Richard Austin '74 - Cricketer
Richard Austin was a talented all rounder and attended STATHS form
1972 to 1974  - A batsman who could bowl either medium pace or
off spin as the situation demanded.  He represented STATHS on the
Sunlight Cup Cricket team from 1972 to 1974  

He broke through into the
West Indies side in 1977-78 - scoring 22
runs at 11.00 in the first two Tests - at the same time he signed for
World Series Cricket. He was dropped for the third Test, along with
some other rebels, prompting the walkout of the remaining Packer
contractees.

His form was not affected by the furore and he ended the domestic
season at the top of the national batting averages. He was only
ever of the periphery of World Series, and after the settlement he
never was in serious consideration for an international recall.
Disenchanted, in 1982-83 he signed to take part in the rebel tour of
South Africa and was subsequently banned for life.
