Allan Wise (born 24 February 1979 in Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian cricketer who previously played first-class cricket with the Victorian Bushrangers.
First-class cricket is an official classification of the highest-standard international or domestic matches in the sport of cricket. A first-class match is of three or more days' scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players each and is officially adjudged to be worthy of the status by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each although, in practice, a team might play only one innings or none at all.
Debuting in the 2003–04 season with Victoria, Wise had a solid start to his career and was initially the second choice left-arm paceman behind Matthew Inness. When Inness was dumped for the Pura Cup final that season and was subsequently not given selection for the following season, his transfer to Western Australia saw Wise take over as the number one left-armer.
