Description

Kimberley, Cape Province born lower order right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium pace bowler Ernest Bock played only two full seasons of first class cricket in South Africa, one for Griqualand West and one for Transvaal. With the bat he made his highest score playing for Griqualand West against Rhodesia in 1931-32, batting at No. 9, when he scored 78. In 1934-35, in the final match of the season for Transvaal against Orange Free State he took five wickets for eight runs as the Free State side were bowled out for 70.

After that bowling performance, he only appeared in three further first class games. The first of those was the Second Test against Australia at Johannesburg in December 1935, when he batted at No 11 in both innings, scoring 9 and 2, both times not out, and he failed to take a wicket in 23 overs. That was his only match that season and he then disappeared from cricket for four years until two final matches for North Eastern Transvaal in 1939-40.

In 19 first class matches he averaged 14.05 with the bat, making a single half century. With his bowling he took 32 wickets at 27.78 apiece, his 5-8 performance being his only five wicket haul.
