Is a former cricketer who represented Australia in 18 Tests between 1957 and 1963. A left-arm fast bowler, Meckiff is best known for two things that were unrelated to his skill as a player; he was the batsman run out by Joe Solomon, causing the first Tied Test in cricket history and in 1963, his Test career was sensationally ended when he was no-balled in the First Test against South Africa by umpire Col Egar for throwing. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, there had been a media frenzy about the perceived prevalence of illegal bowling actions in international cricket. The controversy and speculation that dogged Meckiff in the years leading up to his final match caused sections of the cricket community to believe that he had been a scapegoat of the Australian cricket authorities in proving their intent to stamp out throwing.
