Peter Trethewey

Peter Grant Trethewey is a former Australian cricketer. He played in 28 first-class matches for South Australia and Queensland between 1957 and 1963. He migrated to the United States, where he founded a hotel chain.

Life and career

Born in Adelaide, Trethewey attended Adelaide Technical High School and trained as a mechanic.
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. He took 6 for 53 when South Australia dismissed the touring West Indians for 143 in November 1960.
Trethewey was one of several Australian bowlers at the time whose actions were widely considered to be suspect, 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.
After his cricket career, Trethewey pursued a successful business career in California. He founded the Greystone Hotel chain, which operates hotels in California and Oregon. He also owned a vineyard in Sonoma.
