About Simon Cook (Australian cricketer)

  • Simon Hewitt Cook (born 29 January 1972) is an Australian former cricketer. After graduating from the Australian Cricket Academy, he debuted for Victoria early in 1993.
  • He showed promise in the 1993/94 season, taking 30 wickets at 29.5. He moved to New South Wales in the 1995/96 season.
  • He was a surprise selection in two Test matches against New Zealand late in 1997, despite being considered by some to be not even up to first-class standard.
  • On his debut, he took five wickets in the second innings against New Zealand in Perth.Soon after his two Tests, which yielded a respectable bowling average of 20 as a replacement for Glenn McGrath, Cook disappeared off the scene fairly quickly due to injuries.
  • He did play four more Sheffield Shield games in that 1997/98 season, including two four-wicket hauls, but in 1998/99 played just two games for just one wicket.
  • He missed the entire 1999/2000 first-class season, and his next match in December 2000 turned out to be his last in the Pura Cup/Sheffield Shield. Cook retired from all forms of cricket at the end of the 2003-04 season, playing with Victorian Premier Cricket's Melbourne Cricket Club.
