Ernest Bromley (cricketer)

Ernest Harvey Bromley (2 September 1912 – 1 February 1967) was an Australian cricketer who played in two Test matches, one in 1933 and the other in 1934.

He was educated at Christian Brothers College, Perth (now Aquinas College), where he left in 1928 to play first-class cricket for Western Australia, and in 1933 became the first Western Australian to play cricket for Australia.

Nicknamed Slogger, Bromley was known a remarkable throwing arm. In 1933, during a throwing contest at the MCG, his first throw slammed into a barrier erected 130 yards away to protect spectators.
