England legend, hailed as one of the fastest bowlers of all time, passes away on the Gold Coast

England Test legend Frank ‘Typhoon’ Tyson has passed away on the Gold Coast, aged 85.

Tyson, whose career with England spanned 1954-59, took 76 wickets in 17 Tests at the remarkable average of 18.56.

A right-arm paceman who played 244 first-class matches during a decorated career with Northamptonshire, Tyson earned a reputation as one of the fastest bowlers in the history of the game – a standing endorsed by the late Richie Benaud, who claimed he was the quickest bowler he had ever seen.

The Englishman spent the latter part of his life in south-east Queensland, and died in hospital on the Gold Coast.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Tyson was a legend of English cricket. His strike rate (45.4) was fourth best all time among all England's bowlers with a minimum of 75 wickets. Only George Lohmann, Sydney Barnes and Johnny Briggs had a better strike rate. His average (18.56) was fifth best.

The British Pathe, as always, has some fantastic footage of the "Tyson Test" in Melbourne.
