Bertie Joseph Tuckwell (6 October 1882 – 2 January 1943) was an Australian-born cricketer who played first-class cricket in Australia and New Zealand.
Born in Melbourne, Tuckwell played three first-class matches for Victoria in 1903.[1] On his first-class debut in 1902-03, in Victoria's first-ever match against Queensland,[2] he scored 93 not out, batting at number seven, before Victoria declared. Victoria won by an innings.[3] He moved to New Zealand and continued his cricket career, playing for Otago and Wellington.
He toured Australia with the New Zealand team in 1913-14, and later that season he played for New Zealand against the touring Australian team in New Zealand.[2] In the first of the two international matches, batting at number three, he top-scored for New Zealand in the first innings with 50, but he was omitted from the team for the second match.[4] As well as being an attractive batsman, strong on the cut, he was a reliable slips fieldsman.[2]
Tuckwell was a prominent businessman in Wellington. He died there on 2 January 1943 after a short illness. He was survived by his son and two daughters.[5]
