Alex Tudor (born October 23, 1977 in Kensington) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler. He was awarded the NBC Denis Compton Award during the 1997 and 1998 season. A highly talented performer with bat and ball his career has been hampered by frequent injury trouble.
Tudor's Test debut came in the 1998/99 Ashes series in which he played solidly with the bat and further impressed selectors while bowling, winning the praise of his opponents, in particular Australia's captain Mark Taylor.
His further contributions with the bat were the subject of much attention as he batted against New Zealand and hit 99 not out, at the time the third highest score in a Test match by a nightwatchman (it is now the fourth) and the highest-ever score by an Englishman, which aided him towards a Cricket Writers' Club Young Cricketer of the Year award.
Initial omission from the 2002/03 Ashes squad was overruled when he was selected above several injured players. Injuries in 2003 and 2004 followed, but he has recently returned to playing. His recovery was aided by visits to the German doctor Dr Hans-Wilhem Muller-Wolfhart[1].
He holds the distinction of bowling one of the most expensive overs on record. Bowling for Surrey against Andrew Flintoff at Old Trafford in 1998 he went for 64444660 (34) and in bowling 2 no balls incurred, under ECB regulations at the time, four more penalty runs for a total of 38 runs in one over.
