William Irvine Dudley Hayward OAM (born 15 April 1930) is a former Australian educator and first-class cricketer.

Life and career[]

Bill Hayward was born in the Adelaide beachside suburb of Glenelg, and attended St Peter's College, Adelaide, where he captained the cricket team in 1948.[1] In 1949 he went to study at Jesus College, Cambridge. He gained his cricket Blue in 1950, 1951 and 1953 as an opening bowler. He took his best figures of 6 for 89 against Surrey in 1953.[2] A week earlier he had taken eight wickets in the match against Nottinghamshire when the other Cambridge bowlers took only four.[3]

After graduating, Hayward returned to Australia and became a school teacher. He was headmaster of the Anglican Church Grammar School in Brisbane from 1974 until his retirement in 1986.[4] He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1993 "for service to education particularly through the Queensland Association of Independent Schools".[5]
