George Bernard Shaw (24 October 1931 – 2 August 1984) was a Welsh cricketer. Shaw was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break. He was born in Treharris, Glamorgan.
Shaw made his first-class debut for Glamorgan against the Combined Services in 1951. He made 15 further first-class appearances for Glamorgan, the last of which came against Surrey in the 1955 County Championship.[1] A bowler, Shaw took 26 wickets for Glamorgan, at an average of 27.15, with best figures of 5/38.[2] These figures came in his second first-class match against the Combined Services in 1952, a match in which he also took his other five-wicket haul of 5/67, to give him match figures of 10/105.[3] Typically though, he found it harder against county professionals.[4]
He emigrated to Australia in 1978, where six years later he was killed in a car crash outside Port Pirie, South Australia, on 2 August 1984.[4]
