Anthony David Bullick (born 30 July 1985) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played eight first-class and five List A matches for Otago between the 2007–08 and 2010–11 seasons.[1]
Bullick was born at Hamilton in 1985 and educated at King's College in Auckland[2] before gaining a degree in Tourism and Marketing from the University of Otago.[3] He played under-17 cricket for Auckland in the 2000–01 season, and went on to make his senior representative debut for Otago in a November 2007 first-class match against Wellington at the Basin Reserve. Primarily a bowler, Bullick took a total of 15 first-class wickets in his eight matches, with best innings bowling figures of 3/51.[4]
After playing in England for St Helens Recreation in the Liverpool Premier League in 2008 and Banbury Cricket Club in the Home Counties Premier League in 2009,[4] he played five List A matches for Otago in the 2009–10 season. These were Bullick's only List A matches; he took 14 wickets and was described by the Otago Daily Times as "one of the finds of the season" with "a very bright future".[3] He took his best List A bowling figures of 4/60 in his final match, as well as scoring a rapid 33 not out to guide Otago to victory.[5] A hip injury during the following season restricted Bullick to just two first-class matches for Otago, his final senior matches.[3]
Although he had earned an Otago contract for the 2011–12 season, a back injury―described as "debilitating" and caused by a bulging disk―forced Bullick to retire from professional cricket in October 2011.[3]
