Wisden Cricketer of the Year 2004 A middleweight boxer in Australia, Bill Alley was one the players who made the game colorful, as against the charges of many who find the game more on the boring side. When Bill Alley was at the crease he would be in a duel with the hapless bowler, and glancing his batting record of little less than 20,000 runs, it is not difficult to know who the winner was. His unorthodox batting had all the right ingredients for the entertainment of the spectators, who loved him wherever he went. He played 12 seasons for Somerset, passing 1000 runs ten times. His happiest moment in cricket was when he score a double hundred in 1961. Criticized for leaving Australia to play county in England, Bill Alley never lost his knack for seeing the lighter side of everything. Bill Alley also tried his hand briefly at umpiring. livescore.warofcricket.com gives information on Bill Alley and other Great Cricket Players. |
