He was regarded as an exceptionally brilliant fieldsman,[2] his "running, picking up and throwing in are a positive joy to behold".[3] In 1946 Dudley Carew wrote, "across the years the memory of the fair-haired Pellew, of the Australian Forces team of 1919, stands out in thousands of minds while the centuries and hat-tricks of more famous players have grown dim".[4] His Wisden obituary noted: "Credited with being able to run the 100 yards in 10.2 seconds and to throw a cricket ball over 100 yards, he might well, after sprinting 40 yards round the boundary, save not one run but two or three, so swiftly did he get rid of the ball. In any discussion of the world's greatest outfields, he must be a candidate for a place."[5]
He was South Australia's state coach from 1930 till the Second World War, and again from 1958 to 1970.[5]
Pellew's brother Lance Pellew also played first-class cricket for South Australia.
