Charles Graham van der Gucht (born 14 January 1980) is a former English cricketer.
The grandson of the cricketer Paul van der Gucht, he was born at Hammersmith in January 1980. He was educated at Radley College,[1] before matriculating to the College of St Hild and St Bede at Durham University.[2] van der Gucht played for the Hampshire Cricket Board (HCB) in the 1999 ECB 38-County Cup and later in the season, he made his debut in List A one-day cricket for the HCB against Suffolk at Bury St Edmunds in the NatWest Trophy first round. He played two further one-day matches in that competition, in the second and third rounds against Shropshire and Glamorgan respectively.[3]
Having been a member of Hampshire's under-19 Championship winning team in 1998,[4] he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Hampshire against the touring Zimbabweans at Southampton in 2000.[5] He took figures of 3 for 75 with his slow left-arm orthodox bowling in the Zimbabweans first innings, notably dismissing Murray Goodwin.[6] He made an additional first-class appearance while studying at Durham, playing for Durham UCCE against Lancashire in June 2001.[5] In July 2001, van der Gucht was involved in a serious accident when he was run over by a taxi on Twickenham Bridge in London, breaking both of his legs.[7] His recovery required him to undertake intensive physiotherapy that winter,[8] but it would take thirteen months for him to return to playing.[9] After recovering from the accident, he captained the Hampshire Second XI, but did not feature again for the first team. As a result, van der Gucht left Hampshire at the end of the 2003 season to pursue a career away from cricket.[4] He ended his brief cricket career with four first-class and five one-day wickets.[10]
