Famous Cricketers No 60 - Ernest Tyldesley

Between August 8th and 21st he got no cricket at all owing to the two abandonments; in his final game at Blackpool he tore a thigh muscle in his left leg, completing his innings with George Duckworth as runner. Wisden excused the fall of 15 in his average from its 1930 level as being satisfactory “considering the many soft wickets”. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 516.
