Hilton Bendixen

Cricket career
Bendixen began his cricket career playing for Western Suburbs juniors in Nambour and in 1932 he made his A Grade debut for Nambour and took 4 for 141. He helped Nambour win against a Brisbane XI in 1935 by taking three wickets. In October he took 4 for 13 against Landsborough for Nambour earning praise for his accuracy as a bowler, and in November a report noted his bowling form seemed to be improving every match. In February 1936 a report noted Bendixen may be selected for the State if he could perform well in the country cricket carnival in Brisbane, as there was a lack of good Queensland bowlers. In September he decided to improve his cricket by playing in Brisbane Grade Cricket, traveling to the city from Nambour on weekends, and he was trialed by the Brisbane Colts team, however as of 1937 he was still playing for Nambour. In 1937 he was selected to represent Maroochy district in a combined Wide Bay XI against a combined Brisbane XI.
In 1939, Bendixen married and was presented with a chromium plated smokers' stand by the Nambour Cricket Club. He represented a Maroochy team at the Country Week Cricket carnival in 1940, taking 27 wickets at an average of 14.15. In November 1940 he took 9 for 47 in a match for Nambour against Palmwoods utilizing swing bowling but also a leg-break, and he performed well with the bat in the season scoring prolifically including a century.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hilton Bendixen” as australian cricketer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as australian cricketer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q99800504. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1910, 1962, 1941 and 1932.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
