Greg Moller (born 29 January 1983) is an Australian cricketer who has played 21 first-class matches and 12 List A matches.[1]
Moller began his cricket career in Boonah playing as an opening bat and wicketkeeper for Fassifern Under-11's and later moved to the Beaudesert competition.[2] He represented the Queensland junior Under-17's and Under-19's sides and in 1999 he was awarded the Ken Mackay Trophy for Queensland Junior Cricketer of the Year.[3] When he was seventeen Moller began playing for Beenleigh-Logan in Brisbane Grade Cricket although he moved to East-Redlands after a short time.[4]
In 2007 he scored 120 and 97 for the Queensland Academy of Sport against the ACT which impressed selectors,[5] and he was selected for Queensland in the 2006/07 First-class season, debuting in February 2007, and played three matches for the State scoring 117 runs at an average of 23.40 without passing 50.[6] He suffered several knee and hamstring related injuries early in his State career, requiring knee surgery in early 2007,[7] and in February 2007 he was struck in the helmet while fielding at short leg,[8] and early in 2008 he missed a game due to a concussion.[9] His performances earned him selection for a Cricket Australia Chairman's XI which played a Sri Lankan side early in the 2007/08 season and in March 2008 he received a scholarship for the Australian Institute of Sport men's program at the Centre of Excellence.[10] In the 2007/08 Pura Cup he scored two 50's and averaged 32.16 in four games.[11]
Moller struggled in the 2008/09 season for Queensland due to injuries,[12] scoring just 78 runs at 13.00 in his three First-class games without passing 50,[13] and scoring 48 runs at 12.00 in the Ford Ranger Cup List A tournament,[14] and he was dropped from the State teams. He had knee surgery again in the off-season and started the 2009/10 season playing for the Queensland Academy of Sport and East-Redlands in Grade cricket hoping to gain reselection and he was also selected in the Australia squad for the Hong Kong Sixes Tournament in late October.[15] He only played one First-class game for Queensland in the 2009/10 season, when injuries to openers Nick Kruger and Ryan Broad left a vacancy,[16] and scored 15 runs across both innings.[17] His Queensland contract was not renewed for the 2010/11 season.[18]
Moller moved to the Gold Coast Dolphins for the 2011/12 Brisbane Grade cricket season,[19] and in 2012/13 he won the Senior Player of the Season for the club as he scored 977 grade runs at an average of 81.41.[20] He was recalled to the Queensland State team in the 2012/13 season and played in five First-class matches scoring 277 runs at 27.70 and scoring his only First-class century,[21] and he also played three List-A games scoring 79 runs at 26.33.[22]
He was awarded a State contract by Queensland again for the 2013/14 season,[23] however a knee injury cut his season short[24] and he only played three First-class games scoring 111 runs at 22.20 without a 50,[25] and five List-A games scoring 87 runs at 17.40 with one 50.[26] His Queensland contract was not renewed for the 2014/15 season,[27] however he was recalled to the First-class team during the season after he scored 233* off 266 balls for East-Redlands and State player Ben McDermott was injured[28] and he played two games scoring 117 at 29.25 with one 50.[29]
Moller was working as a batting coach at Gregory Terrace as of 2014,[30] and he was still playing for East-Redlands as of 2016.[31] For the 2019/20 season Moller was assisting with coaching at Grade training sessions for East-Redlands.[32]
