Nicolaas Hendrik Christiaan de Jong Theunissen (4 May 1867 – 9 November 1929) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1889. He became a minister.

Career[]

Theunissen was an opening bowler who took 34 wickets in three non-first-class matches for provincial sides against the touring R. G. Warton's XI in 1888–89.[1] Selected for South Africa in the Second Test at the end of the tour, he opened the bowling but failed to take a wicket.[2]

In 1889–90 he played two first-class matches in Cape Town. In the first, he took 5 for 55 and 6 for 53 for Western Province against Natal.[3] In the second, which began the day after the previous one ended, he took 2 for 47 and 7 for 41 for Cape Town Clubs against Natal.[4]

From 1916 until his death in 1929, Theunissen was a minister in the Transvaal town of Greylingstad.[5]
