Jeff Hammond (cricketer)

Jeffrey Roy Hammond (born 19 April 1950) is a former Australian cricketer who played in five Test matches and one One Day International in 1972 and 1973.

"[1] Hammond made his first-class cricket debut for South Australia in 1969 and was included in the Australian squad for the 1972 Ashes tour of England, where he played his sole One Day International, taking 1/41.

Hammond kept his place in the Australian squad picked for the tour of the West Indies, where, in the absence of the injured Dennis Lillee, he made his Test debut.

The role of Hammond and his opening bowling partner Max Walker has been listed as a key factor in Australia's surprise series victory.

Hammond has a Diploma of Electronic Engineering and was a member of the Telecom Australia's Management team in the early 1990s before returning to cricket administration.
