Frank Tyson waits at Northampton station to join England's 1954/5 tour to Australia



Tyson's fast bowling was the key to England's retention of the Ashes on that tour.

As Lord Kitchener put it:
Tyson taught them a lesson that can't be forgotten,
Tyson taught them a lesson that can't be forgotten,
We began quietly, but we came back with victory,
Good captaincy from Len Hutton, but the honours must go to Typhoon Tyson.
Even in slow motion, Tyson looks dangerously fast.
