Alan Turner Biography

Alan Turner is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on July 23, 1950 in Camperdown, Camperdown, Australia. However Turner performed less well in the next match, making 9 and 21. 105 runs in eight first class innings saw him dropped for the third test in favour of Gary Gilmour. A score of 118 against Essex saw him back for the 4th test, making 2 and 8.

Turner made his test debut against England in 1975. “No one said much to me before my first Test,” he recalled. “You were an Australian, you’d got there because you could play, and you were expected to man up.”

Turner was selected on the 1975 tour of Canada and England after a 1974-75 season where he scored 578 runs at 32.11 with a top score of 88. Captain Ian Chappell admitted “some might consider” Turner’s selection “a surprise, but he is a hard, tough, experienced player with a strong season behind him. Turner has opened the innings for NSW and has batted in a variety of positions. For this reason he must have been given the nod over Ashley Woodcock, who was most unfortunate to have broken down in the last Shield game”.

Turner was dropped from the Australian team at the end of the 1976-77 summer, missing selection for the Centenary Test. “We had three openers: myself, Rick McCosker and Ian Davis, and the selectors wanted to find room for David Hookes in the middle order,” he said. “While we were in New Zealand, Hookes had scored five consecutive Sheffield Shield centuries. That demanded his selection for the Centenary Test.”

Turner began the 1975-76 summer well, making 106 and 66 for NSW against the West Indies. He was picked in the Australian side for the first test and made 81 and 26.
