Shawn Craig (born 23 June 1973) is an Australian former first-class cricketer, who is now an umpire.

Playing career

In his first-class career he averaged 31 with Victoria over the space of 20 matches, and was cut from the state squad after the 2001–02 season.[2] Following this he became a prominent all-rounder in Victorian Premier Cricket, opening the batting for St Kilda Cricket Club.
