Alan Turner (cricketer)

Alan Turner is a former Australian cricketer. He was a lefthanded batsman who played for New South Wales from 1968 until retirement in 1978. He scored over 5,700 runs as a stocky opener with a practised cut shot, though he was not able to prove his abilities at best at international level. He played in fourteen Test matches and six One Day Internationals from 1975 to 1977. On the back of his several good Sheffield Shield seasons he was selected for Australian tours of England and New Zealand. He scored a single Test century against the touring West Indian side in 197576. By a noted cricket writer Peter Hanlon, Turner was described as an ordinary man in the company of Gods.
