Jeremy Michael Allen (born 11 June 1971) is a former Australian cricketer. From Perth, Allen represented Western Australia at both under-17 and under-19 level, and played grade cricket for Subiaco–Floreat.[1] A regular player for the state second XI from the early 1990s, he did not make his senior debut until the 1994–95 season, playing a Mercantile Mutual Cup match against Queensland.[2] On debut at the WACA Ground, he took 3/62 from his ten overs to help Western Australia win by a single run.[3] Despite this performance, Allen did not play any further limited-overs matches for Western Australia, with the state fast-bowling attack including established players Sean Cary, Craig Coulson, and Brendan Julian.[4] His only other match at state level came during the 1996–97 season of the Sheffield Shield.[5] In what was to be his only first-class match, he failed to take a wicket against Tasmania, but did score 30 runs batting tenth in Western Australia's second innings.[6] Although he attended the Australian Cricket Academy in 1996, Allen spent the rest of his career in minor competitions.[7]
