John Henry Austin Wallace (30 March 1924 – 15 September 2008) was a first-class cricketer who played for Rhodesia in the Currie Cup from 1949 to 1954.
Wallace, a right-handed batsman, was the only Rhodesian to pass 500 runs in the 1951/52 Currie Cup season.[1] He had particular success against North Eastern Transvaal during his career, making 424 runs at 60.57 against them in four first-class matches and scoring two centuries. The other two centuries he made for Rhodesia came against Orange Free State and Border.[2] He was also dismissed in the 90s on three occasions.
His son Peter played four first-class matches between 1978 and 1983.[3]
