Captain Bernard Philip Nevile (1 August 1888 – 11 February 1916) was an English first-class cricketer who played five games for Worcestershire in 1913, and another for Free Foresters a year earlier. He also played for and captained[1] Lincolnshire in the Minor Counties Championship.
Career
Born at Wellingore Hall, Lincolnshire, Nevile made his first-class debut in June 1912, playing for Free Foresters against Cambridge University, scoring 4 in his only innings and bowling a single over without reward. He attended Cambridge himself, not getting into the First XI, but gaining a blue for golf.[1]
The following season he appeared five times for Worcestershire, but only twice made an impression. Against Kent in mid-July he took 3–29 in the first innings (his maiden wicket being that of opener Punter Humphreys); and against Surrey a fortnight later, in what proved to be his final game, he claimed a career-best 4-53.
Nevile joined the Army in World War I, and served in the Lincolnshire Regiment.[1] He was killed near Ypres, Belgium at the age of just 27.[2]
His brother Charles also played for Lincolnshire at minor counties level, but did not make a first-class appearance.
