Chris Swan

Christopher Richard Swan (born 10 August 1978) is an Australian professional cricketer. He is a right-arm swing bowler who played for Queensland between 2006 and 2012.

Swan was born at Southport, Queensland in 1978. Before playing first-class cricket, Swan played for the Gold Coast Dolphins in Queensland's grade cricket premiership. He once took nine wickets in an innings for the Dolphins and became the club's captain and coach. He made his debut for Queensland at the age of 28 in a four-day match against New South Wales in October 2006. Despite taking five wickets in the match, it would be more than a year before he played for Queensland again. The performance followed Swan being dropped from the Bulls' team—he only played in the match after other bowlers withdrew from the team with injuries. His average score with the bat in first class cricket is over 20, while his bowling average is less than 26 runs for every wicket.
