Tillim was a leg-spin bowler. His best first-class figures were 7 for 34 in his first appearance for Transvaal, against Eastern Province in 1961–62.[1] He took 31 wickets at an average of 24.51 in the 1962–63 season, but was not selected for the tour of Australia in 1963–64.[2] His last first-class wicket, a googly that bowled Neil Hawke, gave Transvaal victory over the touring Australians in November 1966 – the first time an Australian team had lost a first-class match in South Africa.[3]
