Allan Russell Frost (born 2 December 1942) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket for South Australia from 1965 to 1968.
A fast bowler, Frost took a wicket with the first ball of the innings in his first first-class match when he had MCC’s Geoffrey Boycott caught by Ian Chappell on Christmas Eve 1965.[1] He had his best season in 1966–67, when he took 33 wickets at an average of 23.69 in the Sheffield Shield.[2] He toured New Zealand with the Australian team at the end of the season. He played in two of the four matches against New Zealand, taking six wickets, all of top-order batsmen.[3]
His best first-class bowling figures were 5 for 28 against Wellington in February 1967.[4] His best figures in the Sheffield Shield were 5 for 51 in the first innings against Queensland a month earlier, when he also took 4 for 22 in the second innings.[5]
His career was curtailed by his refusal on religious grounds to play cricket on Sundays.[6]
