Thomas James Edwin Andrews (26 August 1890 – 28 January 1970) was an Australian cricketer who played in 16 Tests from 1921 to 1926.[1] At the end of 1921, the Cricketer regarded him as the third best Australian batsman on that year's tour behind Bardsley and Macartney.[2]
He was regarded as one of the great cover-point fieldsmen. He was described as "very strong and stockily built" with "the sort of hands that resist without discomfort the hardest hits and which, moreover, always seem to be in the right place to gather the ball." "Quickness of foot, clever anticipation and a beautiful return made by the flick of a wrist, are his in addition; and the complete result is a perfect fieldsman."[2]
