Frank Holmes Tyson, born in 1946, was an England international cricketer who served as a schoolmaster, journalist, cricket coach, and cricket commentator after emigrating to Australia in 1960.
"Typhoon Tyson," the press called him, was regarded by many commentators as one of the fastest bowlers ever seen in cricket, and he took 76 wickets (18.56) in 17 Test matches.
Tyson has the seventh-lowest bowling average in Test cricket for bowlers under 75 wickets, and no bowler since Tyson has taken more than 20 wickets at a lower rate.
A panel of judges named him Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for 1955, 1954-1985), where his 28 wickets (20.82) was instrumental in retaining the Ashes.
Tyson led Victoria to two Sheffield Shield victories and then coached the Sri Lankan national cricket team.
On ABC and Channel Nine, he was a cricket commentator for 26 years.
Early life
Violet Tyson (born 1892) and his father worked for the Yorkshire Dyeing Company, but died before his son was selected for England. He played cricket with his elder brother David Tyson, who served in Australia during the war, and he trained on the balcony at school.
He was educated at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Middleton, and studied English literature at Hatfield College, Durham University.
Tyson, a University graduate, was unusual among professional cricketers in the 1950s. On tour, he was a qualified schoolmaster and was able to read Geoffrey Chaucer, George Bernard Shaw, and Virginia Woolf. He quoted Wordsworth: "Fortegoing, the more he works, the more he does his ankles swell." He served in the Royal Corps of Signals in 1952 as a Keyboard Operator and Cypher. Most sportsmen were retained on headquarters, and he played cricket for his platoon, squadron, regiment, area command, and the Army. He spent time at the Headquarters Squadron 4 Training Regiment, where he supervised male movements in and out of Catterick, but not so well. He abhorred firearms, and when he took his rifle lessons, he made sure he never missed the target. He played in the valleys between 1952-53, which John Snow regarded as a good way to build the muscles of a fast bowler and attended Alf Gover's East Hill Indoor School for cricketers. Gover, a writer who lived in 1954-1955, wrote about the Ashes tour, advising Tyson to use the shorter run-up from his league cricket days, which proved to be a turning point in the series.
Early cricket career 1952–54
Tyson played for Middleton in the Central Lancashire League, Knypersley in the North Staffordshire League, Durham University, and the Army before being a professional cricketer. Despite being eligible for Lancashire's Old Trafford trials, he was turned down "because he dipped at the knee," so he applied for Northamptonshire in 1952 through residence. In 1952, Tyson made his first-class debut against the Indian tourists. After his first ball, the slips were moved an extra five yards and his first wicket was of Test batsman Pankaj Roy for a duck. In 1953, Tyson's second-class match against the Australians was the second in his first-class match. Richie Benaud was told that the mysterious Tyson, a bowler fresh from Durham University, would not cause them any harm. They began to revise this estimate when they saw the wicketkeeper take place halfway across the boundary and young Tyson walk across to the view screen to begin his run. Colin McDonald's bat was ricocheted off the edge of his bat to the boundary, and the second trapped him lbw before he could play a stroke, and the fourth was a yorker who snagged Hole and sent his stumps cartwheeling over the wicketkeeper's head. The ball bounced on the pitch in 1954 at Old Trafford Tyson after it bounced once on the screen. He is one of only four bowlers to have pulled off such a feat in the game's history, among the others are Charles Kortright, Roy Gilchrist, and Jeff Thomson. In the first year, he earned his county cap for the first time in his first full first-class season. As ex-England captains Gubby Allen and Norman Yardley saw him hospitalize Bill Edrich at Lords, Tyson said he received his Test call up. Edrich, a well-known fast bowler, mistimed his stroke due to the ball's speed and his cheek bone was fractured. The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) were therefore convinced of Tyson's bowling's speed and hostility and decided to transport him to Australia. In 1954, he was selected to play for England against Pakistan at the Oval, taking 4–35 and 1–22 and 3 runs in each innings, but Pakistan won the match by 24 runs thanks to Fazal Mahmood's bowling. Despite being batting at number eleven in league cricket, the Middleton groundsman was a fatalist. When I went in to bat, he started up the roller to resurrect the wicket. Tyson worked on his cricket and earned a reputation as an all-rounder, scoring consistently with the bat," he wrote for England. Nonetheless, this did not develop as much as expected, and he reverted to being a lower-order batsman.
Later cricket career 1955–1959

Tyson returned to England as a hero, but Northants refused to pay for a civic reception, although the Supporters Club arranged a Welcome Home function at the Northampton Repertory Theatre. Northamptonshire was an unpopular county with its "cabbage patch" home wickets, which reduced Tyson's bowling's effectiveness and shortened his career. Because of their spin bowlers George Tribe, Jack Manning, and Micky Allen, management dismissed his calls for a quicker wicket. In those days, N Hutton advised him to return to Lancashire to join Brian Statham, but county transfers were difficult, and Tyson stayed at Northants. In the Test arena, he displayed the speed that had defeated the Australians on a green wicket at Trent Bridge, taking 2/51 and 6/28 against South Africa, who lost by an innings. He had taken 52 wickets at 15.56 in his first nine tests, but this was effectively the end of his career as England's top fast bowler. He missed the Second Test at Lord's due to a badly injured right heel, and the injury will follow him for the remainder of his career. It was believed at the time that this was due to his brutal pounding his foot received when he handed the ball, but the problem was later discovered to be caused by his heel turning in ill-fitting boots. Fred Trueman and Tyson's last eight Tests were played intermittently for a year before he retired. He returned to play in the Third Test versus South Africa at Old Trafford on Wednesday, scoring 3/124 and 3.55, but missed the last two Tests. He was ruled out of the England team due to a string of injuries, and he did not play until the Fifth Test against Australia at The Oval in 1956, when he took 1/34 in the first innings but not in the second. He barely bowled in the First Test at Johannesburg in 1956–57, and was only remembered for the Fifth Test at Port Elizabeth, where he took 2/38 and 6/40 bowling off a five-yard run off a five-yard run up. In 1957, he bowled his first-class bowling, winning 8/60 against Surrey at the Kennington Oval with 5/52, his highest match figures. 'Nearly half of the runs scored off him came from the edge,' Wisden said. Tyson toured Australia in 1958-1959, but the pitches were slower than four years ago, and the injury-plagued Tyson only played in the Fourth and Fifth Tests, taking 3 wickets at 64.33. In the Second Test at Auckland, he took 3–23 and 2–23 wickets, with his last ball in Test cricket, and his last hurrah was in New Zealand, where he took 3–23 and 2–23. In 1959–60, he toured South Africa with the Commonwealth XI, winning 1/80 and 4/53 against Transvaal.
Later career
On the 1954–55 tour, Frank Tyson married Ursula Miels (born 1936) in Melbourne, and the couple married in a Melbourne church on November 22, 1957 with much buzz. They had three children, Philip (a non-Typhoon medium-paced bowler), Sara and Anna, and eight grandchildren. In 1960, he retired from first-class cricket and emigrated to Australia as a ten-pound pom as his hero Harold Larwood had done ten years ago. "While I was over there, it had occurred to me that it was a wonderful place to raise a family, with the open spaces, the climate, and the job opportunities." He began teaching English, French, and History at Carey Baptist Grammar School in Melbourne, before being a housemaster and head of languages.
Tyson spent time as a cricket coach in Melbourne and was the captain-coach of University of Melbourne Cricket Club. In 1961, he played for Todmorden Cricket Club in the Lancashire League, and in 1964, the Prime Ministers XI defeated Old England vs. Old Australia in 1980 and Footscray Cricket Club. He was recruited as the Director of Coaching for the Victorian Cricket Association, winning two Sheffield Shield titles and assisting with the establishment of the Australian National Accreditation Scheme in 1974. He went to India from 1990 to 2008 to train the coaches at the National Cricket Academy and Mumbai Cricket Association, as well as coaching the Sri Lankan national cricket team for the World Cup.
On his 1954-55 tour, he had written columns for the Empire News and Manchester Evening News, and after he retired, he wrote for the Melbourne News, the Daily Telegraph, and The Cricketer International newspaper. He was also a cricket commentator on ABC radio for 26 years, and he appeared on Channel Nine from 1979 to 1986, building a team with Tony Greig.
Tyson enjoyed his home on the Gold Coast, where he could "wake up every day in the sun" after his complete retirement. He went to the gym three times a week, loved swimming, and spent his time making oil paintings of cricketers and cricket grounds.
