Chris Duval (born 3 August 1983) is a former Australian cricketer, who played for South Australia and Tasmania.[1] He was a fast bowler who generated enough pace to have interested scouts from American baseball outfit Los Angeles Dodgers.[2] Duval transferred to Tasmania from South Australia in 2006 in an effort to boost the fast-bowling attack following a series of injuries. He later transferred back to South Australia where he became a regular player until he was dropped after the 2010–11 season.[3]
