Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
During his return, albeit for a brief period, Hurst showcased his potential as a fast bowler and was among the very few silver linings for Australia in an otherwise disastrous Ashes hammering in 1978-79. He followed it up at home against Pakistan with a career-best performance but unfortunately, didn't play many matches after this. The trip to India saw him struggling to adapt to the demanding sub-continental conditions and he went wicketless for two games before being dropped. He never played for Australia again. Hurst's ODI career was even briefer although he did play a World Cup in 1979, even registering a five-wicket haul. He was one of the most incapable tailenders, having registered 10 ducks in 20 innings including two pairs. After his playing days, Hurst was an active ICC Match Referee.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
The strapping Victorian fast bowler Alan Hurst's injury problems looked set to sentence him to one-cap-wonder status until he made a successful return in the late 1970s. Hurst made his debut in 1973-74, against New Zealand at Adelaide, but was dropped after a modest performance. Four years later he returned to a Packer-gutted side, and in 1978-79 he had a storming season. In six Ashes Tests he grabbed 25 wickets, even though a depleted Australia were hammered 5-1, and then blew Pakistan away with nine wickets at Perth. But that was Hurst's last Test in Australia - two wicketless Tests in India the following season were his last, and he had to return home with a serious back injury. He was also a terrible batsman, who made 10 ducks in 20 Test innings.
