About Aaron Bird

  • Aaron Christopher Bird is an Australian cricketer who currently plays first-class cricket for the New South Wales Blues.
  • He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler. Bird arrived from Taree, NSW as a 16-year-old to play Sydney Grade Cricket with North Sydney Cricket Club, eventually going on to play First Grade as an 18-year-old.
  • In this time with North Sydney, Bird hit the headlines when he hit former Test batsman Michael Slater injuring the former test star in the process.
  • Bird now plays his cricket with Bankstown Cricket Club, former home of the Waugh brothers. Bird caused controversy after appearing in a Twenty20 match, in which players wore nicknames on their shirts, with the moniker 'Flu' – a reference to bird flu.
  • He was ordered not to wear the name again, as it upset the sponsors of the tournament, KFC. In December 2006 Bird was reported for a suspect bowling action but was later cleared by Cricket Australia.
  • In January 2009, his bowling action was again reported.
  • After undergoing analysis at the Australian Institute of Sport biomechanics laboratory in Canberra it was found that for some deliveries his elbow extension exceeded the 15-degree limit, he was subsequently banned by Cricket Australia.
  • After being mentioned by the umpires in a Blues' Twenty20 match in January 2010, Bird ended his first-class career in April 2010; he would continue to play grade cricket for Canterbury-Bankstown.
