Challen Hasler Lufkin Skeet (17 August 1895 – 20 April 1978) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Middlesex and Oxford University between 1919 and 1922.[1]
Skeet was born in Oamaru, Otago, New Zealand.[2] His family moved to England when he was a boy and he was educated at St Paul's School, London, and Merton College, Oxford. He served as a second lieutenant in the 12th Royal Fusiliers during World War I and was taken prisoner during the Battle of Loos in September 1915.[3]
Skeet was "a solid bat rather than a stroke player" but was "one of the great fieldsmen of his time".[4] In the last match of the 1920 season he played an innings for Middlesex that helped them win the County Championship: against Surrey at Lord's they were 73 behind on the first innings but Skeet (who scored 106, his only first-class century) and Harry Lee opened the second innings with a partnership of 208, and Middlesex went on to win.[4]
He served the British government in Sudan for many years as a District Commissioner.[4][5] He married Aileen Grace Rand in London in 1926.[6] He died in West Tytherley, Hampshire.[2]
