Tiger Lance Cricketer
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 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. 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.
