Who was Talbot Lewis?

Albert Edward Lewis, known as "Talbot Lewis", was an English first-class cricketer who played for Somerset between 1899 and 1912. He reappeared for Somerset in one match after the start of the First World War in August 1914, although he played under an assumed name, A. Key.

An allrounder, Lewis was a middle to lower order batsman and right-arm fast-medium pace bowler. He scored 9 first-class hundreds, his highest was an unbeaten 201 against Kent in 1909 after he'd made a duck in his first innings. Somerset followed on and Lewis's innings earned them a draw. With the ball he took over 500 wickets for Somerset and took his best innings bowling figures of 8 for 103 against Warwickshire in 1908, finishing the match with 14 wickets.
