Thomas Welbourn "Tim" Wall (13 May 1904 – 26 March 1981) was an Australian cricketer who played eighteen Test matches between 1929 and 1934. On his debut, he took five wickets in the second innings against England in Melbourne.[1]
Wall was a school teacher in Adelaide before and after his cricket career. He died in 1981 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. Wall's 10–36 in February 1933 remains the best first-class figures recorded in Australia.[2] It is also the only ten-wicket innings ever recorded for South Australia.
Wall's grandson Brett Swain played 23 first-class matches for South Australia from 1994 to 2001.
