Famous Cricketers No 60 - Ernest Tyldesley

Analysis of Scores of Not Out Innings Between 0* and 49* 58 times 50* and 99* 28 times 100* and 149* 13 times 150* and 199* 5 times 200* and over 2 times 106 He never concluded an innings on 1* (astonishingly), 4*, 5* or 6*; otherwise he had not out innings of all scores up to and including 18*. His most frequent not out scores were 11* and 18* (4 times) and 26*, 31* and 40* (3 times). Analysis of All Scores Total 100s 50s Below 50 Completed Innings 855 82 163 610 Not Outs 106 20 28 58 961 102 191 668 Scores Never Made Of the five scores between 0 and 100 for which he was never dismissed, he did end innings on 62* (twice) and 80* (once). He thus never finished an innings (out or not out) on 86, 98 or 99. As regards scores over 100 he did once finish on 108* so the lowest figure over 100 on which he never ended an innings was 112. “Ducks” In his career Tyldesley was dismissed for 0 on 42 occasions. Of these 34 came in the first innings and 8 in the second. His two worst seasons were 1930 and 1931 when he collected 4 and 6 “ducks” respectively. Only twice was he dismissed for a “pair” - both times by Kent, in 1913 and 1924. Kent were, not surprisingly, the team who dismissed him most often for 0 (6 times), followed by Warwickshire (5 times) and Sussex and Yorkshire (4 times each). He never failed to score against Hampshire, Northamptonshire or Somerset. His 42 “ducks” in 961 innings represented, on average, one in every 23 visits to the wicket, which compares favourably with, for example, Sir Donald Bradman’s 16 in 338 and Denis Compton’s 40 in 839 (every 21 visits) and Peter May’s 31 in 618 (every 20 visits).
