About Lyndhurst Winslow

Lived 1855 – 1915 (aged 60). Lyndhurst Winslow was a British cricketer.

Lyndhurst Winslow (10 January 1855 – 6 February 1915) was an English cricketer. Winslow was a right-handed batsman. The son of evangelical preacher Octavius Winslow and Hannah Ann Ring, he was born at Leamington, Warwickshire.

Winslow made his first-class debut for Sussex against Gloucestershire in 1875 at the County Ground, Hove. He scored a century in his maiden innings, making 124 runs. His second first-class appearance came shortly after this match, for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Cambridge University at Lord's.

He later emigrated to South Africa. In 1891 he was runner-up at the inaugural South African Championships tennis tournament in Port Elizabeth. Winslow died in Johannesburg on 6 February 1915. His son, Charles, was a three time Olympic tennis medalist. He won two gold medals, once each in the men's singles and doubles at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. Eight years later, in Antwerp, he won a bronze medal in the men's singles event. Charles' son and Lyndhurst's grandson, Paul, would play Test cricket for South Africa. Winslow's brother, Octavius Evans Winslow, was also a first-class cricketer.
