Albert William Wright (24 September 1875 – 23 December 1938) was an Australian cricketer and pitch curator. He played in 30 first-class matches for South Australia between 1905 and 1920 before taking over the preparation of the Adelaide Oval. [1]
Wright was a leg-spin bowler who began his first-class career at the age of 30 in December 1905. In his second Sheffield Shield match, he took his best innings figures of 7 for 66 when South Australia beat Victoria. [2] Five years later he took his best match figures of 11 for 176 (5 for 75 and 6 for 101) in a 285-run victory over New South Wales. [3]
In 1907 Wright took a position with the ground staff at the Adelaide Oval. He became the curator at the ground in 1920 and held that position until his death in December 1938. [4] The first Test pitch he prepared yielded 1,753 runs and 40 wickets in six days during the Ashes series in 1920–21; both captains praised the pitch. [5] [6]
Wright married Clara Elizabeth Doran in Adelaide in April 1901. [7] He died in Adelaide in December 1938, survived by his wife, four sons and two daughters. [4]
