Tyrell Fabian Johnson (10 January 1917 – 5 April 1985) was a West Indian international cricketer who played in one Test match in 1939.
Tall and thin, Johnson was a left-arm fast-medium bowler. He played for Trinidad in three consecutive finals of the Inter-Colonial Tournament in the late 1930s.[1] He was picked for the 1939 West Indies cricket tour to England after taking six wickets for 41 runs in a trial match in February 1939 and leading the West Indian first-class bowling figures for season with 22 wickets at an average of 9.59.[2]
In England in 1939, Johnson took a wicket with his first ball of the tour at Worcester, but was picked for only eight other first-class matches. That included, however, the third Test of the three-match series at The Oval, where he repeated his instant success by taking the wicket of Walter Keeton with his first delivery.[3] He took two further wickets in the match (Len Hutton and Norman Oldfield),[4] but managed only 16 on the tour as a whole, at an average of 32 runs per wicket.[5]
This single Test match was Johnson's last first-class cricket appearance.[6] He worked in Trinidad as a customs officer.[3]
