About Roland Hyatt
- Roland Shane Hyatt (30 December 1961 – 5 July 2012) was an Australian former cricketer who played first-class cricket for Tasmania from 1983 to 1986.
- He played for Clarence District Cricket Club in the Tasmanian Grade Cricket competition. He was an all rounder who bowled right arm off spin.
- He made his first-class debut against Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 11 November 1983, in a match in which a remarkable 227 by David Boon gave Tasmania first innings points, despite in ending in a draw.
- Despite taking an excellent catch, his bowling did not impress, and he was dropped for the next match.
- He was picked again to take on New South Wales at the SCG on what was expected to be a spinning wicket, but again failed to take a wicket.Hyatt soon learned his most effective deliveries were drifting balls and quickening sliders, two delivery techniques he quickly learned to capitalise on.
- He took his first Sheffield Shield wicket against Western Australia, dismissing Greg Shipperd with a drifting ball.
- Hyatt never proved to be a prolific wicket-taker, and his best bowling of 3/30 came by cleaning up the New South Wales tail-order.
- His prize first-class wicket came in that innings when he claimed the wicket of the Australian test cricket player Bob Holland.Likewise Hyatt's batting never proved to be effective at first-class level, although he did have a good run of form during the 1985-86 season.
- In that season he made his highest first-class score of 80, attempting to save a match against South Australia.
- In a match against Queensland towards the end of that season he wasn't bowled at all, giving the impression then Tasmanian captain Mark Ray had lost faith in him.
- He played his last match against Victoria at Devonport before being dropped from the side, and returning to grade cricket where he was more successful.
