Peter Grant Trethewey (born 12 May 1935) is a former Australian cricketer. He played in 28 first-class matches for South Australia and Queensland between 1957 and 1963. [1] He migrated to the United States,where he founded a hotel chain.
Born in Adelaide,Trethewey attended Adelaide Technical High School and trained as a mechanic. [2]
A right-arm fast-medium bowler,Trethewey's best figures were 7 for 69 and 3 for 53 in South Australia's victory over Victoria in the 1957–58 Sheffield Shield. [3] He took 6 for 53 when South Australia dismissed the touring West Indians for 143 in November 1960. [4]
Trethewey was one of several Australian bowlers at the time whose actions were widely considered to be suspect, [5] although he was never no-balled for throwing. He tried to amend his action to make it more acceptable,but lost form as a consequence. [6]
After his cricket career,Trethewey pursued a successful business career in California. [7] He founded the Greystone Hotel chain,which operates hotels in California and Oregon. He also owned a vineyard in Sonoma. [8]
