About this person

Alan Falconer Kippax was a cricketer for New South Wales (NSW) and Australia. Regarded as one of the great stylists of Australian cricket during the era between the two World Wars, Kippax overcame a late start to Test cricket to become a regular in the Australian team between the 1928-29 and 1932-33 seasons. A middle-order batsman, he toured England twice, and at domestic level was a prolific scorer and a highly considered leader of NSW for eight years. To an extent, his Test figures did not correspond with his great success for NSW and he is best remembered for a performance in domestic cricket - a world record last wicket partnership, set during a Sheffield Shield match in 1928-29. His career was curtailed by the controversial Bodyline tactics employed by England on their 1932-33 tour of Australia; Kippax wrote a book denouncing the tactics after the series concluded.
