Bertie Tuckwell

Bertie Joseph Tuckwell (6 October 1882 – 2 January 1943) was an Australian-born cricketer who played first-class cricket in Australia and New Zealand during the early years of the 20th century.

Born in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton in 1882, Tuckwell was educated at University College in Armadale. He played three first-class matches for Victoria during the 1902–03 and 1903–04 seasons. On his first-class debut, in Victoria's first-ever match against Queensland, he scored 93 not out, batting at number seven, before Victoria declared. Victoria won by an innings. He played club cricket for St Kilda and Melbourne Cricket Clubs before moving to New Zealand. He continued to play cricket there, playing four first-class matches for Otago before World War I and two for Wellington during the 1918–19 season. As well as being an attractive batsman, strong on the cut, he was a reliable slip fieldsman.
