Albert Edward Lewis (20 January 1877 – 22 February 1956), known as "Talbot Lewis", was an English first-class cricketer who played for Somerset between 1899 and 1912.^[1] He reappeared for Somerset in one match after the start of the First World War in August 1914, although he played under an assumed name, A. Key.^[2]

An allrounder, Lewis was a middle to lower order batsman and right-arm fast-medium pace bowler. He scored 9 first-class hundreds, his highest was an unbeaten 201 against Kent in 1909 after he'd made a duck in his first innings. Somerset followed on and Lewis's innings earned them a draw. With the ball he took over 500 wickets for Somerset and took his best innings bowling figures of 8 for 103 against Warwickshire in 1908, finishing the match with 14 wickets.

Football career[]

Lewis also played professional football, with Bristol City, Everton, Sunderland and Luton Town.^[3]
