Alan Edward Wyatt (born 4 April 1935) is a former Australian cricketer.[1] He played twenty first-class matches for New South Wales between 1956–57 and 1958–59.[2]
Wyatt was an opening bowler and tail-end batsman who played three seasons for New South Wales. In their last match of the 1956–57 Sheffield Shield, he helped New South Wales avoid defeat against Victoria by making 40 at number 10 in New South Wales' follow-on after taking 5 for 100 in Victoria's first innings. The draw enabled New South Wales to retain the Shield; a loss would have given the Shield to Queensland.[3] Wyatt's best bowling figures were 5 for 36 and 2 for 41 in the victory over South Australia in 1957–58; he made 32 in the New South Wales first innings, adding 61 for the last wicket with Jim O'Regan.[4]
Wyatt played for Western Suburbs in Sydney. He was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in 2011.[5]
