About Huntsman Williams

  • Benjamin Huntsman Williams (10 June 1944 – 3 August 1978) was a Rhodesian first-class cricketer. Williams, a left-arm fast-medium bowler, was a good enough player in his youth to have represented Rhodesian Nuffield, South African Schools and Rhodesia Country Districts by his 18th birthday.He made his first-class debut in the 1963/64 Currie Cup season, playing for Orange Free State against North Eastern Transvaal.
  • Despite opening the bowling in each innings, he failed to take a wicket.In 1966 he appeared for Matabeleland against the touring Australian team, in a non first-class fixture.
  • He took four first innings wickets, Bob Simpson, Bob Cowper, Ian Redpath and Keith Stackpole.
  • This earned him a call up to the Rhodesian side to take on the same opponent and he made two further first-class appearances in the 1966/67 Currie Cup competition.
  • He didn't play again for Rhodesia until the 1969/70 Currie Cup, when he took part in four matches.When not playing cricket, Williams worked as a farmer, in Inyati.
  • On 3 August 1978, while on duty as a police reserve, he was killed when a rocket was fired at his vehicle, by Bush War terrorists.
