Famous Cricketers No 60 - Ernest Tyldesley

Two other events are worthy of note: in tropical heat at The Oval in July he had followed up his 123 with his best bowling performance ever - his 3 wickets for 33 (he was the seventh bowler tried!) included Surrey’s two top scorers, Shepherd and Peach. The other instance came during his 78 in the Old Trafford Test; he was at the wicket when, amidst the confusion following Lionel Tennyson’s misjudged and illegal declaration, Armstrong bowled his second consecutive over - still a unique occurrence in a Test Match since the outlawing of this practice.
