About Gerard Denton

  • Gerard John Denton (born 7 August 1975 in Mount Isa, Queensland) is an Australian first-class cricketer who plays for the Tasmanian Tigers.
  • The right-arm fast-medium bowler began his first-class cricket for the Tasmanian Tigers, despite having been born in Queensland.
  • He switched to the Victorian Bushrangers for two seasons (2005–06 and 06-07), before returning to the Tasmanian Tigers for the 2007-08 season. Denton has had a career hampered by injuries.
  • When fit he can be destructive, as shown by when he dismissed Stuart Law, Allan Border and Jimmy Maher in the space of six deliveries on debut in the 1994-95 summer.
  • He took a couple of years off before returning in 1998-99 for Tasmania and earning Australia A selection.
  • Stress fractures would set him back both in 1999-2000 and 2000-01.
  • He recovered and reappeared in 2001-02 and after a couple of decent seasons he was back to his best in 2003-04, taking 30 wickets at 33.13.
  • He moved to Victoria the following summer but did not get much game time due to hip and foot injuries.
  • His only appearance for the Bushrangers was an ING Cup game.
  • In 2005-06 he made the headlines by breaking one of Justin Langer's ribs which cost the opener a Test place.
  • It would be another painful season for Denton as he suffered from appendicitis late in the summer which meant that he could not line up in the Pura Cup final.
  • He still finished Victoria's leading wicket taker with 33 at 28.15 from his eight matches.
