"Anthony George "Tony" Nicholson" was an England/English cricketer: a medium-pace bowler who played county cricket for Yorkshire County Cricket Club/Yorkshire between 1962 and 1975. Of 403 matches at first-class cricket/first-class and List A cricket/List A level, only one — a game for Marylebone Cricket Club/MCC against Scotland cricket team/Scotland in 1963 — was not for Yorkshire.
Prior to joining the County club, he was a policeman in Southern Rhodesia.
Nicholson took 879 first-class wickets at an excellent bowling average/average of 19.75; writing many years later, James Lawton in the The Independent/Independent said that Nicholson "simply despised batsmen". He claimed 100 wickets in a season twice, in 1966 and 1967.
Despite his achievements, he never played for England cricket team/England, although he was selected for the 1964-65 tour of South Africa but had to withdraw injured.
