Rex Alexander Harry (19 October 1936 – 15 April 2019) was an Australian cricketer. He played one first-class match for Victoria in 1962.[1] A right-arm leg-spinner, he also played 122 matches for North Melbourne between 1956–57 and 1965–66, taking 239 wickets.[2]
While attending University High School in Melbourne, Harry copied the unusual spin-bowling technique of the Test bowler Jack Iverson. He was successful in senior district cricket, but played only once in first-class cricket, when in Victoria's match against Tasmania in 1961–62 he took one wicket.[3][4]
Harry died in Melbourne in April 2019, aged 82.
