Carl Bulfin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Edwin Bulfin (b. 19 August 1973) played in four one-day internationals in 1999.

Carl Bulfin was selected for the New Zealand cricket team after several explosive performances in the domestic one day and Cricket Max competition. Known for his steam-rolling fast medium deliverys and striking blonde dreadlocks, Bulfin was a revelation and a novelty on the cricket field during the mid/late 1990s and injected some much needed fast bowling excitement into an arena that was saturated with many mediocre medium pacers. Although Bulfin was selected for New Zealand to play against South Africa and then again in the '99 World Cup pool games, he failed to convert the promise he showed on the domestic scene on to the International scene. He was born in Blenheim and has now retired from the game after injuries and poor form forced him away from the sport in 2000. He now works as a promising house painter and is part of the "Painters society" in central blenheim along with established brushie Roger Collett. Bulfin mentored promising young bowlers in the Blenheim area.
