Who was Len Tuckett?
Lindsay Richard 'Len' Tuckett was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1914. He was the father of Lindsay who also played Test cricket. He played for the teams of South Africa, Natal, and Orange Free State.
Tuckett is part of one of the more unusual first-class batting records. When playing for the Orange Free State against Western Province at Bloemfontein during the 1925/26 Currie Cup competition, Tuckett was involved in a century partnership for the tenth wicket in both innings, the only time this has occurred in first-class cricket history. Tuckett put on 115 runs in the first innings with LG Fuller, and 129 runs in the second innings with F Caulfield.
