There are five instances reflected in the above table where his entrances and exits have been affected by players retiring hurt earlier, viz: Match No in at out 390 3 0-30 8th 391 3 0-7 1st 456 3 0-1 1st 580 3 0-16 3rd 624 4 1-23 2nd The instances in Matches 391, 456 and 624 give rise to the implausable figures in the above table where he is seen to be out first on 2 occasions when going in No:3 and out second once when batting No:4. The number of wickets falling during Tyldesley’s not out innings are as follows: Batting at Not Out Wickets No 1 1 0 2 3 0 3 78 120 4 11 21 5 8 7 6 2 12 7 2 0 8 1 0 106 160 From the foregoing it can be calculated that, including his own dismissals and subject to the missing five innings, 1956 wickets fell while Ernest Tyldesley was at the crease.
