(born
18 October 1968 in
Herston, Queensland ) is an
Australia n
Cricket er, although he now has
British citizenship and has settled in
England . Theoretically he could now play international cricket for
England , but because of his age and the current England squad already being well-established, is unlikely to do so.
After a couple of seasons with the Australian youth team, Law made his
First-class debut for
Queensland in the
1988 /
89 Sheffield Shield , scoring 179 in only his second match. In
1990 /
91 he had a superb season,
Averaging over 75 with the bat and piling up more than 1,200 runs. He has captained his state to no fewer than five titles in the Shield and its successor, the "
Pura Cup ", and has scored more runs for Queensland than anyone else.
Law made his
Australia debut in a
One-Day International in
1994 /
95 , and captained Young Australia in England the following summer. In
1995 /
96 he played his first and only
Test Match in place of the injured
Steve Waugh , making an unbeaten half-century, and subsequently being dropped upon Waugh's recovery. It was a different story in one-day cricket, and he played more than fifty times for his country in that form of the game.
1996 saw Law make his English
County Championship bow, with
Essex , and such was his success in England that he averaged over 55 in all but one of his six seasons at the county, making his career-best score of 263 in
1999 . However, disagreements within the club led him to leave for
Lancashire for
2002 . Apart from an enforced absence through injury for part of the
2004 season, Law has continued to pile up the runs for his new team, scoring 1,820 in
2003 at an exceptional average of 91.
Law was selected as one of the five
Wisden Cricketers Of The Year in
1998 .
