Edward Russell Henry Fuller (2 August 1931 – 19 July 2008) was a South African cricketer who played in seven Tests from 1953 to 1957. He was born in Worcester, Western Cape and died in Milnerton, Cape Town. Fuller was a right-handed lower-order batsman who made useful runs in domestic South African cricket and a bowler of right-arm medium-fast cutters. In Test cricket, he was primarily used as a bowler and his Test highest score was only 17. First-class cricket Eddie Fuller attended Observatory Boys' High School in Cape Town before becoming an accountant. He made his first-class debut for Western Province in two matches in the 1950–51 season, but came to prominence at the start of the 1951–52 season by taking 10 wickets in just his third first-class match: he took three Transvaal wickets for 47 runs in the first innings and followed that with seven for 54 in the second to finish with match figures of 10 for 101. With a further five-wicket haul a month later against Natal, Fuller was picked, after just nine first-class games, for the South African tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1952–53. Test player Fuller played for the South Africans in several of the warm-up matches and in first-class games between the first three Tests, but was not called into the Test side until the fourth match of the five-game series against Australia. He had a quick success, taking the wicket of opening batsman Arthur Morris with the score at just 2, but then was one of four bowlers who conceded more than 100 runs each as the Australians totalled 530. He was also in the last-wicket partnership that enabled South Africa to avoid the follow-on, though all the runs were made by his partner Michael Melle. The match was drawn. Retaining his place for the fifth and final Test, Fuller was the most successful South African bowler in the match, which enabled his team to win and to square the series, the first time South Africa had not been beaten in a Test series against Australia. His three wickets in the first innings included Australian top-scorer Neil Harvey, and Harvey was among five victims for Fuller in the second innings at a cost of 66 runs, the best innings figures of his Test career. There were four further wickets for Fuller in the two-match series against New Zealand that followed
