Former England cricketer Frank Tyson passed away at the age of 85 at his home in Australia over the weekend.

The Lancashire-born fast bowler claimed 76 wickets at an average of 18.56 in 17 Tests for England, and also helped his nation win The Ashes series in 1954-55.

Tyson, nicknamed 'Typhoon', spent less than five years of his career playing international Test cricket, and eventually retired at the age of 30.

The cricketer, who became a coach, commentator and writer after emigrating to Australia, recorded a total of 767 first-class wickets in his career.
