Percival James Turnbull (25 October 1862 – 12 March 1937) was an Australian-born cricketer who played for a single first-class match in New Zealand Otago during the 1884–85 season. [1] [2]
Turnbull was born at Hobart in Tasmania in 1862, although his family had moved to Dunedin in Otago by the time his brother, Albert Turnbull was born four years later. [3] He played club cricket alongside Albert and another brother, Alfred, for the Grange Cricket Club in the city, [4] [5] although he later joined Albion Cricket Club. [6] Considered the side's "champion bowler" during his time playing for Grange, [7] Turnbull made a single first-class appearance for the Otago provincial team during the 1884–85 season. [1]
Playing against Auckland in a game played at Lancaster Park in Christchurch, he opened the bowling and took three wickets. Along with Charlie Frith, who also took three wickets, he was considered a key player as Auckland were dismissed for a total of 83 runs. [1] During the 1886–87 season he played in an Otago team of 22 against the touring Australian side at Carisbrook, taking the wicket of Billy Trumble. [1]
Professionally Turnbull worked as a leather dresser. [3] He died at Christchurch in March 1937 aged 74. [2]
