About Bernard Tancred

Augustus Bernard Tancred was a 19th-century South African Test cricketer. His brothers, Vincent and Louis, also played Test cricket for South Africa. Tancred was an obvious choice for the first South African cricket side, assembled to play the first touring English cricket team during its two Test tour of South Africa in the 1888–89 South African cricket season. This innings is still the Test Match record for the lowest score made by a batsman carrying their bat through an innings.
