Stuart Grant Law OAM (born 18 October 1968) is an Australian-born cricketer, who played one test and 54 One Day Internationals for Australia. Law also captained Queensland to five Sheffield Shield titles and two one day trophies, making him the most successful captain in Australian domestic cricket; he is also Queensland’s all-time leading run scorer in first class cricket. He is also a cricket coach, and was head coach of the Bangladesh national cricket team in 2011-2012.
After a couple of seasons with the Australian youth team, Law made his first-class debut for Queensland in the 1988/89 Sheffield Shield, scoring 179 in his second match. In 1990/91 he had a superb season, with a batting average over 75 and scoring more than 1,200 runs.
Law made his Australia debut in a One Day International in 1994/95, and captained Young Australia in England the following summer. In 1995/96 he played his first and only Test match in place of the injured Steve Waugh, making an unbeaten half-century, and subsequently being dropped upon Waugh's recovery. As Law was not picked for Australia again, he is now in the unusual position of being a test cricketer without a batting average.
It was a different story in one-day cricket, and he played more than fifty times for his country in that form of the game, including the 1996 World Cup. He was a middle-order batsman, and he occasionally contributed with some right-arm leg spin bowling.
1996 saw Law make his English County Championship debut, with Essex, and such was his success in England that he averaged over 55 in all but one of his six seasons at the county, making his career-best score of 263 in 1999. However, disagreements within the club led him to leave for Lancashire for 2002.
