Eric Balfour "Bill" Lundie (15 March 1888 – 12 September 1917) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1914.[1]
A fast bowler, Bill Lundie played eight first-class matches for three provinces between 1909 and 1914. His best figures were 6 for 52 in Eastern Province's loss to Border in 1908–09.[2] His only Test, and last first-class match, was the Fifth Test in England's tour of South Africa in 1913–14. Opening the bowling, and bowling into the wind, he took 4 for 101 off 46.3 overs as England made 411.[3][4] It was the last Test match before World War I.
In the war, Lundie served with the South African Service Corps before being commissioned as a second lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion of the Coldstream Guards. He was killed by shellfire during the Battle of Passchendaele on 12 September 1917.[5]
