Gareth Shaw

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gareth Simon Shaw (born 14 February 1982) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played for the New Zealand national under-19 cricket team in the 2000 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in 2000 and later played first-class and List A cricket for Auckland and Otago.[1]

Shaw was born at Auckland in 1982 and educated at Saint Kentigern College in the city.[2] Primarily playing as a right-arm medium-fast bowler,[3] he played age-group cricket for Auckland sides before making his senior representative debut for the team in January 2002.[1]

After four seasons playing for Auckland, Shaw moved to Otago for a single season in 2005–06, seeking more opportunities to play after having made only 15 appearances for Auckland.[1][4] He later returned to the Auckland side, playing nine Plunket Shield matches in the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons.[1][5] His brother, Lance Shaw, played 38 senior matches for Auckland between 2005–06 and 2009–10.[2][6][7]
