Alan Norman Connolly (born 29 June 1939) is a former Australian cricketer who played in 29 Tests and one ODI from 1963 to 1971.
A fast bowler early in his career, injury and advice from his state captain Jack Potter led him to slow his pace to increase his accuracy and movement off the pitch and through the air.
[1] Connolly toured England with the Australian team in 1964 but was hampered by injury and poor form.
[4] At the start of the 1967–68 season Connolly took 6 for 104 and 7 for 61 in Victoria's 10-wicket victory over South Australia,[5] and was selected in the Test team again.
[1] After he returned to the Test team, Connolly became a reliable bowler in partnership with Graham McKenzie.
