Timeline

1954

Peter Toohey (born 20 April 1954) is a former Australian cricketer who played in 15 Test matches and five One Day Internationals between 1977 and 1979.

Toohey was one of the cricketers who came to the fore when the bulk of Australia's top cricketers defected to Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket.

During his prime playing years in the Australian Test team, some media commentators referred to Toohey as "Australia's master batsman", such was Toohey's pivotal role in the Australian team during the absence of the World Series players.

Toohey made his first-class debut for New South Wales against Queensland in 1974–75, replacing Ron Crippin.

He scored 0 and 12.

He played two more first class games that summer making only 45 runs in all.

1975

Toohey played better over the 1975-76 season, making 601 first class runs at an average of 40.

The next summer he scored 515 runs at 37.

1977

During the 1977–78 season, defections to World Series Cricket saw opportunities open up for Australian cricketers.

Toohey was selected for the first Test against India.

1978

He was one of the standout performers on the 1978 tour of the West Indies.

In the first test he was knocked out, returned to the field, was dismissed for 20 and did not bat in the second innings.

He missed the second and third tests but was back for the fourth in which Toohey made 40 and 17.

In the fifth test Toohey's double of 122 and 97 put Australia in a strong position to win before the game was prematurely ended due to a riot.

He scored 566 first class runs on tour at 51.

As one of Australia's best batters, Toohey's name was floated as a possibility for the Australian captaincy after Bob Simpson retired but the job went to Graham Yallop.

Toohey had a poor series in 1978-79 against England.

He made 1 and 1 in the first test, but 81 in the first innings of the second test.

His scores were then 0, 32, 20.

1 and 5.

1979

When the World Series Cricket players returned to mainstream Test cricket in 1979–80, Toohey only played two more Tests, both in the summer of 1979–80.

He retired from cricket and now works in the financial sector in Brisbane.

Toohey was born in Blayney, New South Wales, and played cricket for St Stanislaus' College in Bathurst, New South Wales.

He toured New Zealand with Western Districts Colts and played for New South Wales Schoolboys.

He was dropped for the first test against Pakistan, and overlooked for the 1979 World Cup squad and team to tour India.

2012

He made the final eleven while Kim Hughes, who had already played test cricket, was relegated to 12th man.

Toohey had an excellent first test.

When he came to the wicket Australia were 4-43; Toohey helped stop a collapse and by the time he was dimissed for 82 runs, Australia had made 166.

In the second innings he put on a crucial partnership of 84 with Bob Simpson, scoring 57 runs.

Australia won the game by 16 runs.

Toohey failed in the third test (14 and 14), and made 4 and 85 in the fourth test.

His fighting innings of 85 inspired Simpson to call him "a great player".

Australia lost both these matches.

In the fifth test Toohey made 60 in the first innings and 10 in the second.

His series tally of 409 runs at 41 was second only to Bob Simpson, and far superior to the next best batter (Gary Cosier with 240 runs).

He was made 12th man for the 5th test, then scored 54 in an ODI which helped Australia win the game.

He followed this with a useful 16 in a low scoring ODI which Australia also won.

Toohey was recalled to the test side for the 6th test and made 8 and 0.
