Wall was a school teacher in Adelaide before and after his cricket career. He died in 1981 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. Wall's 10–36 in February 1933 remains the best first-class figures recorded in Australia.[2] It is also the only ten-wicket innings ever recorded for South Australia.
Wall's grandson Brett Swain played 23 first-class matches for South Australia from 1994 to 2001.
