Was a cricketer who played for Victoria and Australia. The diminutive Hassett was an elegant middle-order batsman, described by Wisden as, “... a master of nearly every stroke … his superb timing, nimble footwork and strong wrists enabled him to make batting look a simple matter”.[1] His sporting career at school singled him out as a precocious talent, but he took a number of seasons to establish himself in first-class cricket. World War II interrupted his progress when he had just broken into the Australian team. He served in the Middle East and New Guinea before he was chosen to captain a team of Australian servicemen that played the “Victory Tests” in England during the months immediately following VE Day. Hassett’s leadership was intrinsic to the success of the team, which helped to re-establish the game in England, India and Australia in the aftermath of the war.
