About Grahame Thomas

  • Grahame Thomas (born 21 March 1938, Croydon Park, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer who played in eight Tests in 1965 and 1966.
  • After several seasons in which he established a reputation as a hard-hitting batsman for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield, he made his Test debut a few days short of his 27th birthday against the West Indies in 1965.
  • He played all five Tests in that series without notable success, and returned to the Test side in the 1965-66 Ashes series when Bobby Simpson was injured, making two fifties in the last three Tests of the series.
  • He toured South Africa in 1966-67 but was not selected for any of the Tests, and retired from first-class cricket at the end of the tour at the age of 28 in order to concentrate on his career in the printing industry.
  • He was a reliable fielder who occasionally kept wicket in first-class matches. He played most of his Grade cricket in Sydney with Bankstown-Canterbury and was honoured in 2005 with the renaming of Bankstown’s Memorial Outer Oval to the "Grahame Thomas Oval".
  • He was made a life member of Cricket NSW in 2011.
