Grahame Thomas (born 21 March 1938, Croydon Park, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer who played in 8 Tests from 1965 to 1966. He made his debut a few days short of his 28th birthday in the 1965-66 Ashes series when Bobby Simpson was injured and was kept on afterwards as he made two fifties in the series and was a good fielder. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings.
