George Bull was an English cricketer.[1] He was a fast bowler.[2][3]

Bull made two first-class appearances for Hampshire in the 1900 County Championship against Yorkshire and Essex.[4] On debut against Yorkshire at The Circle, Hull, Bull started the match as a substitute fielder for Yorkshire after two of their players were late arriving; he was only on the field for ten minutes but took the catch to dismiss his own captain, Charles Robson, in Schofield Haigh's first over.[5] Batting at number 11, he ended Hampshire's first-innings of 128 unbeaten on 0, while in Yorkshire's first-innings total of 460, he bowled six wicketless overs. In Hampshire's second-innings of 61 all out, he was dismissed for 2 runs by Wilfred Rhodes, with Yorkshire winning by an innings and 271 runs.[6] Against Essex at the County Ground, Leyton, Hampshire had been playing with ten men until Bull arrived on the final day. Batting in their second-innings, he scoring 10 runs before he was dismissed for 10 by Bill Reeves, as Essex won the match by 206 runs.[7][8]

Bull played club cricket for Andover. In a match against Newbury on 14 July 1900, he took all ten wickets in the first innings, finishing with figures of 10 for 45.[1]
