Charles Gerrard Deane (8 March 1885 – 14 December 1914) played first-class cricket for Somerset from 1907 to 1913.
Educated at Taunton School, Deane was a middle or lower order right-handed batsman and an occasional right-arm medium-pace bowler.
[2] He played fairly regularly for Somerset in the poor season of 1907, though his batting average in 14 matches was only 10.91 and his highest score was just 47.
[4] The following year, 1911, Deane made his highest score with 78 in a high-scoring match against Hampshire at Southampton.
According to his obituary in Wisden's 1915 edition, Deane died of "fever" while serving in India with the "1st Detachment of the 5th Devon Territorials".
