Colin Gerald Mitchell, born at Brislington, Bristol on 27 January 1929 and died there on 13 September 2007, played first-class cricket as an amateur for Somerset in the early 1950s.
[1] Mitchell was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler.
He had one highly successful match – though, true to form, Somerset lost the game.
In between these two bowling performances, he made an unbeaten 26, batting at No 11 in Somerset's second innings, so his two best bowling returns and his highest first-class score all came in the same game.
[2] After the 1953 season, he made only two further first-class appearances, both in August 1954, without success.
