Malcolm Dolman

Malcolm Charles Dolman (born 14 June 1960) is an Australian former cricketer.

Born in North Adelaide, South Australia, Dolman started bowling Left-arm unorthodox spin (or "chinaman") at primary school and was first noticed as a promising bowler aged 14. He began appearing in representative schoolboy sides and made the Australian Young Cricketers team to England in 1977, playing two unofficial One Day Internationals against England Young Cricketers, and an Australian U/19s tour to Sri Lanka, playing in an unofficial Test match.

Coached by former Test spinner Rex Sellers, Dolman also showed great promise in Adelaide Grade cricket and played colts matches for South Australia, although he was kept from first-class cricket for two years to mature him. This just intensified support for Dolman, who was being called "possibly the most innovative bowler in Australian cricket for a decade" and had former Test player Jack Fingleton calling for his inclusion in the national side before his first-class debut.
