Charles Omer Nicholls (5 December 1901 – 14 January 1983) was an Australian cricketer.[1] He played 12 first-class matches, all bar one of them for New South Wales between the 1925–26 and 1928–29 seasons.[2]
Born at Freemans Reach in New South Wales, Nicholls made his first-class debut for New South Wales in December 1925. He took two wickets and scored 12 runs on debut.[2] Described as a "very tall all-rounder"[3] who played club cricket for Central Cumberland,[4] the following season he scored his only first-class century, making 110 runs against Victoria at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Earlier in the season he had taken nine wickets, including a five-wicket haul, against South Australia on the same ground, and these performances saw him earn a trial for the national team in October 1928. [2][3] He took two wickets and scored 47 runs in The Rest's second innings, but was not called in to the national side and played no more first-class cricket after the end of the 1928–29 season.[2]
Nicholls died at Freemans Reach in 1983. He was aged 81.[1]
