About Ernest Tyldesley

George Ernest Tyldesley (5 February 1889 – 5 May 1962) was an English cricketer. The younger brother of Johnny Tyldesley and the leading batsman for Lancashire. He remains Lancashire's most prolific run-getter of all time, and is one of only a few batsmen to have scored 100 centuries in the first-class game. In Test cricket, Tyldesley was part of England sides that won the Ashes in 1926, and 1928–29. He also played in four Ashes matches in England, out of his 14 Tests overall, which included three centuries. Tyldesley was called 'George' at home, his given first name. That season he reached 1,000 runs for the first time and in 1914, the last season before war put a stop to cricket, he maintained this form.
