Bruce Colin Francis (born 18 February 1948) is a former Australian cricketer who played three Test matches on the Australian tour of England in 1972.
Francis was a hard-hitting opening batsman, who played for New South Wales from 1968–69 to 1972–73, Essex in 1971 and 1973, and toured South Africa with the D.H. Robins XI in 1973-74 and 1974–75.
A political science graduate, Francis helped Kerry Packer organise World Series Cricket, became James Packer's private cricket coach, and later helped organise the "rebel" Australian tours to South Africa in 1985-86 and 1986–87.[1]
Francis also provided a response to the World Anti-Doping Agency's ban on 34 past and present players of Australian Football League (AFL) club Essendon.[2]
