Oldest ex-test player dies

SOUTH African Lindsay Tuckett, who was the oldest surviving former test cricketer, died on Monday in Bloemfontein aged 97, his family said. A tall fast bowler, he won nine caps in home and away series against England between 1947 and 1949. He took 15 test wickets at an average of 44.26 in England, but only four in South Africa at an average of 79. His death makes another South African, 93-year-old John Watkins, the oldest surviving former test cricketer.
