This article is about the cricketer. For other uses, see Charles Townsend (disambiguation).
Charles Lucas Townsend (7 November 1876 – 17 October 1958) [1] was a Gloucestershire cricketer. An all-round cricketer, Townsend was classically stylish, left-handed batsman, who was able to hit well despite his slender build. His off-side strokes were particularly effective, and his driving allowed him to score at a consistent pace throughout his major innings. In his younger days Townsend was also a spin bowler, who relied chiefly on a big break from leg but could also turn the ball the other way.[2] He was often extremely difficult on sticky wickets but very rarely effective on good ones.
