James "Bonnor" Middleton (30 September 1865 – 23 December 1913) was a South African cricketer who played in six Tests from 1896 to 1902. On his debut, he took five wickets in the first innings against England in Port Elizabeth in 1896. [1]
Middleton served in the British Army until Cape Town Cricket Club bought his release so he could become their professional. [2] A left-arm slow-medium opening bowler, Middleton played for Western Province from 1890–91 to 1903–04. His best first-class figures were 7 for 64 in the Currie Cup final against Transvaal in 1897–98. He took 12 for 100 in the match, which Western Province won. [3]
Middleton was one of the leading players on South Africa's tour of England in 1894 when no Tests were played; in the South Africans' narrow victory over MCC at Lord's he bowled unchanged through both innings to take 6 for 48 and 6 for 35. [4]
His nickname was given because of his resemblance, as a hard-hitting batsman, to the Australian Test cricketer George Bonnor. [1] He died in Cape Town of heart failure after severe attacks of asthma and bronchitis. [5]
