About Alan Fairfax
Alan Geoffrey Fairfax was an Australian cricketer who played in ten Test matches from 1929 to 1931. He was an all rounder. Fairfax had a rapid rise to international honours, making his test debut the same season as his first class debut. Fairfax made his first class debut shortly afterwards, playing Victoria for NSW, opening the batting with Archie Jackson. Fairfax' fourth first glass game was against Victoria. He was back as opener and scored 104 in the first innings – his debut (and, as it turn out, sole) first class century, though overshone by the 340 of teammate Don Bradman.
