Timeline
Alan George Hurst (born 15 July 1950) is a former Australian cricketer who played in twelve Test matches and eight One Day Internationals between 1975 and 1979.
Hurst made his first class debut in 1972–73 taking 18 wickets at 40.61.
Hurst was talked about as a test prospect early on because of his pace.
He was picked to play in the third test against New Zealand at the Adelaide, replacing an injured Max Walker.
That season the selectors were experimenting heavily in anticipation of the Ashes series later in the year.
According to one writer, "Hurst is no express. A famous Australian former selector refers to him as "the hearse" but throughout a hard Shield season he has carried the burden for Victoria and his figures have been consistently presentable."
In Hurst's first test he captured the wicket of the Kiwis' star bat Glenn Turner, taking 1–56 and 0–17.
However he wasn't selected to make the trip across the Tasman for the return series a few weeks later, despite a request from Australian skipper Ian Chappell that he do so.
Chappell considered Hurst the fastest bowler in the country, with Dennis Lillee sidelined by a severe back injury.
Hurst took 38 first class wickets in 1973–74 at 30.57.
Hurst was unable to play the first few games of 1974–75 due to his back injury.
The rise of Jeff Thomson during the Ashes series later in 1974 pushed Hurst further down the pecking order in the hunt for a baggy green cap.
He took 29 wickets at 20.13 over the summer and was picked on the 1975 tour of England.
Hurst took 21 wickets on the tour at 31.38 but did not play a test.
He was kept on in the squad to play the 1975 World Cup.
He had a strong season in 1975–76, taking 39 wickets at 23.38, including a spell of 4–13 in nine overs for Victoria against the touring West Indies.
Hurst’s next flirtation with international representation came in early 1976 when he toured South Africa with Richie Benaud's International Wanderers team.
Opening with Dennis Lillee, Hurst lost nothing by comparison as far as pace was concerned.
He took 8 first class wickets at 19.50.
In 1976–77 Hurst took 12 wickets at 18, missing some games in November due to a side strain.
He was selected on the 1977 tour of New Zealand but did not perform particularly well, taking only three first class wickets at an average of 72.66.
One innings his bowling was called "gloomily unpenetrative."
After knocking back a contract with the rebel organisation, Hurst was selected for the first test of the 1977–78 series against India.
He took 0–31 and 2–50; he also scored 26 in the second innings, taking part in a 50-run last-wicket partnership with Jeff Thomson which proved crucial for Australia's victory.
He kept his place in the second test but fell injured and was replaced by Sam Gannon.
He took 41 first class wickets over 1977–78 at 27.24, including 8–84 against Queensland.
When Hurst recovered he was unable to force his way back into the side for the rest of the series, or on the 1978 tour of the West Indies.
Hurst did play in the entire Ashes series during the summer of 1978–79.
In six Tests, he grabbed 25 wickets and formed an opening partnership with debutant Rodney Hogg that rivalled Lillee-Thomson for potency.
Even though Australia lost 5–1, the England players were full of praise for Hurst, whose sustained pace and stamina impressed those who had previously believed him to be physically suspect.
Hurst took 4–93 and 0–17 in the first test.
The second brought him 3–70 and 1–43.
He took 1–24 and 1–30 in the third.
In the fourth he took 5–28 and 0–43.
In the fifth his figures were 3–65 and 4–97.
He took 2–7 for Australia in a one-day game, helping in a rare Australian victory that summer.
In the sixth he took 3–58.
Hurst played two tests against Pakistan.
