About Bill Hunt
Lived 1908 – 1983 (aged 75). Bill Hunt was an Australian cricketer.
William Alfred Hunt (26 August 1908 – 30 December 1983) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test match in 1932.
Hunt was a slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler who played first-class cricket for New South Wales from 1929–30 to 1931–32. He took 5 for 36 and 4 for 105 when New South Wales defeated South Australia by an innings and 143 runs in the 1930–31 Sheffield Shield.
In his only Test match, against South Africa in January 1932, Hunt's fellow spinners Clarrie Grimmett and Bill O'Reilly took 18 wickets between them, and Hunt did little bowling and took no wickets. He played with success for Rishton in the Lancashire League in 1934. Later he was the driving force behind the development of the museum at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
