Donald Dearness Blackie (5 April 1882 in Bendigo, Victoria – 18 April 1955 in South Melbourne) was an Australian Test cricketer who played three Tests as an off-spinner in the summer of 1928–29. At 46 years 253 days of age at the time of his Test debut, Blackie remains the oldest debutant in Australian Test cricket.

He played many successful seasons of minor club cricket in Melbourne, then retired. On the advice of his doctor he resumed playing at 40, joining the St Kilda club in 1922–23.[1] He made his first-class debut in the 1924–25 season at the age of 42, and remained a fixture in the Victorian side until the end of the 1930–31 season. His last game was in 1933–34 when he was 51. He toured New Zealand with the Australian side in 1927–28, taking 21 wickets at 19.00, including nine wickets in the two matches against New Zealand.

On his Test debut, in the Second Test in 1928–29, he took 4 for 148 off 59 six-ball overs in England's only innings. In the Third Test he took 6 for 94 and 1 for 75, bowling 83 overs in the match.[2] He took 1 for 57 and 2 for 70 in the Fourth Test. Despite his efforts, England won all three Tests, and Blackie lost his place when the selectors reinforced the pace attack for the Fifth Test (which Australia won).

His best figures came in the match Victoria played against the MCC in 1929–30, when he took 5 for 82 and 7 for 25. Like his similarly elderly spin colleague for St Kilda and Victoria Bert Ironmonger, Blackie seldom made many runs, but he once scored 55 for Victoria, helping Albert Hartkopf add 120 for the eighth wicket against South Australia in 1927–28.[3] Unlike Ironmonger, he was a reliable fieldsman, who took numerous catches in the slips.[4]

Wisden described him thus: "An off-break bowler of wiry physique who flighted the ball and allied swerve to spin and accuracy of length, he varied his pace skilfully from medium to slow-medium."[5]
