Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Francis Joseph Bryant Шаблон:Post-nominals (7 November 1909 – 11 March 1984) was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for Western Australia from 1927 to 1936. He later became Western Australia's leading cricket administrator.[1]
Cricket playing career
Bryant attended Christian Brothers' College, Perth, where in the 1927 season he scored more than 1000 runs in the First XI.[2] Playing in the era before Western Australia was admitted to the Sheffield Shield, he made his first-class debut for Western Australia at the age of 17 in March 1927, alongside his older brothers Dick and Bill (who was playing his only first-class match) against South Australia at the WACA Ground in Perth. The next season, in a match at the WACA Ground against Victoria, he scored 113 not out in the second innings after Western Australia had trailed by 194 runs on the first innings.[3] In 1933-34 he and Dick each made a century when Western Australia narrowly failed to achieve an innings victory over Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[4]
In 1935-36 he toured India with Frank Tarrant's Australian team. He made his highest first-class score of 155 in the match against Bombay[5] and played in all four matches against India.
Cricket administrative career
After service in the army in World War II[6] Bryant went into the hotel business and became Western Australia's most prominent cricket administrator.[1] In the 1950s he successfully argued that Western Australia should play a full Sheffield Shield program, and later he was one of the leading advocates for Test status for the WACA Ground, which was achieved in 1970.[7] He managed the Australian teams that toured New Zealand in 1966-67, 1969-70 and 1973-74.[1] For his services to cricket he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1981 and the Australian Sports Medal posthumously in 2000.[8][9]
