Beaufort West, Cape Colony born Percy Twentyman-Jones was a South African sportsman who played international cricket in one Test in 1902, and international rugby union in three Tests in 1896. Twentyman-Jones played cricket for Western Province from 1898 to 1905 as a right-handed batsman. In early November 1902 he scored 33 and 50 (out of a total of just 80) against the touring Australian cricket team on a bad pitch and was picked for the Third Test match at Cape Town immediately afterwards. But he was dismissed without scoring in both innings in what would prove his only Test for South Africa.
He continued to play cricket for Western Province until 1905, and in 10 first class matches he averaged 18.00 with a highest score of 53, his only other half century.
Twentyman-Jones also played rugby union for Western Province and South Africa as a wing. He played in three international matches for his country, all part of the 1896 British Isles tour of South Africa. Twentyman-Jones scored his first and only international try in the Third Test at Kimberley, though the South Africans lost the game 3-9. His final international was the Final Test of the tour, which saw the very first South African international victory, beating the tourists 5-0.
In later years he became a well-known sports administrator.
