Tim Tweats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tim Tweats (born April 18, 1974) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1992 and 1999, and for Staffordshire in 2000.

He made his debut for Derbyshire in a loss against Glamorgan, though, playing as a lower-middle order batsman, he barely disgraced himself, being caught at 24.

He would not play first-class cricket again until the 1995 season, spending all of 1993 and a significant portion of 1994 in the Second XI. A slow starter upon his return, he would excel in the 1997 season, where he hit his debut first-class century, before making a career-best score of 189, and finishing high in the batting averages for the season. During his high-scoring innings, Kim Barnett would partner him to a county record second-wicket stand of 417, a record which stands to this day.

In 2000 Tweats would reprise his career, playing for Staffordshire.

Tim is currently a business teacher at a staffordshire school
