Albert Edward Lewis (20 January 1877 – 22 February 1956), known as Talbot Lewis, was an English first-class cricketer who played for Somerset between 1899 and 1912.[1] 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.[2]
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.
Football career
[edit]Lewis also played professional football as a goalkeeper with Sheffield United, Sunderland, Leicester Fosse and Bristol City amongst others.[3][4][5]
