Shane John Jurgensen (born 28 April 1976 in Redcliffe, Queensland) is an Australian cricket coach and former cricketer. He has played for Queensland, but has also played for Western Australia, Tasmania, and the Sussex Cricket Board in English county cricket.

Playing career

Shane Jurgensen was a talented fast bowler who rose to prominence on the Queensland club scene in the early 1990s. Unable to secure a place in his home state's side due to the strength of their bowling attack, he moved to Western Australia, where he made his first-class debut. After a couple of seasons with Western Australia, he moved to Tasmania, where he played some of his best cricket, including a hat-trick against New South Wales, and a record 11 wickets in the 2002-03 Pura Cup final against the Queensland Bulls.

Following his enormous success with Tasmania he returned to Queensland, fulfilling his dream of representing his home state.

gollark: Yes, that is logged.

gollark: I've made (most of) this UI for viewing details on an incident report now. I'm not very satisfied with the layout though.
