Bill Hayward
attended St Peter’s College in Adelaide following his older brother Ian to
Adelaide’s English style school. He did not
have any outstanding academic achievements but excelled at several sports. He was a rowing and tennis blue as well as
playing for the first XI cricket team.
Sadly we do not have any of his race winning bathers or tennis rackets in
the collection but there is every cricket bat that he owned. In an ABC radio interview in 1979 he
explained his last match for Saints was a disaster as he was out
for a duck in both innings thus making a pair of spectacles of him!
Cricket historian Bernard Whimpress has been asked to examine the bats to tell us if any are of particular note in terms of their manufacture or brand.
