Carl Ernest Beal (12 July 1887 – 16 August 1916) was an Australian-born New Zealand cricketer. He played 12 matches of first-class cricket for Otago and Canterbury between 1906 and 1915.[1] [2]
In January 1914 Beal scored 105 for Canterbury against Wellington in the Plunket Shield, reaching his century in 110 minutes.[3] In January 1915 he scored 242 not out playing for East Christchurch, a record score for the Christchurch club competition.[4] Shortly afterwards he began to suffer from tuberculosis, and he returned to Melbourne with his wife. He died in Melbourne in August 1916 aged 29.[1] [5] [6]
Beal's brother William also played for Otago and went on to umpire first-class matches in New Zealand.[7]
