Cullen Benjamin Bailey (born 26 February 1985) is a former Australian first-class cricketer. A leg-spin bowler, he represented South Australia in the Ryobi Cup and Sheffield Shield, the Australian domestic cricket competitions.
Cricket career
[edit]Along with former South Australian spinner Dan Cullen, Bailey attended Westminster School in Adelaide where he was coached by Kim Harris, former assistant coach of South Australia. Bailey had been coached by Terry Jenner, the man who advised Shane Warne, and was thought to be a prospect to be the leg-spinner to follow Warne and Stuart MacGill into the Australian cricket team. He was given a national contract but did not represent Australia.[1] He took 5 for 90 and 3 for 89 when South Australia defeated Queensland by 19 runs at the Adelaide Oval in the Sheffield Shield in February 2009.[2]
Bailey captained Sturt to the premiership in the Adelaide Grade Cricket competition in his last year at the club in 2009/10. He then played for Glenelg, captaining them in 2012/13 to their first premiership in 39 years.
Post-retirement life
[edit]After retiring from cricket, Bailey now works in media management, and was chief of staff for Environment and Water Minister David Speirs.[3]
