Tudor's Test debut came in the 1998/99 Ashes series in which he played solidly with the bat and further impressed selectors while bowling, winning the praise of his opponents, in particular Australia's captain Mark Taylor.
  • His further contributions with the bat were the subject of much attention as he batted against New Zealand and hit 99 not out, the highest-ever score by an English nightwatchman, which led him towards a Cricket Writers' Club Young Cricketer of the Year award; batting partner Graham Thorpe received much ribbing from their Surrey team mates for not letting him reach a century.Initial omission from the 2002/03 Ashes squad was over-ruled when he was selected above several injured players.
  • Injuries in 2003 and 2004 followed, and despite his recovery being aided by visits to the German doctor Dr Hans-Wilhelm MΓΌller-Wohlfahrt, Tudor was released from his contract by Surrey at the end of the 2004 season.

  • He managed to return to action in 2006, playing almost the full season.In August 2008, after a season in which he had failed to hold down a regular place in the Essex side, the county announced that they would be releasing Tudor at the end of the season.
  • Later that month, he returned to Surrey, initially as part of a loan deal.
  • He rejoined Surrey on 24 October 2008. He holds the distinction of bowling one of the most expensive overs on record.
  • Bowling for Surrey against Andrew Flintoff at Old Trafford in 1998 he went for 6–4–4–4–4–6–6–0 (34) and in bowling 2 no balls incurred, under ECB regulations at the time, four more penalty runs for a total of 38 runs in one over.
