His parents were both New Zealanders by birth, with his mother being the daughter of Edward Joshua Riddiford and granddaughter of Henry Bunny, both prominent landowners there.
A wicket-keeper and right-handed top-order batsman,[6] Lindsay went on to play three more first-class games during the 1929 season – two for Oxford (against the Free Foresters and Lancashire), and one for Scotland, his father's place of residence.
He kept wicket and opened the batting (with Colin Fairservice) against Warwickshire,[9] but Les Ames, the county's usual wicket-keeper, returned against Middlesex, with Lindsay playing solely as a batsman.
Upon leaving office, he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in the 1955 Birthday Honours.
