Who is Alwyn Harris?

Alwyn Harris is a former Welsh cricketer who played for Glamorgan, often as a left-handed opening batsman, between 1960 and 1964. He bowled only one over in first-class cricket and his bowling style is unknown. He was born at Aberdulais, Glamorgan.

Harris made his first-class debut for Glamorgan against Kent at Rectory Field, Blackheath, in the 1960 County Championship. Harris went on to make 48 further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Kent in the 1964 County Championship. With the bat, he scored a total of 1,698 runs in his 49 first-class appearances, which came at an average of 19.29, and with a high score of 110. This score was one of two centuries he made and came against Warwickshire in 1962, the same season in which he also scored 101 against the touring Pakistanis. This was also his most successful season, with Harris making 25 first-class appearances, 14 more than in any other season, scoring 1048 runs at an average of 23.81. In 1963, Harris played in Glamorgan's first-ever List A match against Somerset in the inaugural Gillette Cup, scoring 6 runs before he was dismissed by Ken Palmer, with Glamorgan winning by 10 runs. This was his only appearance in that format.
