New Delhi, June 22 (Ians) Former Australia and Queensland fast bowler Peter Allan, who played just one Test, has passed away at the age of 87.
Making his debut in the opening clash of the 1965-66 Ashes tour at the Gabba, he took two wickets, including England captain Mike Smith.
Following his death, Cricket Australia tweeted: “Cricket Australia would like to join Queensland Cricket in offering our condolences to the family and friends of Peter Allan.
“The tall right-arm quick represented his country in the 1965-66 Ashes amid a long and successful career with Queensland. May he rest in peace.”
He made a belated Test debut as a 29-year-old, touring the West Indies with Australia in 1964-65, but did not play a Test due to illness.
He was only the second player in Australian first-class cricket history to take all 10 wickets in an innings. Wa’s Ian Brayshaw achieving the same feat...
