Tony Lock

Graham Anthony Richard Lock (5 July 1929 – 30 March 1995)[1] was an English cricketer, who played primarily as a left-arm spinner.

[2] He was inconsistent abroad, however, failing completely on the 1958/59 tour of Australia, but again terrorising the New Zealanders in the same winter, with 13 wickets at under nine runs apiece.

Though not achieving any great success with the ball, he contributed to the cause in another way, by making his highest first-class score of 89 in the first innings of the final Test at Georgetown, Guyana.

Lock's remaining playing career was spent entirely with Western Australia, and fittingly his last first-class wicket was that of an Australian Test player, Paul Sheahan.

In December 1993 he was found not guilty by a 10–2 majority of indecently assaulting a fifteen-year-old girl after inviting her to his home in Perth for a bowling lesson in 1987,[7] including placing her hand on the clothing covering his penis.

[8] Lock admitted to kissing the girl in a "friendly" manner but denied any sexual intent and refuted her allegation that he recommended she bowl in the nude.

[11] Lock asked for a permanent stay on the grounds he was dying of lung cancer with several doctors confirming he would be dead within two years.
