Charles William Gregory (30 September 1878 – 14 November 1910) was an Australian cricketer who played for New South Wales.
In November 1906, Gregory scored 383 for New South Wales against Queensland, at the time an Australian record.[1][2] It is also the highest score made by an Australian cricketer who has not played in a Test match.[3]
Gregory was born in Sydney; he died at the age of 32 in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst.
Four of his relatives played Test cricket for Australia: his brother Syd won 58 caps, his cousin Jack 24, his uncle Dave three and his father Ned one. Two more uncles, Arthur and Charles, had short first-class careers.
Gregory died at the age of 32 in St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney of blood poisoning deriving from an abscess on the ear.[4][5]
