Lindsay Tuckett

Lindsay Tuckett (6 February 1919 – 5 September 2016) was a South African cricketer who played in nine Test matches from 1947 to 1949.

A lower-order right-handed batsman and a fast-medium right-arm bowler who specialised in in-swingers, he took regular wickets for one of the weaker provincial sides for the next 20 years, but had a much shorter career in Tests.

When the Marylebone Cricket Club toured South Africa in the 1948–49 season, Tuckett was again chosen as an opening bowler in four out of the five Tests, but could not repeat his form of 18 months earlier.

In the first Test, he bowled the last possible over of the match, and on the eighth and final ball England's ninth wicket pair of Alec Bedser and Cliff Gladwin scrambled the single run that gave the touring side victory.

Following the death of Norman Gordon on 2 September 2014, Tuckett was the oldest living Test cricketer.
