Benjamin John Bush (1867 â 29 June 1913) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in one first-class match for Canterbury in 1887/88, opening the bowling with David Dunlop and taking eight wickets in the match, which Canterbury nevertheless lost.
Bush, who worked as a painter, suffered from epileptic fits. He was found unconscious in Moorhouse Avenue, Christchurch, one evening in June 1913, having apparently fallen and fractured his skull. He was taken to hospital but died the next day without regaining consciousness.
