Who is 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.
