Peter McFarline (died April 2002) was an Australian journalist best known for his work as a cricket writer. He has been called one of Australia's greatest cricket writers. He began his career working for The Courier Mail and later became a writer for The Age. His achievements included breaking the story of World Series Cricket in 1977.[1] During his final years he was afflicted by the debilitating spinal illness, syringomyelia. This first affected him in 1982 and eventually rendered him a quadreplegic. During his last few years he would dictate his copy to his wife, Dell.[2][3] He was played by actor Adam Zwar in the 2012 TV mini-series Howzat! Kerry Packer's War.
