Alexander Hurwood (17 June 1902 – 26 September 1982), was an Australian cricketer who played in 2 Tests from 1930 to 1931.[1]
Renowned for his odd bowling style — taking only a couple of steps before delivering the ball, Hurwood played for Queensland before being called up to the Australian squad for summer of 1930–31.
Hurwood was unlucky, after gaining very respectable figures from his 2 Tests, to be dropped in favour of bowlers returning to the squad from injury.
He served in World War Two, first as an anti-aircraft gunner in the army from 1940 to 1942,[2] then as a flight lieutenant with the RAAF from 1942 to 1945.[3] Married Norma and father of 3 – Janet, Ross and Philip.
