.[1] He was educated at Tonbridge School, before going up to the University of Cambridge where he studied at both Peterhouse and Homerton College.[2] While studying at Cambridge, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against Glamorgan at Fenner's in 1982.[3] He played first-class cricket for Cambridge until 1986, making a total of 23 appearances.[3] Most notably he dismissed Graham Gooch for 99 on the first day of the 1985 season.[1] Ellison scored a total of 268 runs in his 23 matches, with a high score of 51 not out.[4] With his right-arm medium pace bowling, he took 39 wickets at an average of 35.46, with best figures of 5 for 82.[5] These figures, which were his only first-class five wicket haul, came against Leicestershire in 1986.[6]
In addition to playing first-class cricket, Ellison also played List A one-day for the Combined Universities cricket team, making five appearances in the Benson & Hedges Cup between 1982 and 1986.[7] He also played minor counties cricket for Wiltshire between 1984 and 1988, making eleven appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[8] His older brother, Richard, played Test cricket for England. His grandfather, Henry Ellison, and nephews, Charlie Ellison and Harry Ellison, both played first-class cricket.
