- Johnny_Moyes abstract "Alban George "Johnny" Moyes MBE MC (2 January 1893—18 January 1963) was a cricketer who played for South Australia and Victoria. Following his brief playing career, Moyes, a professional journalist, later gained greater fame as a writer and commentator on the game. As a right-hand batsman Moyes scored 883 runs at an average of 29.43 and a highest score of 104 in 103 minutes, against Western Australia in his first season. His leg break bowling took 5 wickets at an average of 53.60, with best figures of 2 for 22. He was considered good enough to be selected for the Australian tour of South Africa in 1914, but this was cancelled because of the outbreak of World War I. He played for the Rest of Australia against New South Wales and Victor Trumper was so impressed that he invited him to play as a guest for Gordon Club in a club match. However he was out first ball!Moyes served with distinction in World War I with the 1st AIF in England and France, earning the Military Cross. He played in a number of services’ matches in England and played two matches for Victoria.Moving to Sydney as news editor and sports editor of leading newspapers, Moyes joined Gordon (who must have forgiven him for his previous failure). In one club game he scored 218 runs in 83 minutes. He captained Gordon to a grade premiership in 1923-24, scoring 174 in the final. As a state selector for New South Wales in 1926/27 Moyes helped Don Bradman get his first taste of interstate cricket.Moyes became well known as a cricket commentator for the ABC between 1950 and 1963. Pollard describes him as “always bright and informative, a cheery character respected by players and listeners”. He was a prolific author and wrote the first definitive history of Australian cricket in 1959. Other works included books on Australian batsman, Australian bowlers, Bradman, Benaud, and many books of tours by Test nations. For his services to sport Moyes was awarded the MBE.Moyes died suddenly at his home, three days after commentating on the Third Test of the 1962/63 series between Australia and England at Sydney. A few days before he died he asked the England vice-captain Colin Cowdrey to write a foreword to his book on the 1962–63 Ashes series;Blessed with rare gifts "Johnny" Moyes was loved and respected wherever he went ... He brought to the microphone an authoritative manner, and the shrewd, quick mind of the trained journalist. If he was outspoken and fearless in his appraisal of any situation, at all times he was utterly fair and impartial. Perhaps it was in this way more than any other that he contributed so much to our great game, and that he endeared himself to all who were privileged to know him well.".
