Herbert Roy "Tiger" Lance (6 June 1940 – 10 November 2010) was a South African cricketer. Tiger Lance was born in Pretoria, Transvaal. He played in 13 Tests between 1962 and 1970 as an all-rounder. He was a forceful middle order batsman and useful seam bowler. His father William〔(William Lance at Cricket Archive )〕 and his younger brother Anthony〔(Anthony Lance at Cricket Archive )〕 also played first-class cricket in South Africa. His most successful series was against Australia in 1966-67, when he played several important innings after early wickets had fallen cheaply; he hit a six off the bowling of Ian Chappell to win not only the Fifth Test in Port Elizabeth, but also the series, South Africa's first series win against Australia in the eleventh series between the two countries. In the five Tests of the series he scored 261 runs at 37.28. His form in domestic matches in 1969-70 was moderate and he was not selected for the First Test against Australia, but at the request of the captain Ali Bacher he was included in the side for the rest of the series.〔Rodney Hartman, ''Ali: The Life of Ali Bacher'', Penguin, Johannesburg, 2006, p. 132.〕 He was also selected for the 1970 tour of England and the 1971-72 tour of Australia, but neither series eventuated owing to anti-apartheid feeling in the host countries. He retired after the 1971-72 season. He died in hospital in Johannesburg, four weeks after the car he was driving was hit by a woman driving on the wrong side of the road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roy "Tiger" Lance dies )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tiger Lance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
