Bertie Joseph Tuckwell (6 October 1882 – 2 January 1943) was an Australian-born cricketer who played first-class cricket in Australia and New Zealand during the early years of the 20th century.[1]
Born in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton in 1882, Tuckwell was educated at University College in Armadale.[2] He played three first-class matches for Victoria during the 1902–03 and 1903–04 seasons.[3] On his first-class debut, in Victoria's first-ever match against Queensland,[4] he scored 93 not out, batting at number seven, before Victoria declared. Victoria won by an innings.[5] He played club cricket for St Kilda and Melbourne Cricket Clubs before moving to New Zealand. He continued to play cricket there, playing four first-class matches for Otago before World War I and two for Wellington during the 1918–19 season.[3]
He toured Australia with the New Zealand team in 1913–14, and later that season he played for the New Zealand side against the touring Australian team in New Zealand.[4] 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.[6] As well as being an attractive batsman, strong on the cut, he was a reliable slip fieldsman.[4]
Tuckwell was a prominent businessman in Wellington. He died there on 2 January 1943 after a short illness at the age of 60. He was survived by his son and two daughters.[1][7]
