A left-hand batsman and wicketkeeper, Bertie Brownlow played eight times for Tasmania in their pre-Sheffield Shield days in the 1950s before becoming a state selector and serving for years as an administrator, including a stint as chairman of the Tasmanian Cricket Association. He often joked about his first-ball duck, inflicted by Trevor Bailey, when he played against the 1954-55 England tourists.
