Tim Edwards

Who is Tim Edwards?

Timothy Edwards is a former English cricketer, who played first-class and List A cricket for Worcestershire and minor counties cricket for Cornwall. He was born in Penzance.

Edwards' batting averages are substantially inflated by a high proportion of not outs: he remained undefeated in seven of 11 first-class innings, and four of five List A innings. However, in Second-XI cricket he made several substantial scores. Curiously, his two hundreds at this level were both made in the second innings for Worcestershire II against Nottinghamshire II at Trent Bridge: 100* in 1993 and 101* in 1995; in the latter match he also made 79 in the first innings.

After having made a number of appearances for the seconds since 1991, Edwards made his first-class debut against Oxford University at Worcester in June 1993, having a quiet game in which he took a single catch and did not bat in either innings. Another uneventful university game, against Cambridge at Fenner's, followed in early May 1994, and later that month he made his County Championship debut against Derbyshire at Derby; this time he took four catches in a drawn game. Edwards played nine first-class games in that 1994 season, taking 20 catches, and in fact never played first-class cricket again thereafter. He also appeared five times in one-day cricket during 1994. His best first-team batting performance was the 47 he hit in a simple Worcestershire victory over Oxford.
